I’m running out of room for any new hobbies. My daughter already calls our house “The Lodge”

Yeah that's part of my issue. No basement. Garage is full of car stuff. Looking for a spot to put my flyrods and tackle now....

oh yeah! There is the "den", then the "closet", like yours and then, "the shop" for jeeps and stuff.
When we built the house a while back, we made a deal. She gets 2000 square feet and I get the remaining 1200, not counting the 40x60 shop.
Has worked out pretty well so far. I get away with a little encroachment.

I have a closet like that for PB.
It seems the more space were given, the quicker it's filled. Currently designing a "workshop" for the airguns and other hobbies but the city thinks it's a shed.
Wife said she wants to be able to park 1 car in our 3 car garage and that's exactly what she got LOL the rest is organized totes, cabinets, kids stuff and a home gym

My friend, in spite of him throwing out about a ton of stuff when he moved ( literally ) he have a whole farm ( by Danish measures ) full.
The barn have 3 20 X 20 foot sections for horses,,,, BUT ! those have been filled with stuff too, though one are now being turned into a 1:24 scale indoor 4X4 off-road environment.
Mind you at his place its not guns, but more RC stuff.
Take BB63 / USS Missouri a not small boat IRL, but also in 1:128 scale, so due to it more or less being like a hedgehog due to all the cannons on it, well you better be 2 men moving it around, though it is not canoe size then it is substantial.

It’s time to expand into the attic or build a shed to move stuff from the garage and fill in the new garage space

. I get it. When I first met the wife I had two dirt bikes in the living room of the little house I owned in Missouri. She asked "why is there motorcycles in the living room." I told her I didn't have a garage.Upvote 0
Heck, when I was still single I rebuilt a dirt bike engine on the kitchen table.Haha

Bad part is I wasn't single. Still married (to the same lady) I've since downsized, but not at her request.Haha

Wow this makes me look back and look around. Long before I met my wife I rebuilt a 350 Chevy engine in my kitchen. These days I’ve managed to fill half of one closet with camera gear, another closet with RC planes, part of a third with some rifles. You don’t want to know about what was once a garage or the shop or the home office or…..you get the picture.

Well you have a nice start. Just wait things will start migrating and colonizing all over the house. All my outdoor gear starts in the garage and then occupies the spare bedroom, the office and a closet.
