The basement make up: Part 1

This week I finally started to organize my basement. I couldn’t finish, it will take me several weeks. Here is some before and “during” the changes. I cannot call “before and after” since it’s still a huge mess!

I finally bought my sewing machine!! I’m so happy. It’s exactly the one I had back in Brazil and it’s just great and cute. Take a look:

My goals were open some space in my desk for the sewing machine and transform one of my monitors in a “tv” for the treadmill. The monitor works amazing and now I can watch Netflix and hear the voices and music even with the noise of the treadmill running.

So far I squeezed most of my art supplies in that wood crate but I couldn’t find a solution for my papers. I like the big crate to hide everything, I wish I had a cabinet with doors but that’s better than nothing. Look how was my office space before:

It was larger and brighter but my desk was taken with both monitors and notice so many supplies on the shelves. A bit overwhelming! Also my CPU was on the floor, what always bothered me. Anyways, the new solution might be a bit darker but so far I’m happy about having a monitor for the treadmill and having some space for my sewing machine. With time I’ll add some frames on the walls and hopefully things will look more happy.

So that’s it for today! Thanks for reading and I’ll keep posting.
