Soooo this is a DIY recipe . . . My basement was in major need of extra storage space & going vertical is the way to maximize storage. I bought the shelving pieces at Home Depot. You purchase the vertical support pieces separate from the MDF shelving pieces. What I love about it is that you can cut the MDF shelving to the sizes you need for your particular space (you can also cut down the vertical supports).  I bought the paint in the “mistake” aisle of Home Depot, one full gallon $5 . . . love that color!

Before – No Storage

After – Awesome Storage
