This new basement is MUCH more functional because it still serves as a helpful storage space for some things (like paint, unfinished furniture, tools, etc) but in the absence of a garage, it has also become my workshop. It was mostly just where all of our holiday decorations lived in the off-season, which now live in the attic of this house. Sure it was nice to have the walls and floor painted (and it definitely seemed to help with resale) but we were barely down there to ever enjoy it. We didn’t work down there ever (that’s what the garage was for) so some of the effort that we put into “finishing” the room ended up being overkill. For instance, the last one was kind of a glorified storage space.
We tackled a similar basement in our last house – a small cinder block fortress accessible from a separate exterior door only.īut there are some key differences to these basements – and some lessons that we learned from the last one that will guide how we approach this one. But I guess that first picture gave that away. Because honestly, we’ve put ZERO effort into organizing or fixing up this space since moving in nearly two years ago. Well, that Bagster purge and our recent yard sale were the kick in the butt that I’ve needed to finally put some energy into this room. …to a slightly more presentable space thanks to our Bagster rental a few weeks ago. You may recall that it recently went from a shameful deck-debris-filled no man’s land… Yes, let’s spend some time in our basement, shall we? Oh wait – that sounds like an invitation to get murdered or something. Now that we’ve cleared out our backyard’s weed & liriope convention, let’s move on to another area that has been sorely lacking our attention.
