Under stair storage ideas?

[BMB]

Don't believe I've seen too much on this, but looking for ideas (pics) of under stair storage for basement/garage stairs.

Thanks

Storage for strange orphans you're guilted into raising in your home?

More seriously, we used to have a little walk-in closet under the stairs in the house I grew up in. My parents put in a bunch of crates on either side, leaving a path through the center, and added a string for the pull light that was long enough for a 4-year-old to reach it. I kept all of my toys in there, and even ended up using it quite extensively as play space when I was a child. Since it was out of the way, I didn't get in a ton of trouble the time I 'decorated' the walls with my crayons.

I've been trying to find pics for storage for the sides of stairs as I head down to the basement. Seems all those 2x4 studs could be doing more. Probably look better too,,

Google "stair tread drawers" and go to the "images" section. Lots of cool ideas that people have built. I saw some made on one of those cable tv renovation shows and thought it was an interesting solution.

I seem to recall coming across an article somewhere, maybe on family handyman. There were plans for a rolling shelving/storage unit on a caster system that could roll in under the stairs and roll out for access. Granted it's meant for the back end beneath the stairs.
