My Workdesk

This is my new shelving unit.  Well, actually it's not really a shelving until, more like a drawer unit.  I built it meself.
But first I built it backwards.  The drawers would NOT go in.  I realized I had to take the whole stoopid thing apart and build it again.  PROPERLY.  So I did.
(Please ignore the overflowing drawer at the very bottom.  I'm dealing with that.)
Voila.
And THIS
is how my paper is now organized.
THIS

is another VERY organized corner of my studio.
And THIS, my friends

is my actual workdesk.  Are you impressed?
Hah!  I am.
That's the last time you'll see it this clean.
As sure as the sun will rise in the morning and set at night.
The LAST time.
Be sure to go see lots more desks, probably much more active ones here.

  5. Hello Electra, I'm well impressed - you are very organised today. The drawers are fab and I had a chuckle when you described how you built it only to have to build it again. Thanks for sharing. Elizabeth x #79

  25. Hi y'all. In response to Kim, I got this at good ol' IKEA. It's PERFECT for stamps, with these shallow little drawers. Now I don't have to dig through everything to find the one I want.
