I’m starting this year out with an ALMOST clean, ALMOST organized, new studio space. One of my Delightful Minions gifted me with an enormous architects’ flat file, 5 perfect shallow drawers in which to store beads & clay. I made it into a sort of workstation. I added one of those 9-cubicle units and fitted each cubicle with a plastic three-drawer unit (the kind sold for sorting scrapbook paper). Three parts-drawer cabinets on top of that. Four 5-drawer desktop units. One 10-drawer bead box. A rescued wall shelf. A whole bunch of spice bottles, mason jars, salt shakers, and plastic shoeboxes.
Basically, I have taken up one entire wall of our dining room as a studio. My computer/office area is also in this room, at the other end. And in the middle of the room is an actual dining area! We almost never eat in this room, as we’re blessed to have a giant kitchen, too, but if we WANTED to eat in the dining room, we actually COULD now.
I’ve got another hour or two worth of cleaning and organizing to do in here, plus labeling some of the drawers (I ran out of printer ink) but by this weekend, I should be able to start working in a GLORIOUS new space!
