WOYWW 177 - new desk/tidy room!

Hmmm it's not exactly what's on my work desk today that's interesting, it's the blooming new desk and fab workspace I now have, that's super exciting!

Okay I confess I am a bit excited here, but if you pop to yesterday's post HERE to see pics of what my craft/office room looked like before you'll understand.

Right there's a few photos to share of my new tidy space so I'll keep it simple -

Starting behind the door (then moving in an anti clockwise direction) - bookcases now neat & tidy and full of  inks and supplies and neatly stored paper, card and folders containing stamps, oh and a few books too. I do need my dictionaries when writing!


Love that I can now have my jars of flowers on display as well as all my inks.


Okay next we move round to my writing area, where all my Bristol Rovers articles are produced -


Then the NEW desk - 


It is the same height and width as my other one so I now have almost wall to wall workspace. As you can see I've moved my Cuttlebug on to it and my pens. The white drawer tower holds my ribbons. The Ottlite and bling bin are where the 2 desks meet.

So we then look across the old desk to the now tidy shelves and windowsill -


Looks a bit dark here cos of the misty day, but it's light in real life as you'll see in the next photo!

And finally my small bookcase that was rammed full and piled high before - 


Now all neat and tidy and it even has some space on the top, a rare thing in a craft room.  Many of the baskets and boxes that were on the window sill are now tucked away in here. 

One thing that isn't clear as such is the floor space I now have, and the ease I can now move around the room in my chair.

But it's all thanks to the troops, mum and dad, and Keagan, of course!

Right quick, pop over to Julia's HERE to link up if you haven't already and see many other desks, though I don't think many will be as tidy as mine! Ha ha.

Take care Zo xx

PS - will try to get to as many as you as possible today, but after that, well I'll say sorry now, because I have Hydrotherapy tomorrow so will be resting up for a few days afterwards and won't be doing much sitting at my puter.

  4. Hi Zo, the room looks great - I love it when you have a re-organisation and the space works better - I'm almost getting to that stage in this room, haven't had a good move around for about a year. Still got one clear shelf top to put things on though!! Happy WOYWW Cindy #17

  11. Hi sweetie - your craft room looks fabulous Zo - everything to hand and so well organised too. But then, having seen your fabby craft tote bag and the way you had everything so beautifully worked out and packed at the WOYWW crop I can totally understand and am sure you must be a delighted little bunny right now. AND, I remember the TH inks and attached pads - sigh, would you like to send Keagan and Co. here next?

    Happy WOYWW Zo, I'm too busy to join in right now but am hopping round my fave blogs :)

    Big hug, Di xx

  28. Love, love, LOVE the newly renovated room. How fabulous for you! I'm terribly jealous of that empty space on top of the bookshelf. How exciting to have it so nicely organized with the things you need out in the open on display. Happy creating!!!

  30. Hi Zoe, I'm now suffering a serious organised envy - your craft room is seriously well organised and I just love it. I'm forever reorganising mine and still never completely satisfied and now I'm thinking I will have to re-think how I have my shelves and maybe another sort out is going to have to be scheduled just as soon as I feel more up to it :)

    Thanks for your lovely comment earlier - it bucked me up to read it and know you understand.

    I hope the hydrotherapy goes well and that it won't take you too long to recover. Otherwise, have a good week. Elizabeth x #114

  31. Wow, that's really organised - what a transformation! What a lot of work must have been involved. I am sure it is now inspiring you to be even more creative!

    Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog, and I'm glad you like my efforts this week. If you haven't already, you might like to hop back to my blog and see my subsequent post, with the finished page.

    Happy WOYWW,

    Hugs for your treatment!

  36. I love yournew space it is so much better having somewhere to put things and things being where they should be. An organized space it so much easier to maintain. You must be really happy yourself with the setup.

    I hope the hydrotherapy doen't take to much out of you and you return to that beautiful space to play.

    Yes VB machine has gone to hell. I did scrap it for parts.

  37. Zoe!!! It's awesome!! Your new space is so neat and tidy and well organized!! And putting the two desks together looks like you have tons more room to create. That's more desk space to get messy and show off to all of us!!

  47. Delighted that the space will work so well. It makes a surprising difference to the light when you take stuff off the window sills . Nice to see your lair...and as I'm so late, I hope you're feeling really much better by now.
