I have a open cabinet that I keep all of my For Sale stuff in that I list on Vinted, plus some shelves of stuff I need to sort out. Being open, it attracted a lot of clutter and just looks.....bad.
In the Wintertime I spend a lot more time in my bedroom. Small, cosy, easy to keep warm. But modelling and painting behind my tiny PC desk ....not much fun.
So today a local lady put up a older Ikea Hemnes Secretary up for sale and that has the exact dimensions (ok, just a bit taller) as the open cabinet, so I jumped at the chance (and with me a lot of folks but fortunately I was first, maybe helped by the fact she only lives 4 minutes from me. When I picked it up it turned out to be exactly 90cm wide and that was a fewmm wide enough .....to not fit in the boot of my car. As her husband was busy watching the footie she offered to put in the back of her rather spacious husbands car which took 2 short trips to bring it over. Turned out she was autistic too and very chatty, and a councellor for folks with disabilities after accidents. What are the odds ey?
Anyway, lifted the thing upstairs, took a long break (it might be pine but my back ain't fine), dusted it, and started the process of putting my painting stuff in and seeing what else it needs to be a proper painting station. As I no longer will be needing my airbrush or all of that other smelly crap I've managed to cut down on a lot of painting stuff (mostly by literally throwing out stuff.....)
Now to sort out my method for putting up the old painting lamp I have, adding sockets in the back for power, getting everything wired up, and get the printer in gear to make me some paint holders for the Vallejo washes I use so much. I want to pick up some Ikea Skadis to mount on the inside of the doors as well. I gave Nikki one and it worked wonders for her hobby space.
1 step closer to peace in my head I guess?
