I would like to turn the space into my sewing and fitness area, but am afraid it might be too damp even with a dehumidifier. Do you have problems with that? If so, how have you resolved it?Thank you again for your inspirational basement clutter story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-47430062324028601892012-02-16T00:06:54.099-05:002012-02-16T00:06:54.099-05:00I love this space!

We have an unfinished basement and I'm toying with the idea of placing a room down their for him. This post was very helpful aand motivating. Question. Do you have a furnace in your basement? Was it exposed? We do and it's smack in the middle of the room. Any solutions to this would be helpful.Smiddlemorehttp://www.alittlediddy.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-21621844689241583902010-01-11T14:48:59.450-05:002010-01-11T14:48:59.450-05:00You are my inspiration.

After being here a year, we had a media room, full bathroom, storage area and walled up our water heater and softener room. We now have a special basement we all love spending time in. My husband works from home so me and the three kids practically live down here, hence the need for the bathroom. We have a large playroom and I have a wonderful scrap room where I can work and still see the boys. So I can honestly say I LOVE MY BASEMENT!! Speaking of yours, I don't know if you've considered painting the walls or not. I didn't know they made concrete paint, but we have a walkout basement which means lots of exposed concrete outside. I painted ours and it's really nice. We can sit on our back deck and patio and not feel surrounded by grey concrete. Just a thought. I can send you photos if you're interested. Great job on the purge! I am in the midst of selling loads of stuff on Craig's List. It's wonderful. I make about $100 a week selling my old junk!! Happy Thursday to you!
