What is your question? How can I direct you? I use shelving with plastic tubs for my basement storage.
is your basement finished or unfinished? In my unfinished basements plastic storage bins are a must. I like the clear kind so I can see what's there. I also have cement brick and board shelving. The concrete blocks that have the 2 holes support the shelves, for smaller item, larger the board goes on top. Finished basement I picked up a set of cabnits from a restore...habitats for humanity.
We use the upper cabinets, I assume were in the house before they put in new ones, that they put up in the garage all they time. Right now I am trying to figure out how to use the vanity we replaced in our bathroom last winter, in the basement somewhere. I agree that getting things from restore, or salvation army and repurpose for storage. It is amazing what you can use. A beat up chest of drawers repainted, can store linens, picture frames, craft supplies like papers and fabric. We got a couple of those cabinets you can put on the wall above a toilet and put them up on the garage wall to store smaller items like drill bits, boxes of bolts and screws, small tools, etc. We got them for nothing when a neighbors daughter and son-in-law were cleaning up the house for sale.
we have a full basement that has the old furnace (1905) a huge chimney, and sort of divisions of space. My husbands work area is whatever he wishes it to be depending on what his interest of the moment is: sculpture, printing (with full size press) air plane model making, boat model making, and right now clock repair. He changes it as he needs to. For my space I have an old closet/cupboard thing we found. I also made shelves out of hollow core doors, and out of wood slats. The latter is what I keep my plastic (big) bins of fabric; whatever else I am interested in. We also have a store room that if it were on the first floor would be a pantry. Built in shelves, wood beams to hang things from, empty space I can fill right up! We have a cement floor and fieldstone foundation.
What do you want to put there, or do there? EJL
