Hidden storage help

[Morgan]

Hi there, we have worked out that the best location for us to store food is our cubby hole under the stairs. It's cool and brick built and pretty large really.

It's actually my work-shed at the moment, but I can sacrifice a couple of feet for food/gear storage.

My issue is making it a bit less obvious, I want to section off a foot or so at the back, but getting it to blend in is the issue as the rest of it is all old red brick. I don't expect it to pass a thorough examination, just a torch shone in and a quick look type of thing, it's really not big enough to hold a massive amount without it being obvious.

Therefore it needs to look like old, coal dust covered red brick, but be light enough and easy enough to move out of the way to get at the stored material.

Any suggestions?
