forcing me to organize: a move
So, we’re moving. After two years in our much-loved apartment, we’re moving next month to a coach house on a friend’s property. We’re really excited – it’s going to be nice to have a little more privacy, no more parking lot dings on our poor car, AND (the best part) we’ll have our own garage. Why on earth, you may ask, am I excited about a garage? Two reasons: the house is slightly smaller than our current dwelling and we can store a bunch of stuff in the garage if need be (simplify! de-clutter!) AND (the best reason!) this garage is the perfect spot for a letterpress. We’re on the lookout for one, now that we have a spot to put it!
But the primary reason for this post is to discuss re-thinking our office. At the moment it’s an organizational nightmare. So, this move is going to force me to reorganize. That’s not a bad thing, because I love organizational supplies, and of course, I love the finished room.
This post on The Paper Pony made me jealous, I would love to find lockers similar to the ones she found. Need to do some flea market and garage sale hunting.

I really want to set up a large pin board to put up projects and inspirations. Perhaps we can cover it with some Amy Butler fabric?


Just bought Russel and Hazel’s collator, which will be perfect for keeping current files organized. I love the “out,” “in,” and “limbo” file folders from Bob’s Your Uncle. We also recently purchased the Desktop File from Russel and Hazel for bookkeeping stuff. Ikea is always a must for office stuff…thinking I’ll pick up some of these for magazine storage. The room is smaller than our current office, but it has vaulted ceilings, so maybe we can go “up” with Lack shelving from Ikea – I love the shelves we put in our studio.
