Here is the horror in my life: The Basement Office. Are you ready for this? Man, I can't believe I'm going to show this to you. Here it goes:
Isn't it terrifying? Always present on my to-do list is to clean out this space, re-organize it, and make it work for me. The shelves were put in by a previous owner. I will keep those, but I really want to rip that whole desk-top thing out and put in a more user-friendly work space.
I am hopeful these will soon be "before" photos, and not be the "as is" photos.
I have seen that show Clean House, where a family is literally drowning in clutter, and the TV people come in and make them sell everything in a yard sale and then redesign the space. Any time I've seen that show, I squirm a little bit, because I am fully aware those families live in California and don't have basements. If I didn't have a basement, I fear for what my living space would like.
I will also post these photos in Flickr with notes so I can identify all the clutter. I'm sure you're all fascinated! See you In Real Life!
