I have always had a love for crafting and creating. But in
the recent months, since starting these home projects, I have accumulated
considerably more craft supplies. And while it is necessary to have these
supplies on hand to complete projects, I don’t really have a dedicated “craft
space”. Therefore, I had to get creative about storage. And I found the prefect
space in the stairway to our basement.
To say this is not a pretty space would be an
understatement. This project was purely for the sake of getting supplies put
away and having a set home for these items. But, although it isn’t attractive,
I am still happy with the turnout. I love identifying spaces that are usable in
our cozy home. Plus, I found a way to do it on a very small budget!
Here is what I did…
Step 1: attached these wire wall hooks with the included
screws. I only got three, but I have space to add on if needed.
Step 2: hung a variety of different sized baskets. I moved
them around until I was satisfied with the placement.
Step 3: placed the items I wanted to organize in each
basket.
And I was done!
This project cost $11, and all items (except the small blue
bin from Walmart) were from Dollar Tree. Now, I could have gone crazy and spray
painted all the baskets to match, but the basement is primarily used for
storage and is not accessed by anyone other than myself and my husband. I am a
firm believer of doing what works for you!
Do you have an overflow of things that you just have no
place for? Maybe you can identify some “negative” space in your home and get
creative about storage. Let me know what you come up with! Thanks, and God
bless!
