Tuesday’s Tips: Put casters on anything to create mobile storage…

So I was watching Racheal Ray on dvr and DIY pro Carter Oosterhouse was showing how to create extra storage for a couple who lived in a tiny NY apt. He basically put casters on a regular bookshelf and squeezed it in the space between the wall and fridge. See the segment HERE. Brilliant. So it got me thinking…there’s spaces like that in most areas. Laundry areas especially. I have a stackable in my apt and although I don’t need additional storage, I could easily fit something on the side. Casters help impact height and give mobility to other furniture pieces as well. Put them on a table to create a center island for a kitchen or a rolling bar cart if you repurpose a changing table. Put them on another shelving unit, you can create division in an open floor plan.
