Part 2 of creating a new look by changing colors and decluttering.....God's remedy

Hello Sweet Friends,

Hope this finds you somewhere cool....

in the pool, at the beach, inside with

the A/C cranked down to the coolest

level, lol, at the mall, drinking a

 smoothie / lemonaide, or anywhere

you can cool off, if it is as hot 

where you are, as it is here!

Today I am sharing part 2 of the

 changes to our computer room/

office, from now on think I am just 

gonna start calling it our office,

 must easier and less typing.  lol

Actually it is a computer, office 

and craftroom.  So maybe I 

should call it our COC room. lol

I left off last week (Part1) with 

decluttering under the futon,

You can click here if you want

to see it.....

So just gonna pick up there...

 with the next steps as I remember

them.

My next thought was I needed to

 order a paper tray rather than have

 all these boxes stacked up.

 (see below)

Before

So I ordered a metal clean lined

paper tray since it had no slots or dust

 collectors on it, and being metal rather 

than plastic figured it had less chance

of breaking and they were about the

 same price as the plastic ones, and I 

could also spray paint it in the future

 if I wanted.

 When I shop for things for my home

 I always look for versatility cause as

 you know if you have been visiting

 me long, that I like to change things

 up fairly often........if I can come 

up a way to do it........lol

I will be praying about that a lot

more now.......(that's a lil secret

from Part 1)

After

Doesn't it look so much neater!

Love it......and I never have to

move anything to get to what 

I want...........

I also ordered a nice wire basket at

 the same time to house my scrap-

booking embellishments, since the

 basket they were in, was pretty much

 falling apart. Both items came from

Wally World aka Walmart.  lol

My other basket was only about 3"

high and you could see everything,

the new basket is 71/2" tall, so it

pretty much hides everything when

you aren't looking into it like this....

creating a much cleaner look.

The next step was to put the white skirt

 that I had purchased 4 years ago, on

my craft table.  Was a tad disappointed

with it at first, because it was pretty
wrinkled and looked more like light
 gray than white due to the thin fabric,
 but steamed the wrinkles

out.....and it looked much better
but still not thrilled with it, but
it will do for now.

and had already put my stash of 
office supplies underneath but
added a few more that came
from under the futon or top of
the table.

Now it was time to figure out a good 
place to put this cute organizer my
 daughter and Son-in-love got me
 for Mother's Day.
At the end of my craft table turned
out to be the best spot.

You can see the basket in the left
hand corner.  Also these pics make
the table look pretty short but it 
really isn't....it is 66" long.

Here it is a bit more cleaned up,

but still not completely happy

with it, but that will change.

Next I decided to take some of 
the things that were on the table
and put them in our CD tower.

They are actually souveneirs
from France when we were
there 45 + years ago and the
2 of the french plaques I had
taken off the walls by the
windows. They actually show

up better than this pic makes
it look, but I have put some
white paper as a background
 behind everything to see if I 
would want to paint the back
drop, but didn't really like it.
I sort of like the drama and
the understated look better.
So just left it alone.

Think I am gonna stop here
for today,  so there will be
part 3 and probably a part
4 as well......will see next
week.


Really do wish I had taken all 
the before and after pics cause
 you then you could really tell
 more about the transformation
of the room. But oh well.....lol

Thanks for stopping by to see me.


See you on Thursday and have
a really super duper week!


Love, Hugs and
Creative Blessings,
Nellie
