I was sitting here a week or two ago, looking up at my cube-shaped box-like book shelves, when it occurred to me that if I disassembled them, I could repurpose them into regular shelves and gain about 6 feet of shelf space for each one. I have 2 of them, so that would gain me 12 feet of space to put stuff. . Then, I walked around my whole place with a laser measuring tool, paper and pencil, and made some decisions about where I could put up more shelves. It totaled up to about 90 feet of shelf gain altogether. . As someone whos a bit of a hoarder, thats very welcome news to me, because as it stands right now, Im using a whole spare bedroom just for storage, and its pretty cluttered. This will get it out of there and up on shelves where I can get to it easily and clean out that room so that I can use it for something better than just storage. . So yesterday, with Gracies help, I got started. We took everything out of the cube shelf above my desk, took it down off the wall, took it apart, and put the shelves back up, gaining that 6 feet of shelf space. Then we put everything back up. Where it was all just packed into the cubes before and hard to find anything, now its all out where I can easily find it, and for the moment, its even sort of arranged. . In the process, I found stuff I hadnt seen or even remembered since I moved in more than a year and a half ago. Gracie had fun finding all the treasure, especially the stuff in my little lock box of old jewelry and keepsakes. . Today, Ill tackle the other cube shelves. . Right after I have another cup of coffee. . Or two... :)
