How to Transform Your Attic Into a Dream Storage Space

Invest in some smart finishes and you can unleash so much potential.

Hide Away Clutter in Style
Nothing is worse than heaving your stuff all the way up to the attic, then letting it sit out in plain sight. What's the point? Instead, utilize rolling doors to make it easy to stash items out of the way — in style.

Create a Craft-Lover's Heaven
If you're all about DIY projects, you probably have mountains of paper, paint, and other supplies in your home — but no where to put it all. Enter: A chic reorg solution that offers space for storage and craft time.

Utilize Sloping Ceilings
Since most attics have steep walls, they're not always the most convenient storage spots — unless you take advantage of open shelving as in this room. Suddenly an unlikely wall becomes a convenient desk.

Make Your Built-Ins Work Overtime
Built-in storage is genius, but hidden space behindit is even better. Stash out-of-season clothes or birthday presents away from peeping eyes with this DIY idea.

Line the Walls With Organizers
These IKEA shelves are short enough to fit against awkward walls with low ceilings, making them ideal for toy storage in a makeshift playroom. Now all you have to do is figure out how you're going to tote all your kid's stuffed animals upstairs.

Make a Nook Even Cozier
If you don't have a dedicated guest bedroom, that doesn't mean your overnight guests have to sleep on the sofa. A daybed hidden in a tiny nook in your attic (with a curtain door!) offers a sweet escape for visitors.

Stack a Desk Against the Wall
No home office? No problem. Floating shelves offer tons of office storage and even a flat surface to work on as you pay bills, fill out your taxes, or even just spend some quiet time doodling (hey, no judgements).

The Only 8 Bar Accessories You Really Need

Getty Considering exactly how to stock your bar can really open up a can of worms. Do you buy separate glasses for red wine, white wine, and champagne? Do you really need those (super cute) Moscow mule mugs? Which cocktail utensils are essential? And what the heck to do they all do? We turned to Laurén LaRocca, one half of the party planning, lifestyle blogging duo Twink + Sis, to find out which accessories you really need. Here's what she recommends: 1. A Cocktail Shaker "Freshly crafted cocktails are truly unparalleled and they really do have a special quality when shaken. It's actually remarkable! Even if you shook up some lemon juice, vodka and simple syrup in a shaker, you'd have a better cocktail than what's served in most bars. Though some shakers are works of art, even the most basic of shakers work great and are relatively inexpensive." 2.

Spooky Caverns Lie Beneath This Unassuming Castle

Patricia Chang Bill Gilbert never imagined he'd own the castle all his friends thought was haunted when he was a kid. Clearly, life doesn't always turn out how you expect, because he bought the 145-year-old stone structure known as the Albion Castle back in 2012. While he luckily hasn't run into any ghost occupants, he has gone to great lengths to restore the home to its original glory. Curbed has the full story on the renovation (and the dreamy shots of the eclectic interior — we're talking natural wood and stone combined with lots of bohemian accents).  Patricia Chang But here's the historical nugget we found most intriguing : Back in 1870 two British brothers stumbled upon a natural spring in San Francisco. Inspired by Norman castles, they decided to use the fresh water  to produce beer and built the Albion Ale and Porter Brewery right on top of the spring.  Eventually, the company went out of business and the structure has since had several different owners (i
