A small part of the reason I have had a hard time getting going on some projects (other than a busy couple of weeks at the pesky day job/bead budget source) was the ugly state of my desk. I am generally a neat person - because the clutter that grows and inhabits all horizontal surfaces in my house drives me batty - but clearly the real world had gotten the best of me. Something. Dramatic. Needed. To. Be. Done. Thankfully and for the small price of a cold beer my husband Greg stepped in to solve part of my problem - what to do with completed pieces - by hanging some awesome key hooks I bought at Target. As you can see Layla and I provided lots of support.
With my inventory of beady goodness up off of my desk and on the wall, I was ready to tackle the rest...
Not too bad, huh?
One super big help was this group of five two drawer organizers I bought on sale at the Container Store. They helped me to stash away wire, cord, chain and other doo dads (like the vintage buttons I HAD TO HAVE) so now I have more than 1 foot by 1 foot of space to work. I even started/finished a bunch of projects today and it still looks like this. Greg keeps coming into the office (we share) and says, "Wow, how clean!" and "Wow, it still looks great!" A subtle hint to keep it neat huh?
Congrats on the desk clean up. I worked on mine a bit over the weekend. Bead stash solutions gets me because I like to see what I have when I create. I ¡love! you magnetic containers. Where did you find such a large group of clear lidded tins (I assume you added the magnets yourself)?
