Tackle it Tuesday: The Basement Storage Room
March 25, 2008
As I noted in the Nursery project kick-off post, before I can clear out the art/computer room to make room for the nursery, we have to clear all the boxes out of the basement storage room so we can turn that room in to the new art room. So that mammoth project is today’s Tackle!
Here’s what the basement storage room looked like before we started:
Actually, what you’re not seeing in this photo is the load of boxes and stuff that my husband had already cleared out. I staggered out of bed at 7:30 am only to realize he had been up and working for a couple of hours already!Here’s what the basement storage room looks like now.
It’s not quite finished, but we’ve made a huge dent in the project. We’ll keep working on it this week so that by next weekend we can clear out the nursery, just in time to get started on some of the great projects Shauntelle has dreamed up!

So often one tackle creates another one. or two. or three.
Lookin’ good so far!

You’re not kidding! But I keep holding onto the anticipation of how good it will feel to walk into that room and see it nice and clean and organized.

That is a big job and looks like you guys have a great start on it. Each step gets you closer to cleaned up and organized.

I can tell there was a lot of really hard work in that project. Great Job!

Hi Tricia,
Congrats on your pregnancy. I stumbled upon your blog and wanted to quickly introduce ourselves. Check out http://www.projectnursery.com. We’ll follow your blog and please share with us your end result with both the playroom and nursery. It would be great to feature it on Project Nursery. Hopefully we can also provide you with inspiration along the way!
All the best,
Melisa

You’re right Robin - there was a lot of heavy lifting involved in that basement. This is one of those times when I’m glad to be 8 months pregnant and not allowed to carry heavy boxes!

Melisa,
I checked out your site and sent it along to Shauntelle for inspiration. We’ll gladly send you photos of the finished project for your Project of the Week feature.

[...] such a spur-of-the moment Tackle, I don’t even have before pictures (although if you saw my Basement Storage Room Tackle, you’ll get a pretty good feel for what the laundry room looked like….). Here’s [...]

Cool! Your photos remind me of the television program Clean Sweep — only this is a real-life example for those of us who don’t have a television crew of people to help us out!
