What Homeowners Do

Homeowners get really, really excited about basement storage. But do you blame me? Look at this shelving unit! I was looking at the IKEA wood shelving units because they were cheap and because they had an option for a wine rack, but then my dad offered to make me something. The materials were the same price as IKEA, but I ended up with more storage and exponentially better quality. (I could use those shelves as bunk beds if I had to!)

And I even got a wine rack: Dad surprised me with one that holds twenty-five bottles and takes up exactly half of one shelf. I blame exposure to the J. Peterman catalog at a young age, but I've always wanted to be the person who has the right wine on hand (including champagne). Now I can be that person--thanks, Dad!

(Somebody else gets excited about basement storage, too.)

Congratulations! I see some more canning and preserving in your future. I'm a bit jealous, I miss the joys of basement storage.

Who knew the J Peterman catalog could be so harmful to young minds!

(Excellent shelves, btw. Commendations to your dad!)
