First of all, let it be known that I detest disorganization. I can live in chaos, but not when it actually comes to where I live! The state of my dwelling is reflected in my mental state. If it is messy, I am frantic, stressed and irritable. If it is clean, I am organized, calm and usually content. For reasons unknown to myself, I have put off making a serious overhaul on some of the messiest areas of our apartment. Having finally cleared the giant movement-impeding storage box from our entryway, there is now room to store a few items from my 'studio corner', thus making room in that corner. Last week I resolved to whip this mess of a place into shape and so far I am already reaping the rewards. My computer used to sit at the foot of our bed (a murphy frame with a mattress, much like sleeping on the floor) and the printer a ways behind it. Needless to say, cords everywhere. I have so many crafting supplies that their proper storage seems nearly impossible, but I am determined. We can now walk through the hallway and the majority of the studio floor (bedroom/sitting room, etc), save for my side of the bed which is near the sliding glass doors. The following images show the majority of the 'damage', and as I progress in its clean-up I shall be posting the progress!
The beginning:
Supplies:
The Corner:
The computer sat just to the left of where I am standing to take the photo.
Needless to say, the paint color is a great start (especially if you could see what the original hideous beige color looked like) but the trick is going to be organizing on a super slim budget!
Is anyone else in the middle of a big overhaul project, or does anyone have any advice on refined organizing on a budget? DIY projects are always loved!
