Dilema: After converting the dining room to a living room/study, there is no place to store my fine china, serving ware and seasonal kitchen items. A year later the boxes from the china cabinet are still in the basement.

Solution: Utilize the space above the kitchen cabinets with unique, decorative, storage items.
