I made a lot of little progress this week. The main thing was getting the storage locker in the basement. This allowed me to clear out an entire closet (two, if you count portions of the other two closets) and then to put other stuff away. The only moving boxes left are books - and those will have to wait for bookshelves, which may be a ways off.
The storage locker is 4x5x8. It's a metal bin, floor to ceiling, with a door that opens out. I assembled about half of my metal shelves; the other half are down there in a disassembled state. I've got it mostly organized - CDs here, hats there, sweaters and coats hanging from a pole. I left room for my bike. Since it's a folding bike, I just had to leave a little nook to collapse it into.
The result is that I have a much better sense of the spaces upstairs (in the apartment). The bedroom closet is large, but mostly on depth, making it kind of long-term storage since many things would get double-parked. The front closet is tall, and I'm not sure what I want in there. I have enough space for a dining table, but not a large on, and maybe no with a hutch. There are three candidates for "bookshelf" wall, but I'm not sure which will be best.
Finally, I'm just about at the end of my budget, so some furniture ideas I've had - a nightstand, side tables, bookshelf - may have to wait.
