~ Extra closets

~ Storage shelves for seasonal items



The possibilities are ENDLESS!!






Remember, too, that if you start (or continue) a home-based business, you may be able to use that home office or teaching studio AND that business-related storage space as a tax-deductible expense!


Check with your accountant to figure out both the tax-deductible COST TO BUILD as well as the tax deductions for business use of the space.

Each country has various incentives and deductions for businesses. The U.S. rewards entrepreneurs, so consider starting a home business and watch your savings climb!
