Q: I just bought an old house and want to put up some shelves in the
basement. I need some help and ideas on types that will work with cement
walls, and what is the best way to make them. Thank you very much.

To save money on a kitchen renovation, reorganize and re-equip the kitchen cabinets you already have. Replace space-hogging shelves with pullout drawers, swing-out corner units, and multitiered racks. You might reclaim so much space that you can forgo adding more footage to the room.
