I'm the world's most disorganized person. I'm not proud of it, but it's true.Recently, in an attempt to get me off of the floor (I was taking up the whole living room floor-- yeah, it was a problem) and back into the corner where I belong, we installed marvelous shelves to display my beads!
They're practical and decorative! I love that I can see everything. It's easier to pick and choose what I want to pull down for a project. I also love the apothecary look of it. Yes, someone asked if there was eye of newt on the wall. I loved it!
The table is another matter entirely. It's not that I don't try. I'm just not very successful. Isn't there some adage about a disorganized home being a product of a disorganized mind? If there isn't there should be.
I hope it will come together eventually. Maybe then I can move to the table with my laptop, which is, as I type this, not on my lap at all. It's on the living room floor.
At least you can find your beads. I am still not sure where all of mine are since the move.
ReplyDeleteSarah, your table looks oddly, comfortably familiar :)
ReplyDeleteYay! I can find my beads and I'm in good company:)
ReplyDeleteMarilyn, they'll turn up, hopefully just when you need them.
Sarah, I am very, very impressed with your new storage solution. And as far as the table, just think of a disorganized mind being a sign of a creative mind (at least that's what I tell myself...:-) )
ReplyDeleteWow Sarah - I saw your first photo and thought how neat you are ... and then I saw your second photo and felt SO much better :D
ReplyDeleteTable? Who works on a table?!? To me, that's organized. My table is merely a horizontal surface to hold things that haven't found their permanent homes.
ReplyDeleteIt never would have occurred to me to put my beads in jars like that, but it's really a pretty display. It must be nice to be able to see them all so easily.
:-)
See-- isn't it lovely? When that storage solution thing ran on BeadingDaily I was pained at heart.
ReplyDeleteNow I know that it's not just me!
The jars of beads look like art all by themselves. That's a great solution. You should collect odd shaped jars just for the beads.
ReplyDeleteI do have few odd ones, but they're out numbered by the practical ones . . . for now that is:)
ReplyDeleteThe shelves are a great idea. I have mine in plastic bins sorted by color and I always have to dig through the pile to find the colors I want. You can actually see your colors.
ReplyDeleteI *love* them and would so recommend the idea to any and every beader who isn't thrilled with their current storage.
