So let me preface this by saying I am a huge believer that no matter how big a house is it can get decluttered - I know that if my house was 3 times the size it wouldn’t make it less cluttered.

But as I’m going through this process I’m so annoyed with the lack of space and storage in our house. We live in an area where houses aren’t big (space is at a premium). It’s not tiny but the storage sucks. Our kitchen is small, there isn’t a ton of storage or room for storage and I’m just frustrated with seeing all these creators (not hate to them at all - this is a me issue ) with their kitchens 3x as big as mine, huge bedrooms etc ecluttering and I think I’m just jealous because we’ll never get there without moving to a while different area.

I’m just cranky and in a funk and you all have been so supportive so I figured some of you would understand. Sometimes I just wanna pack up and move to the middle of nowhere and get that massive house. I’ll just be here jealous of all those huge Texas houses (for some reason those always pop up on my feed hahaha)

Thanks for listening!

I’m in the process of house hunting for my first house, and I’m noticing a lot of small and old homes that I’ve seen in my area lack storage space. Small bedroom closets, small and few cupboards, no pantry. There is an old rambler that I like in particular, but I’m having trouble picturing where to store things.

I suppose for the bedroom, you can just use drawers (sucks that the drawers would take up precious space since the rooms are fairly small too lol). However, what is one to do with lack of cupboards and a pantry closet, etc.

Someone had suggested that I add more cupboards, which is not always feasible considering there sometimes is no free wall space in the itty bitty kitchen.

I know this sounds like a silly concern, especially when the home is just for two people, but I’ve been living with limited space in an apartment and don’t want to be cooped up and want my future place to be livable for future renters. Equally important, I gots a love for Costco and stockpile on all of our necessity, which often means too many canned and boxed goods 😂

Tlder- how can you make more kitchen storage space?
