This again would only work for a special home with a little planning. We could all use lots of extra storage couldn’t we. This is great option and it would keep the minimalist look if you like that. At times I like it but heck I just have way to much stuff that I have no intention of parting with – so the minimalist approach will never be found in my home.
Cut the foot part of socks off and overlap them one onto another until you get desired length. You can sew or use glue to attach to each other. The sock you use to make the head you leave the foot on. Stuff with poly fiber. Add buttons for eyes and a felt tongue. Use this same design and stuff with dried beans to put an end to a cold draft under a door or in a window sill.

Although this would work in only certain rooms it is a great idea isn’t it? The floor to ceiling height in this room is around 14 feet. The floor to top to new raised floor is 20 inches. The drawer is roughly 18 inches tall allowing for a lot of storage. The drawers are a nice touch but to simplify the process another set of doors would work just fine. The doors do not have to have hinges either – it could just be a simple lift out solution. For those with small living areas – which is so hot right now – this idea warrants further research.
