A client of mine recently asked me to organize her basement workspace in the most affordable way possible. Obviously music to my ears. Her basement had basically turned into a “catch all” for the house and while she does have plans to finish it properly in the future (when budgets permit) she needed a solution for the short term. We decided to create an atelier art studio in her unfinished basement and here’s how we did it.
Okay here is a photo of the before (it has nightmare vibes, definitely not what she was going for). This work bench was here when she moved and the previous homeowner left a bunch of tools and knick knacks behind. Our plan was to pull out the workbench so she could work on either side of it, paint the cabinetry and just organize things. We grouped liked things together and got boxes for paint, electrical, small hand tools, adhesive etc. Scroll down to the see the after.

In the end my client was super happy with her Atelier Art Studio in her unfinished basement, everything now has a spot and we were able to do it under $300 (win win).
