We use various parts of our home as art studio space. This includes what was once a garage but which at some point well before we moved in was converted to studio. Our challenge is that a significant chunk of that space is currently being used to house some older large paintings. We need to recover that space for art activities so we’re looking for some dry, safe storage space which won’t cost us an arm and a leg.
There are all kinds of storage facilities around, both locally and further away, but before we go that route, I thought it was worth posting here to see if any readers know of the perfect situation, just waiting for us. Open for suggestions.

We’ve talked in the past about opening up spots in our ceiling to create a type of loft space storage. The way our house is it will work, but is would depend on your house construction. I just thought I would mention it.
Thanks for the suggestion, Deb. Unfortunately I don’t think we can make that kind of scheme work.
Approx. what size would you be expanding that as need be?
Approx. what size AND would you be expanding that as need be? Correction!
I think we’re going to need something like 10X10 including expansion.
