Annie Thornton Hi @new1, I would contact a contractor or experienced builder and see if you guys can work on this together. That way, you are sure to get a great product, a lot of knowledge, and you are sure to avoid any mishaps that may happen from attempting this alone.

Sometimes a window seat can be carved out of an area previously housing another piece of furniture.

added by Becky Harris to Clever Ways to Maximize Space
This cozy spot takes advantage of a space formerly completely hogged by a radiator. The upper shelf is a great idea, and the coordinating bins keep it looking neat and elegant.

Here's a look at the "After" photo. I love the use of a "bridging shelf" across the top of the window. What a great idea for additional storage!
added by Between Naps on the Porch to Tapping Into The Hidden Storage Space In Your Home
This may be my favorite pic in this whole ideabook. The not-so-attractive radiator is virtually hidden, and additional seating has been gained. Even the space overhead has not been wasted.
What hidden storage spaces have you found in your home?
