Now that I've decided I'm not moving, it's time to re-evaluate my living space. It has been two years since I spent any time doing big decorating projects, and since I found the awesome couch that is one of the focal points of my living room. It has been two years of living in a space that isn't quite finished but, has become awkwardly lived in. Those boxes have got to go!
So, as I mentioned in a post from last week, I've begun searching for all the right things to fill my apartment with. And, I have the following issues to solve:
1) My desk is actually just a dining table and I still have a bunch of boxes in the corner of my living room
2) I don't have enough storage in my apartment
3) There is an awkward and unsightly exposed closet space next to an enclosed closet in my bedroom
4) My clothes are stowed in the storage drawers under my bed and in an open shelving unit in my bedroom
5) I have a LOT of books and despite my best efforts, continue to collect more
The first project I'm undertaking is replacing my "desk" with a desk and ridding my living room of storage boxes. Please bear witness to the before shot below...
Now, check out the almost after shots below. I got that awesome desk from CB2. And, the boxes have been replaced with plastic bins that I can see through and have been relocated to my garage space down the street. I still need to figure out the situation with the files (currently on the right side of the fireplace), the printer (on the floor to the right of the desk), the contents of the big green box (stationary and wrapping paper, mostly), and the binders. Billy bookshelves and a cute filing cabinet will hopefully do the trick.
It's getting there!
