Enjoyed this...The storage under the steps we have in our room. The lady we bought the house from came back and was telling us about this "storage"....we didn't know anything about it. Sure enough when she showed this to us she had left some items in it...funny.

They are all really cute. I can imagine some youngsters playing with the sponge microphone in the shower. Someone would surely put that on a Funny Video show. :lol:

I am in the process of finalizing the layout of my cabin. Those stair drawers look like a great place for stash, thread and notions. Not to mention my other passions: tools and shoes. I definitely will be using those!!!!

I love the storage under the stairs.

Babs194068 09-30-2010 03:17 AM

How funny!

Connie Merritt 09-30-2010 06:38 AM

Boy would I like the stair drawers, more stash places.

marlene tarzwell 09-30-2010 09:11 AM

These are just too funny! I really needed a laugh.

lynnie 09-30-2010 09:31 AM

I love the stair stasher (great for fabs!!!!) and the ladder.

lynnie 09-30-2010 09:34 AM

OK so where can we get some of those great gifts?????

Matilda 09-30-2010 09:37 AM

Those are all hilarious!! I love the drawers in the stairs. Next time we build a house I will definitely do that!! LOL I love the coffee and cookies idea--right up my alley!

My parents, in a 90 yr. old house had a storage area under
the first step to go upstairs. Mom used it to store rags
for wiping up the floor of muddy tracks. Us humans and
the pets!

Love the hidden storage in the stairs. Made me wish I had stair in my house -- more places to "hide" fabric stash.
I also loved the camera scope.

KarenBarnes 09-30-2010 05:49 PM

As someone who has wasted space under the stairs, I love it! My husband said he's actually seen it somewhere before, must be IKEA or something! :)

I actually designed and built the drawers into my basement steps about 25 years ago. I live in a split level house, and there is only about 6 steps into the basement. Since it may sometime get wet, I did not put one on the floor. The next one when pulled all the way out is 52" deep, and the top one is only as deep as the step itself. I used it for all the board games for my kids but now I have other uses for them, like packing tapes, my leather (to be used someday), my large bolts of fabric, wrapped of course. Instead of handles that would get in the way of walking, I drilled holes in the fronts. All you have to do is stick your fingers in and pull. I submitted it to Better Homes and Gardens contest but did not win, but I really think it could be used most anywhere. Most of the time it is just a waste of space. I have the plans if you need them.

Really like the stairs, I am always looking for more storage space....

Beffy_Boo 09-30-2010 11:25 PM

Fun! Fun! Fun! Creativity and thinking outside the box. I love it. Thanks for posting.

I want the stairs that are drawers. What a wonderful idea, added storage space.

sewsista 10-01-2010 03:30 AM

mawcarol 10-01-2010 05:00 AM

Thanks for posting there. I got a chuckle out of them this morning.

puck116 10-01-2010 12:13 PM

The drawers in the stairs idea is great. What wasted space otherwise. I could have used the measuring tape on the bed when I was growing up and had to share a bed with my sister.

craftybear 10-01-2010 12:18 PM

thanks for posting these, lots of cool ideas, I love the storage for the stairs!

Thanks for the laughs. Love the stairs.

moonwolf23 10-02-2010 04:48 PM

I love those. I'm thinking the shoe storage is a great idea.

RugosaB 10-03-2010 06:46 PM

We have a drawer like that that held the kids mittens, when the kids were little. Now it just holds junk

Margie 10-03-2010 07:04 PM

Would love those drawers in stairs for stash in basement, and in foyer to put shoes/boots/umbrellas

Funny but some might be quite useful, like the drawer under the steps and the cookie slot in the mug, forget the toilet seat at computer desk(gross). The measuring tape for a belt is something I'd never use, what women wants everyone to know her waist size?, May in Jersey

bob1414 10-04-2010 12:35 PM

I've had those drinking glasses for 20 years - love 'em!
