finished up the project in the garage Wednesday evening…

I spent some time earlier in the day, moving as many boards as I could out of the way so the table was usable for sawing, lol…

it was rather chilly out there, but we persevered and finished the new shelves…

then we spent time organizing all the shelves along that wall…

in the end it looks very tidy… wonder how long it will stay that way…

on a roll, “we” then moved a few items from the garage and all of the lawn furniture into the shed…

the garden will look much nicer over the winter without all the furniture covered in a big tarp on the back deck…

well, what a day, phew… it was chilly, overcast, and windy…

spent the morning in the garage moving bits and pieces out into the driveway to make room for an empty table to work on…

then my housemate met up with his grandfather to go and pick up lumber for the new shelves planned for the basement and the garage…

once he returned home, we moved more things and then updated a shelf beside the door for my gardening gloves and tools…

it is stronger, looks amazing, and now each tool is much more accessible underneath;-)…

we worked on the basement shelves, his brother arrived, and they finished them…

they ended up looking excellent and adding more useful space for organizing our stuff, lol…

they continued to work in the garage to redo a section of shelves and add counter space…

I didn’t quite get a picture of the finished product, before we moved all the bits and pieces back into the garage for the night…

it is going to be so organized that I might not be able to find anything 🤪…

well, I pulled out those big girl pants and installed two glass shelves in the bedroom…

both shelves had been broken during cleaning over the last few years but I had one available to replace the first one…

after the second one broke, the cleaning company was able to find some that were similar, but they used different hardware than what was on the wall…

the shelves have been sitting in the box they arrived in for quite a few weeks, but today I brought out my screwdriver and the drill and went at it…

took awhile because I had trouble with getting just the right screw head for the screwdriver…

but I persevered and did it and they look good;-)…

I am very pleased because the bedroom has been looking untidy, which makes me a bit crazy, and I have spent a lot of time in it over the last week, with another one to go…

not too long ago I saw a cool use of a shower caddy…

it had been tucked in a corner of a room and had puck lights under the shelves to provide light for each of the plants…

I’d been looking online but hadn’t yet ordered one… here’s the spot where it will go…

today I got a shelf from Home Depot and we made a few adjustments as we put it together;-)…

ended up leaving the top portion of the pipe off and using some cord holders and zip ties to attach the pipe to the wall…

I decided not to use any additional lights as the spot this is set in gets a lot of light…

I am pleased with how it came out… and may have to get a few more plants, lol…

had a bit of fun tidying up the corner cupboard…

had to get out the step stool to reach the top shelf…

didn’t take too long and reminded me of how much tea I have up there, yikes…

now it is organized nicely, with the items I use least located on the top shelf…

happy that I got one of my little projects completed;-)..

filled nine boxes with books a few days ago…

the computer room looks like a bomb went off in it, so I am rather pleased to have started the cleanup process…

happily, it was easy to pack them up… I spent many years collecting books on religion, feminism and spirituality… now seems like a good time to pass them along to someone else…

I also gathered many books on children and worship…

planning to drop them off at the Fire Station in the next while…

put aside a few that covered Celtic writings…

once I find a few more empty boxes I will continue with the decluttering;-)…

looking forward to having shelves with space on them, not crammed with books I no longer read…

a few days ago I spent some time taking pictures of all the pottery on the shelves…

mainly I took them so I would remember where to put things back because I was afraid I wouldn’t put them in the right place…

it looks lovely and it would be nice to keep it that way, lol…

I remember the lovely afternoon we spent organizing the pieces… I had anticipated that we would be putting much of the collection into boxes, but not one piece went into a box, lol…
