The awesome thing about building new is that you can think through all the things you want (extra electrical plugs?? water??) and put those in during the build. I am finding that limiting the amount of wall storage helps keep the space feeling open - too many high shelves and I start feeling claustrophobic! Good luck on coming up with a space that works for you!Francesca Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920874381365947474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-51051682743856028872014-05-21T18:22:27.248-04:002014-05-21T18:22:27.248-04:00Hahaha!

We are supposed to be adding an addition which will give me new studio space, though not large. That will be a treat if the contractor ever gets moving on it.

Keep the stuff you use most often close at hand, preferably in open containers or drawers so you don't have to do a lot of work to get to them. If you have open shelves, keep things neat and easy to see by collecting those bits and bobs in Mason jars - you can get them in bulk very inexpensively, and I love how they look grouped together on a shelf. If they aren't your thing, try baskets with lids and use them to collect plastic organizers with similar items - it will help you to keep things organized if you keep like things together. The baskets keep things looking nice, but you can use inexpensive food storage containers inside them, in whatever shape and size suits your needs. Finally, don't forget the space underneath tables and high up on top of shelf units - those are great places to store things you don't need to get to every day.Francesca Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920874381365947474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-81097036259575767772014-05-20T23:07:31.215-04:002014-05-20T23:07:31.215-04:00LOL!

I think the purging idea is what it is going to take. Maybe storing those things that I just can't turn loose of in another part of the house? My biggest problem is the recycle stuff that I keep. Any ideas on that? I collect metal pieces to use in jewelry; copper, brass, aluminum. anything really that I can find I save to use in bracelets and pendants.Maire of Thistledownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04485576055107782389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-18927185849248864742014-05-20T17:04:37.316-04:002014-05-20T17:04:37.316-04:00A maid would make my space easier to work in ;) G...A maid would make my space easier to work in ;) Great job.
