Clever Shelf
Our old house has two closets. They were added into two of the bedrooms after the bedrooms were built, so they intrude into the room. They're pretty small, about 4'x6'. Maybe not that deep. We have no coat closet, no linen closet, no place to hide the broom and vacuum cleaner, no place to put aspirin and bandaids, no place for board games or toys.
Evidently, the prior owners also felt the need for more storage space, and they had some very clever solutions. Here is a shelf in the mud room, fashioned of a piece of board and some baling twine. I wouldn't have thought it would be stable if you described it to me, but it works like a champ.
Clever, huh?

wow! : )
my grandmom's house in the village had those. amazing! thanks for reminding me..will make some in our garage.
how are the chics?
The shelf picture is amazing, I might try doing a couple of those.
Our old house had a shortage of not only closets but hallways. On the second floor, to get to the other bedrooms from the master bedroom was through a hole punched through the one and only closet. Unless you wanted to go down the kitchen stairs, through the whole house and up the main staircase. Other prioties way back when.
So glad I found your blog :)
