It's finished.

I finished reorganizing my office.  Karin might appreciate the difference.  Where I knew before where everything was to within plus or minus 2" vertically and horizontally, I now know where it is to within plus or minus 1/2" horizontally and vertically.  Trust me, it's great.



Sharp eyes will note that while you see my computer components (including wireless keyboard and mouse), I also still have plenty of old-school tech: the IBM Selectric III, adding machine, fax, 3 land line phones....no wonder my kids say I'm a dinosaur.

And here's what was behind me as I took that photo: reorganized fabric!

And reorganized shoes!  And my photo printer.  Yes, this dinosaur has real photo albums, and printed photos, and all of that.

My office is 6'x9'.  The desk occupies 2 feet at one end of the room, and the file cabinets another foot or 2 at the other.  So, in order to keep my scholars at bay, I bought a wireless color laser printer, set it up on our home network, and the boys can print from their computer without invading my office.  It's a win.

I had most of this reorganization done before we lost Brutus, and for a week or so, every time I came in here to work, he came in here to work on his bone.  I miss the little dude.

I'm a dino, too. We have quite a collection of new and old working happily together.

I am sure you miss him, I do as well. The office look great. I must sort my material out and actually do some sewing! Hope you have a good week. Diane

I'm eagerly looking forward to the "after" shots. Sorry but the devil made me say that from Durango, CO :-)

No more Tower of Power? Still, Karin is most impressed, and extremely envious of all your cubbyholes.

I don't know if I'm jealous or envious. Heck I'm neither, Kudos to you and the family, Marjie. Your organized! (now if you "guys" could hop on down, I have 3 rooms of cookbooks strewn all over the place after deciding I just had to have another bookshelf. I'm attempting to put them in alphabetical order:)

Kudos! We need much reorganizing in the Woods too, but... not yet. Maybe in June?
