It seems as if I spend more time cleaning and organizing the Mom Cave, then be creative. Recently, I have spent many an hour trying to get comfortable in my own little Happy Place. I bought a storage unit and didn't know what I was going to do with it, but I knew it would eventually work for me.Everything always seems to be scattered, so I've been trying to get everything grouped together. This particular storage unit worked perfectly for my Sizzix products.There are two ribbon rods on the side. Though that doesn't pertain to Sizzix, it is nice to have ribbon out where I can see it. I also added a Stampin Up vinyl item and it really added to the comfort level.
The next task was to get rid of some over-sized furniture. The first piece to go was the unit I used for paper storage. I was nervous, because finding the perfect storage is always an issue for me. I can never find exactly what I'm looking for. Another piece of furniture that didn't have a purpose was a Keepsake Chest left over from my days as a Once Upon a Family rep. I became a rep just to get the chest at a discounted price. Well, after years of sitting empty, I found the hanging folders fit perfectly inside the chest! Now, not only do I have paper storage, I have pretty storage!
And last but not least, I moved my Grandmother's furniture into the Mom Cave. I decided to use the dressing table as a desk and the dresser makes for perfect storage. The desk/dressing table is one of the items which Grandma had painted many times through the years. I had it professionally stripped, but I finished it. Next, I have to tackle the mirror, but that's a project for another day.
I am still looking for the perfect marker storage. I also need to find a place & purpose for two printer trays. I'll just have to keep working on those quests.
