Well, thanks to the generous as well as terrific people at true Value, we now have a absolutely dry as well as totally practical basement to utilize for storage galore (read about exactly how we prepped as well as waterproofed the former bug graveyard right here as well as here). as well as thanks to a bit road trip to Ikea this weekend, we came house armed with quite much every product that we organized to snag in this fundamental mood board of sorts that we shared last week:

Expedit shelf (included in the overall Expedit Workstation) -$120

Torsby table (already owned, so it’s free!)

A woven basket or two – $17 each

Two Aneboda wardrobes – $100 a pop

A few white storage boxes – $12 for two

And a few eco-friendly storage boxes to keep things fascinating – $12 for two

Expedit desk (included in the Expedit Workstation) accounted for above

And the space is truly coming together. particularly thanks to the floor plan we brainstormed ahead of time to see which products would work where (and which ones would supply the most function without breaking the bank):

Of program we still have a great deal a lot more jobs to handle (creating a new light fixture, rewrapping the water heater, building a screen to hide the awful rewrapped water heater, taking care of the windows, DIYing a dehumidifier, etc). however here’s what the basement appears like now thanks to the addition of two Ikea Aneboda Wardrobes together with an Expedit Workstation as well as a few low-cost accessories (like some artificial plants for a bit of greenery as well as these storage boxes for even a lot more concealed stashing space). Not to mention the Torsby table as well as a few additional wooden chairs that we already owned. We likewise brought down our bikes as planned, however have even a lot more in store when it pertains to sprucing up that back wall so stay tuned…

Oh as well as we still have to paint the built-in cupboard below, so don’t mind the dingy look of it now…

Not bad, eh? just to freshen your memory, the space appeared like this about a month ago:

But thanks to around $350 worth of Ikea furniture (the Expedit Workstation even occurred to be on sale!) as well as around $400 worth of prepping supplies (thanks once again true Value!) we were able to take the basement from frightening cinder block dungeon to a waterproofed space that’s furniture ready.

Oh as well as we would show you the insides of those wardrobes however we still have a great deal of organizing to do (am I a overall nerd for feeling a bit bit giddy when I state that?). So next on the program is going back to true value to snag great deals of remarkable sealed plastic storage bins to stack tons of seasonal decor, sporting devices as well as other stuff that we’d rather hide behind closed doors. then it’s on to lighting, art as well as hiding that wart of a water heater. Fun, fun, fun.

And speaking of home warts, do you people have any type of awful eyesores (fuse boxes? propane tanks? carpet stains? damaged hardwoods? strange trap doors? awful outlets?) that you’ve effectively camouflaged? tell us all about it.

Psst- Here’s exactly how we hid our fuse box in the den, our exterior propane tank, as well as some quite gross plugs as well as outlets above our washer as well as dryer. Fingers crossed we can make that water heater vanish too…
