I cranked up the music, as well as the heat, and just got to it! If you’ve read my previous posts, you know I’m a collector. I don’t throw a whole lot away if I can think of a potential present or future use for any given item. The pile I accumulated in this space was no exception. And it takes time to weed out the good, the bad and the ugly. I’ll come across a greeting card or a quote that I’d saved, and it would take me back. I’d stop to reminisce, to ponder, to evaluate. I’d stop for a hot cup ‘o joe and a shortbread cookie. All good things take time!
But there is progress to report, quite a bit in fact. I started with my desktop, put my laptop in place and hooked up a new printer, wireless. the desk and chair were antiques I had purchased some years back at auction. The desk has a pull out drawer which is great for expanding my work space when needed. I found some cool red leather file organizers from one of my outings to Marshall’s, one of my favorite haunts. They’re perfect for my Anne Taintor folders, which I love.
Here’s some more detail…….a few personal effects, a picture of Dad from long ago, a cast iron bird. The two galvanized drawers worked perfect for post-its notes.
I put some artwork on the walls, writing/cutting implements in an old sectioned carry crate, and BINGO! one corner is complete… Now, I can actually sit at my desk, and FUNCTION! How sweet it is…
More to come…..
