I have some pails of wheat, rice, beans on dollies in a corner—that way I can roll out one stack to access the other one. L shaped storage space.
We put in floor to ceiling storage shelves along a 12 ft. wall. The other wall is 15 ft. of storage cabinets—the pails are in the corner where these meet.
In the middle of the room is a marcy 3 station weight lifting exercise machine. One wall is floor to ceiling mirror to use during exercise. The other wall is bookshelves with all sorts of books and a 4 foot space to another room—which used to be a ballet/aerobic area, but is now a nap area. All in the basement.
I had it organized, but it needs some additional work—need to double check seals/cans etc. and drag older stuff that may have been over looked to the front.
That sounds like a great set up!
Ballet aerobic area though? Was that the former people that lived there or were you into dance? Our basement came equipped with a hot tub. Inside the basement! Pretty weird location. It was where my kitchen is now. Hubby took all of the 70s cabinets and appliances and made a kitchen in the basement out of them. So I use it for canning Etc. Still hoping we can use the hot tub, maybe outside Thomas eventually.
I think a good topic would be storage areas, where do people store their food. When I was in Bakersfield with no basement, I had food stashed everywhere, and cabinets, under beds, backs of closets. I had to have a spreadsheet to remind myself where was lol.
