Two painted room divider screens left by our tenant when we were living away. Some old suitcases, some baskets and (hopefully) my vinyl collection.

I haven’t got one. I live in a flat. Let me tell you that I don’t miss a single thing from the 95% of stuff that used to be in my attic that I threw out when I moved.

My DD. We did a loft conversion 12 years ago and it's now a bedroom and DH's office.

There is a small eve's stoarage area which has our Christmas decoration and DD's Biro train set stored.

There's a spare bedroom / office and a bathroom. Storage for Xmas decs, camping stuff, suitcases, wicker picnic basket, spare bedding. Then the cupboard of shame that has loads of old clothes and toys of the kids. I clear some stuff out periodically, the aim is to just have easier access storage for the things we actually use.
