Day 4: 29 day Basement Organization Challenge

Today was mostly spent doing the obvious: or as Aby Garvey of Organizing 101 likes to say, I spent the day picking off the low hanging fruit. Most satisfying it was, too.
.
First, I took the time to find a nail and bang it into the wall so I could hang the curtain rod and put up my curtains.
.

.
Ta Da!

.
I wasn't just waiting on a nail, though. I had to try these out in the bright! shiny! white! bathroom first.
.

.
I love these curtains, but when my hand hit them for the upteenth time while trying to get at the toilet paper, I had to admit defeat: they were just too big for this spot.
.
They are cheery, here, though, aren't they?
.
(Please don't mind the mid-laundry day mess.)
.
I actually started clearing this bench yesterday.
.

.
I had to clear out some old coil bound work books to find some room on the shelves behind the sheet curtains to the left: so my daughter and I worked out the coils last night while watching TV to get the pages ready for recycling.
.
Ta da two!
.

.
Remember this mess?
.

.
Well, I unearthed the "home gym" buried beneath. I really don't know if we're going to get much for it at all. I've a mind to let it go for free.

Ta da three!

But then, I didn't pay for it.
It gets a bit tougher, now, but I'm feeling good.
