My space has been ready in the basement for a few weeks and I have been enjoying it (mostly in the wee hours of the night!) I wanted to wait until I practiced using it to put all the little doodads in their final home. Now I know what items should be the easiest to access and what items can sit in a drawer or cupboard until the end of the world.

We cleaned this whole area of the basement and used leftover paint from our bathroom remodels. We also used some water blocking primer on the concrete blocks. It looks 1,000 times better!

Here you can see my wrapping station which my husband built for me at Christmas. It looked so nice that we just HAD to clean up the rest of the area! My mother-in-law gave me a great paper storage cart for my birthday, as well as a bunch of storage boxes.

It’s great to have everything organized, but at the end of the day, this isn’t a prominent area of my house, so I didn’t care about having fancy containers. The silver cans are formula cans and the other containers are baby food jars and baby food containers. They are the perfect size for paper clips, brads, stick-on pearls, buttons, erasers, etc. This shelf was built into the counter. I had attempted to use this tension rod to hold ribbon in my closet upstairs, but it was too small. It was the perfect size for this shelf, though!

I needed a shelf for my fabric and this one was hanging out in our house holding soda of all things! It is actually an old, deep media cabinet. It ended up being a great shelf to fit my fabric. I just rolled it up and shoved it in! On top of the shelf is a small file holder with patterns, stickers, labels, etc. In addition to the wrapping station, my husband also got me this amazing chair from Wayfair. I used to sit on this stool that my friend painted for me in high school. It is still adorable, but not comfortable! I plan on sitting here for many projects, so I am glad that my new chair is comfortable! It is also on casters so that I can roll around like a ten-year old. Hopefully over the weekend I can get a little crafting to happen and share it with you!
