Q&A


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.

Tips


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.
