Once we renovated our home, we turned our storage into a brand new kitchen. So we needed to discover a new place for our trash cans. Right here is our answer for DIY hidden trash can storage!
Storage Is Going Going Gone
Our trash can and recycling bin have been beforehand saved within the storage – together with 1,000 different issues! The storage went by many iterations of junk storage. This picture was it as its worst!!!
Right here it’s wanting much more organized:
So the place is all of that stuff now? I’d say half of it’s simply gone. Twenty-five % is neatly saved within our home and the remainder (backyard instruments, and many others.) are nonetheless ready a very good storage spot and are exterior within the again. (The garden mower, for instance, is beneath the again deck touchdown stairs).
We knew a lot of the stuff within the storage may very well be higher organized, so we turned it into a fantastic kitchen as a substitute!

DIY In Progress
Thomas then construct a low-to-the-ground deck over prime of the muddy space that after was the patio. I’m at all times amazed watching him flip nothing into one thing! You possibly can see that Gus thinks this deck is unquestionably being constructed for him!

The difficult half
I really like how he crammed within the hole with pebbles and a step stone.
We have now greater than sufficient room for the trash can, recycling bin, and some different gadgets (the step stool gained’t be exterior for lengthy – it’s getting used for this venture). Whereas nothing is protected against the weather, it’s nonetheless good to have the ability to have some outside storage in right here and/or room to develop into an even bigger can if wanted.
We LOVE that we are able to take out the trash or put in recycling with out having to open the doorways – simply drop it excessive!
Thomas would love everybody to know that he’s ending the within with much more wooden, however I couldn’t wait to take photographs of that : )
The edges are cedar and can fade over time.
We additionally love the way it connects to the stair touchdown resulting in the yard (Thomas changed the outdated touchdown so it will be seamless). And in some way he has already gotten all of the grass to develop too!
Right here’s the view from the aspect door. And the stroller lives on the market more often than not too.
