I’ve got my new desk, and chair, and the computer room has a futon (in white) now too. We had to completely re-arrange it to get the futon we wanted in there, but I like it. Totally not as cramped as I was worried about (pictures soon!).
Now, because it is a fairly small room for 2 desks and a full-size couch (oh yeah, and a bookcase), and I have all sorts of bits and pieces of crafty goodness I want to keep in there… I need shelves. Shelves on the wall. I want it to be an interesting and useful arrangement of shelves. I’m thinking a combination of things from Ikea, and I want to get my choice written down in a list. Now, my desk is white with glass, the couch is white, the boything’s desk is mostly white. I’m thinking of continuing the white/glass theme. Especially as it is a small room, with just one window, I think it needs to be light. Any of the choices below I’d get in white, if that wasn’t possible, I’d paint it.
STRIPA – a little ledge shelf. Great for framed photos to lean on. I like that look.
LJUSDAL - a glass shelf. Very pretty, I would like it but…. I’m worried about breakage. I’ll have to figure out exactly what I’d be putting on it before I’d buy.
BJARNUM/JARPEN – white shelf, silver brackets. Clean, simple, I love the way the ends of the shelf are covered.
FORHOJA – shelf unit with glass drawers! So cool, I’m not sure what I’d put in, or if it would even work. The wood would need to be painted.
TJUSIG – length of 5 hooks. Could be neat, I’m trying to think about what else I could hang, apart from scissors… It’d certainly keep scissors handy! I could hang a small WIP bag I suppose…. I picture this (and STRIPA) as being the thing closest to the desk, height-wise. That way, stickey-out shelves will not be in the way. I think.
That list is the basis of what will be my wonderful wall organization plan. While still leaving room for boything’s posters.
Whatever I end up doing will be some combination of those 5 parts.
Above the couch is also a good shelf space too… Maybe a STIPA for the framed X-men poster?
