The Storage Loft

We took advantage or the very high ceiling in the walk-in closet off the master bedroom and created a hidden storage loft. To keep the same style throughout the house, we anchored additional support beams along the walls, and finished the project with tongue & groove pine. Final dimensions are 1.95cm x 2.32cm with a height ranging from 98cm to 171cm.
Since we saved every bit of excess building material from the intial house build, this project cost less than 8,000 Yen (about $80 USD), but since I am a slow carpenter, this project took almost 10 hours to complete. Now our holiday decorations and off-season gear has a storage place, freeing up valuable floor space for the next projects...
