Still Making Progress

After questioning myself on whether it was wise or not to spend an 82 degree sunny day in my basement, I decided to go for it.

I enjoyed the weather to the extent that I kept running outside to hang laundry on the line. Love that smell!

And, I did take breaks. During those I sat comfortably in my breeze-way noticing that it too could use some work.

But mostly I spent the day moving cabinets, tables, chairs and lifting a door over my head.

I thought about waiting until I had that wall painted, but who knows when that will be.

I'm quite pleased with the over-all look of it.

The cabinets are mostly empty, so there will be room to grow.

I discovered while I was down there that I have ten picnic baskets. There is a possibility that I may paint a few of them white and store them on top of the door (the door that I lifted to the top of those cabinets).



Lighting has always been a problem for me (my eyes just aren't what they never were anymore).

I have a few ideas for that. Until yesterday, I would have had the PERFECT lamp to put in there, but I knocked it over and it broke to smithereens.

This is the opposite 'wall'.

Good use of the old living room/dining room curtains.
The wall to the right is just studs. THGGM plans to nail up some lattice for me so I can hang things in a not-so-permanent fashion.

I'm far from finished. But after nearly three years, it just feels SO GOOD to be making progress!
