Utilizing Dead Space In Stair Case

Very cool solution for some normally wasted space. Nice job. Thank you for sharing.

Very nice! I hate wasted space!

Now that is nice. Great thinking and planning. I once toured a multi-million dollar showcase home and they had a really big screen TV built into that space but the staircase it was built under was quite a show piece itself. Oh well. haha. Good thinking pal.

Very nicely ‘reclaimed’ space. I like it!!!

-- There is nothing in the world more dangerous, than a woodworker who knows how to read a micrometer...

These a simply gorgeous cabinets. Great use of space as well.

What wood did you use?

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Great ideas!

Beautiful job! I especially like the China Hutch. It’s neat to see someone add those quality touches to a contemporary home. The space between the studs of old homes here in the St.Louis area are frequently found to have these nice touches. My daughter’s last apartment & the home she lives in now have cabinet doors beneath the kitchen windows. These cabinets placed between the studs of exterior walls were used for refridgeration of perishables in the old days. I think they have an “R” value of -5. Can you imagine someone doing that with the cost of heating & cooling a home these days?!
