Rearranging Day

So I got the major shelf-moving, floor washing, dusting part of the room reorganization done today.

I decided to use the long bookcase (that I moved to my room from the livingroom) for my nicer books -- my collection of books about Britain, and fashion, and Regency history, and other writing research books. There's room on the ends to put the big-pretty books flat, and then the smallers in the middle. I haven't finished it yet. Takin' my time.


 

I'm glad, in the end, that I didn't have to move any of my fiction shelves, because I perfectly arranged them a year or two ago. They need to be straightened, but they're by subject and author, and all fit into one wall-corner on matching book cases.

What really needs doing is a reorg of the non-fiction, cause I didn't do that last time. If I were the New Agey type, I'd say I haven't gotten a job in teaching yet because my developing areas books are all dusty and toppling over and uncared for.



I'm going to hang (read "staple gun") up curtains to cover the recess where the laundry machines are kept.

I've got a new desk formation--it's not cute, but it's in a U shape, so will be very functional and cozy. Haley already likes it.


Only thing I'm unhappy with is the bed placement... maybe I'll see if it can fit in a different direction.

Besides that, tomorrow is the kitchen, and put sofa together.

I've followed my usual procedure of piling crap on the bed, so it has to be put away before one can go to sleep. Hey--there's a little Minion in there! It's like a Waldo book.
