We love it when people are able to squeeze just a little bit more utility in spaces normally looked over. Such is the case of these stairway pullout drawers shown in Vogue Living Austalia. You can see the first two steps have pullout tabs to store slippers and extra footwear, utilizing perfectly usable space with a bit of wow-factor. A stairway to storage heaven.
