Making Progress | Clean Up This Office
Tags:
I've made some progress on my office mess over the last couple of days.
From reading the comments it sure sounds like lots of you can relate to the mess. It's a "work happens here" mess for sure.
Mostly I picked things up off the floor.
Put papers away in the trays and labeled them by color.
I cleaned off one of my bulletin boards and started hanging up products I'd like to use soon (many of these came from the piles on the floor) and putting other things away in the drawers and lockers. I'll do a bigger organization post soon to show you how I'm currently storing and organizing my supplies.
There's still more to do but I'm feeling good about the progress. And it totally makes me want to make stuff!
Here's to a great weekend!

Looking great Ali!!!! I just moved into a new house and my scrap room is the first one I'm finishing off. Clean rooms begins more creativity for me.
My hubs just bought me this wonderful French-inspired chair and I plan to build my room around it's muted colors!!! A huge change from my normal hot pink and black rooms from the past. Wish me luck!

Thanks for this post, Ali! I love how wonderful and down-to-earth you are.
By the way, I also love that little French sign on your desk, "My Little Castle." I wish I knew where to purchase one.

Go Ali, go. It's looking great. I was inspired to at least sort my paper! Whew, now I have a clean slate for all of the upcoming holiday projects that you'll probably inspire me to do! Thanks!

When you post your organizational post could you let us know which color families you use to organize your patterened paper? I currently organize by manufacturer/ line but that is not really inspiring me to try new color combos. I was thinking of organizing by color but I would like to know how you do it and what system works for you or any tips you might have! great progress with your room!

This room is so inspiring to me.
Huge window = Love
Huge room = More Love
Standing Work Table = True Love
I have a large standing work table in the garage , which I bought from a fabric store that was going out of business ....5 yrs ago ! Now it wont fit in the door of my house ! I cant get rid of it, I just need a bigger door on the house :)
Looking forward to your organization post, I think I scrap so I can organize ......love both equally :)

Hi Ali, I'm wondering, what are your "paper categories" besides the colours. Can't think of 21 different colours... ;) Thanks for sharing.

I was wondering the same. My guess is you have other categories besides colors? I added "numbers", "stripes", "letters", "ledgers", "Christmas", "Halloween", "Travel" to my categories and I have a few "brands" (like KI, Basic Grey and October Afternoon). But I would love to know the categories that you came up with. So like everybody else I am looking forward to your post about how you have your scrap booking supplies organized
