Our Neatly Arranged Tool Storage in the Basement

Last month, I introduced you to a room in our house that you might not have seen before: the storage room in our basement.

This room is fantastic to have (who doesn't appreciate extra storage space?), but it does have a slightly eerie vibe since our house is a century old! While it's been great to have this additional area, we definitely weren't maximizing its potential. As I mentioned in my spring cleaning post, we had the junk removal team take away the unstable wooden table and promised to find a fitting replacement with plenty of storage.

I have to confess that I didn’t contribute to this project at all. Finn took the lead on this one. He discovered this fantastic storage bench that fits the space perfectly, built it, and then organized all our tools.

This piece is fantastic because it offers plenty of hidden storage. Organizing tools can be tricky since they come in different sizes, so having a mix of drawers and a large cabinet turned out to be the ideal solution for all our items. The workbench is also on wheels, making it convenient for a garage setup if you want to move it to the center of the room for using a table saw or as a work table. We’ve decided to keep ours in this spot, so we just locked the wheels in place.
