It's a beautiful day here! I decided to work on my basement. It is unfinished and was pretty organized, in that I knew where everything was. However, it wasn't set up quite the way I wanted.
We bought a metal shelf yesterday that we set up as two shorter shelves. I set these up parallel to the two taller shelves that line a wall. There is now a path between the two on the same side of the basement as my furnace.
I have most of my things in plastic storage bins of varying sizes and colors. I have written the contents on an index card and taped it on the bins.
As I loaded the shelves, I came across numerous items that can be sold at my garage sale this spring. These items are now in a pile. Do you want to know what I'm getting rid of?
The pile has a student desk, gum ball machine, games, two children's sleeping bags, snow boots, paints, McDonald's Happy Meal toys, end table, torch lamp, outgrown children's toys, VCR movies, a microwave, and many of the old style camouflage uniforms of my husbands. Some of these may end up going on ebay.
I have found enough to trash to fill a large garbage bag, too.
So, now my basement has two zones...storage and play area for kids. For now, there is also a temporary garage sale zone.
Spring always inspires me to clean and declutter!! Anyone else working on a room makeover or decluttering?
