Organization. Poopieness.

OK, so this is just some of the disorganization that is my office/studio. Can I just say this is my before, and the next pic is my after? ;-)


All I have to say is; "Wow! I hope that someday I can get the office/craft room to look like this someday!" I know I can get a photo with an angle more like that, but not currently, because behind me taking my picture are the desks, filing cabinets, chairs and other garbage. The big tall thing against the wall was the previous owners attempt to add more shelving in the closet. It's bent, and I'm not sure how to get it up there, plus, as you can see in my photo, wire shelving isn't the best for here anyway... So I want this!



I came across this well organized studio from a swap friend's flickr page. It looks like it is about the same size as our office/craft room. We even have the door to the side of the closet like that. But also two doors on the wall to the left of it all. So I want to make that one door and section right next to the closet into a linen closet (flip the door around and seal a wall, so it opens into the hallway instead of the room.) Now I want these shelves in the main closest, and to remove the closets sliding-doors as well, in this same future project. It'll be so much more useful then!

I'm not trying to be copy-cat here, but when I saw this photo I thought, gee, it's like it's pulled out of my brain, what I want to do with this room! Over time. I know I want to paint the walls too, but the curtains in this room are a dark red and I'm not sure what to pair with that without it getting too dark, but I hate the white in practically every room. I know I could replace the curtains too, but I actually like these, and I don't want even more expense. First, though, I still need to get the paint up in the kitchen. I hate still seeing my fire damage. Cleaning while being someone with mobility issues sucks, and takes a REALLY long time.

Sorry if any of this sounds crabby. Siggy woke me up after only 4 hours of sleep. He wanted in the bedroom. When I came out and didn't let him in (so Kevin can sleep a few more hours before getting ready for work) he didn't want anything to do with me! That darn cat! So I'm sure I'll be sleeping mid morning yet again, I probably would have been back on track with sleep if it wasn't for him.

I think I might have picked up pink eye at the grocery store last night. As we were watching TV before bed my eye started acting all watery, itchy, and puffy... like allergy eyes, so I put in some allergy eye drops and it calmed down some, and then when I woke up my eye is all puffy and yucky. I don't quite know if it's just inflammation and red because of being tired and allergies, or if I picked up pink eye. I'll keep watching it, but I'm thinking it's the latter because my eyes have that achy feeling I remember from when I've had pink eye before. Hey, does anyone know how frequent you can have that anyway? It seemed like when I was a kid I'd get it EVERY single time I ever came in contact or close proximity to someone with it. Oh well... I guess since I'm up I should think about breakfast instead of crabby blogging. Hope everyone else is having a better morning than me.

Now, to save this post and use this photo as inspiration for getting this office into shape!
