My new storage room

Our new home will need some improvements. The first on the list is creating a storage room that is functional in our unfinished basement. We will leave 25% with bare walls and floor. It will house the furnace and water heaters. It will have deep shelves to store holiday decorations. (We decorate for all holidays) And this little room. The food storage room. Brian finished the shelves just last week. It was good to unpack what we brought with us. It is a little light on the home canned stuff. I will get on that...

Don't the shelves look great?

When this quarter of the basement is framed in and all the shelves in place, it will serve as temporary  hold for everything else that has been stacked in the basement because it did not have a place any where else in the house.

Not only did our new home lack a storage room, it also lacks a sewing room!!!

At first that did not bother me. I don't need carpeting and paint to sew and craft. I did not realize how unfinished our basement is. No outlets. NONE. A big open dry space. (Did I mention that basements here are dry?) So, until the basement is finished, my things will be in boxes in storage.

Phase two will be the creation of a guest room sewing room, bath and rec. room.

I don't think I will feel moved in until all the boxes are emptied and put away.
