I was so limited that when I retired I got extremely lucky and purchased a second home. Did go back in debt....don't care. Now I am told if I hang anything more on the wall 'Up there', the walls will cave in...

And I agree Vertical Storage. Up there - Gun Safe in one area - Locked Ammo in another - Reloading bench with lots of Vertical Storage. Even overhead bins for my hunting cloths for Deer, Turkey, Bow, Upland.
Just another idea for you.
