The Shed Notebook: The Story of the Basement

When we moved to 514 the basement became the place to put everything we didn't know where it should go. The basement has a bedroom, a pantry, and a place to do laundry, and a whole bunch of other space. This space has been filled with boxes, tubs, bags, and misc. furniture.
Once we decided the purpose of The Shed, all the craft items and other tubs and boxes of "stuff" found there way back to the basement.
We laid down the carpet we claimed from Mom's living room. We found a great chest of drawers at a local second hand store, and moved other furniture to the basement that had been other places in the house, shed, and garage.
Let's just say it has been a slow process. I worked gung ho one week-end, then got busy with The Shed. I think tomorrow is going to be Basement Day. I have set a goal to get the craft area organized, the pantry useable, the boxes and bins put away, and figure out how to get lots of other "stuff" back upstairs and out to the truck to head to the dump.
The collage above shows the chest of drawers that has gotten organized a bit,  the wall that stores wreathes, the chair that needs fixing, and the pantry which has been started. I hope to do some after pictures very soon. Junebug found a tub of pillows that is working well for her bed.
