I\u2019m not sure if I ever mentioned this before but I used to play drums in a rock band.<\/p>\n

Now whilst I had a great time playing gigs the one thing that was a constant pain was horsing the drum kit all around the place and then putting together the many pieces of the drum kit together.<\/p>\n

\"Me<\/p>\n

And if we were playing with another band, then I would have to put the kit together, do a sound check and then take some of it apart again so the other drummer could use his set up and then put it back together before we started playing!<\/p>\n

Much more hassle than playing guitar!<\/p>\n

To facilitate all this I had to have a pretty comprehensive way of storing all the bits and bobs so I could find them when I needed them and of course so I wouldn\u2019t lose any of it either.<\/p>\n

And I had to be bit inventive with storing my equipment.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a similar thing for terraced houses.<\/p>\n

Now if there is one thing that terraced houses lack, and that\u2019s a provision for storage.<\/p>\n

So here is a list of inventive storage ideas that you can use to provide better storage in your home.<\/p>\n

1) IKEA Baby Dresser<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

She\u2019s got a storage place in it for pretty much every baby essential so you can keep the place nice and tidy to boot.. Re<\/a>ad more\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n
