mom2agang Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 The other day I was fed up!!!!!! My basement had become the land of NO return. So we are tackeling it. (on wednesday but Thursday and Friday I wasn't home) today I am painting it. Even the floor. My laundry is down there and I hate going down there! So I want to have it nice and organized too. Does anyone have good organizing tips? We Use it for storage (@the moment everything is in a giant pile we dig through.) I also store all our clothes down there. I would like to have it a nice room like my livingroom. Not a make sure the basement door is shut when someone knocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdrumm4448 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I am in the process of doing the same thing. Half of my basement is painted (nesting urge 5 years ago!) and I used paint for floors and it has held up great. I am thinking about painting the other side (the painted side is the kids' playroom). The "other side" is just storage. I just had a garage sale so I kept pulling things out. I did notice a slight mold or mildew on some things, so I recommend getting a dehumidifier. We had one and it broke, but will be getting another. Anyway, I had a carpenter build me shelves on that side of the basement and I store everything in sterlite containers. That way the bugs don't get into as much. And by bugs I mean spider. I label the outside of the containers so I know what's in them. I am also working on my garage and am buying a huge commercial shelving unit from Sam's. I can't find it on their website, but it's $139 in the store. Maybe it would work for your basement.
