I'm a big fan of their work, now! We visited a couple of Frank Lloyd Wright places in Ohio. Same deal with the wood, although not as opulent. Just mind-blowing 'feel good' vibes, IMO. If I lived in a place like that I would have a shit eating grin from dawn to dusk. It's artwork, plain and simple.

Entrance from 2nd bedroom to the attic. The full-lite door adds natural light into the bedroom. This is a NW exposure so no need for darkening window treatments.

"Her" finished attic. A small clothes rack (not in picture) is the "closet" for the bedroom.

To those who freak out at the dreaded sight of plastic bins, let's see what you use.

I use plastic bins. Metal tool boxes. Plastic tool boxes. Fabric tool bags. Cardboard boxes. And of course the ever present 5 gallon buckets.

I've got five Craftsman tool boxes similar to my new 41" base cabinet in the picture.

One pair, 27" base, was a wedding gift from my siblings. Needs a good cleaning. The other pair, another 41" base, is packed full. I have yet to figure out how best to reorganize now that I have the adjacent clean room.

Buckets are good for organizing stuff to be recycled, or brought to the Re-Store. I have cardboard boxes for spare parts to my cars and similar, project specific items. For stuff that I go to often, clear plastic is the way to go.

My wife uses plastic bins for many different applications. She uses large ones to store feed to keep the mice out, she uses medium size clear ones to hold crafting supplies, and I use small, recycled ones out in my shop to hold miscellaneous hardware.

The spelling and grammar are much too good to be that of Large Slob.



Also, you forgot to add one of these to the end. smh lol

I've been using clear tupperware bins for storage for about 35 years now. I still have ones from 1990 with camping gear in them, etc. Still watertight, still dirt-proof, still effective. I can load and unload my truck for a trip in less than 5 minutes. To me, they work very well.

**** the naysayers, I say.
