The beginnings of the poorly instructionalized, overpriced, boringly colored shelf. White was chosen because it's the easiest color to paint over at a later date. Ha ha. Thankfully the hatchet you see pictured was not neccesary, but at this point I still wasn't sure whether the end result would be a bookcase or a bonfire.
About here the hope began to dawn. All the contents of my dorm floor were shoved against the wall and it was still a very tight squeeze. You may have doubted my intelligence after reading the toilet paper post, but this one should give you hope again. I did indeed put this entire beast together by myself. With minimal reference to the destructions.
Here you can see I did eventually have victory. Those bins that fit the spaces hold clothes excellently and I no longer have to shove them in my closet. My ceramics/dishes collection is visible in the upper right, with plenty of room to be expanded. Working three shifts a week is growing it rapidly. What's really nice is that now I have space to have more than the bare neccesities in my room, without making it look crowded. The two canisters on top are ceramic also, one holds my tea collection (which you are welcome to contribute to mom!) and the smaller one holds sweeteners, honey packets and juice drinks. All my textbooks are in the upper left and my coffee has its own shelf right below them. Ha ha.
It felt soooo good to have everything organized again. Dad, I've been holding out on your for pictures of my room for a long time, but it's finally clean today so I felt motivated to take pictures.
This is the view from the door. Slightly unmade bed, and coffee maker strategically within reach. =)
Here's the view from being backed up between the bathroom door and the coffee maker. I'm currently sitting were you see facebook opened here. Haha. The green pencil can you see to the left of my laptop is also a creation of the ceramics lab..Oh, and that's a snowflake stuck to the side of my desk.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Finally you've given me a picture to help me "see" where you are. Nice job building the shelf. I too love having space to put stuff away. Thank you for the photo journal.
ReplyDeleteHaha. No problem on the much overdue visual mom...isn't this much better than my old room?
