No, the basement isn't finished yet. Not by a long shot! I still have to sort out each individual box and purge/re-organize them, but at least I have the space to do it in now. I ended up taking 3 very full loads to Goodwill on Tuesday, including 2 dressers, a table, a desk, and tons of miscellaneous other stuff. Boy, was I tired! Hauling furniture up the stairs, outside, then loading into the vehicle in 100 degree heat was exhausting! But it definitely made a difference. Now I can work on making it NICE. By that I mean re-vamping the craft area with the other table that will be replacing the existing one next week and making the area inspiring; getting rid of boxes I empty and making sure I have all the same type of plastic containers, labelled and on shelves for storing keepsakes and Christmas decorations; and by putting up some pretty curtains in the window and adding some more drywall, a drop ceiling, yada yada yada...
But I have room now. And, as promised, here is the fruit of my labor...
Quite an improvement, don't you agree? Obviously it still has a ways to go, but for a good 12 hours of steady work, I'm happy with what I have at the moment. This winter will be perfect timing to go through boxes. I'll be stuck inside most of the time anyway!
So, have I inspired you to declutter and dig out a little? I hope so! It is such a liberating feeling - you really should try it sometime!
Don't try so hard ,the best things come when you least expect them to. Don't waste your time on a man/woman ,who isn't willing to waste their time on you .11
