Monet and Me

are still busy organizing things in the studio. Not only to tidy the room, but to make it more functional. I keep forgetting to take before pictures. To be honest, I'd be embarrassed to show you what a disgrace this room is.

Anyway, the bulletin board which houses large art paper was a jumble as well as the items on the drying rack, but not any more.

The trinkets in this box used to live on the windowsill. That was fine until there were so many trinkets if I wanted to open the window, I had to remove them all.

So I began searching for printers trays. Many of them were too big or more than I wanted to pay.

My search took me to Michael's. There was a sale going on so when I found this Ink shadow shelf, I had to have it. I didn't really want it sitting on a table, but it's a lot heavier than I expected to be and not worth the time or effort to see if some hanging appliance could be attached to the back and then hung on the wall. It fits nicely on the taboret so it will live there. 

I bought two shadow box frames, but all the other trinkets fit inside one. The frame has a nice glass cover to keep out the dust, but a very flimsy saw-tooth hanger. Again, right now, not worth the time and effort to rig something sturdier. The shadowbox also fits on the taboret.
