Our basement is a mess and that's a mild way of describing it! It definitely has its issues. It's crawling with spiders, it's cold, water comes in every spring, we aren't really able to use all of it as livable space so it has become a storage area. An incredibly messy storage area.
We did get a ping pong table a few years ago thinking that maybe we'd use the space a little bit more but the table has just become another place to store stuff. And since nobody goes in our basement, it just keeps getting worse and worse. It has become a dumping ground for anything and everything. It drives me nuts yet I still ignore it.
It's time to bring some order to the chaos that is our basement!Our basement is one large room but it has many different functions. The basement is...
a laundry room,
a sewing/craft room,
a rec room (with ping pong table, couches and tv),
a pantry,
and a storage room for anything that doesn't have a home.
My goal going forward is to take on one area every month. Hopefully, by being accountable to someone else, I can finally get the mess under control. In November I am going to tackle the laundry area. So tell me, how is your laundry area organized? What tips do you have to keep the area organized? What works for you? What doesn't work?
Now I may or may not have clothes sitting in the dryer still from a few days ago so I better get started! Wish me luck and if you don't hear from me in awhile....send help!! I could very easily get trapped under all of the mess down there!
