Getting to a point in life where I can't stand clutter/disorganizatio or maybe I'm back where I started because when I was a child, I always kept my belongings very organizied.

Attacked the art/office and my bedroom and the studio porch. My goal with the bedroom was to get the boxes of unsold art out of the room. Success! I just have the 20X16" framed art in the bottom of the closet now. Feels much calmer when sleeping now...

The art/office has morphed so many times - think this now works the best...

here's a before a number of years ago when I had the closet doors across the rolling carts but then the front room held most of the supplies and framing materials...

here's today's view:

the paper file is great, artwork is on the top shelf and other places in this tiny room. I have sorted my "unfinished/in progress" work too...

Before - toward the windows that let in so much light...

this view was way before the remodel two years ago... now below is today's look

At some point I need to get the TV out or just get a small wall mounted one... Mostly I listen to Pandora as most of the TV offerings are junk.

Below - boxed in the corner - again about 5 years ago

and now today's version:

neater and calmer all the way around...

oh this was the art area in the dining room about 8 years ago...

and

and

wow... not sure how I was able to get anything done in that mess!

now just the studio porch to finish but that's for another day. now I have to work on art-o-mat blocks, entries for Emerald Downs, Weyerhaeuser PSSA exhibit and Avanti's 30X30....

keep arting,
