A Coat Closet in the Basement


One of the downsides to our 1920s house is that there is no coat closet on the first floor. And not a lot of closet space upstairs either. While the hooks I installed in the basement stairwell have been helpful, they don’t exactly provide a lot of storage. So when we were at Ikea we bought the shortest wardrobe they had that would fit under our low basement ceiling (and it just fits). While a wardrobe in the basement isn’t ideal, it’s better than nothing at all (which is what we had before!).

And now, after living here for 15 months, we finally we had a real place to store our coats!

  3. Before starting the remodeling of your basement, locate existing leaks and cracks. Any such seepage or fissure is evidence that the previous waterproofing measures done might be faulty or need repairs. https://basementremodelerschicagoil.com/
