Last weekend I got confronted with the mess in my studio (http://sachakay.hartvanfrankrijk.com/?p=179). And decided to do something about it right away. It turned out to be a massive project: I worked on it every day of this week. What can I say? I’m thorough?
Sunday I started with dragging an old oak cabinet that was still standing in the barn into my studio (Thanks Dad!).
Then I went from a messy studio to an indoors landfill.
Of course I had help from Prince Lucius I, who was sending over his Zen from his new spot in front of the window.
There was a lot of stuff I said goodbye to:
And the result?
Thanks to my Dad for the cone-holder!!!
I’m so happy with my clean studio!
And look what I found:
Beautiful inspirational stuff!
And who knows how the rest of my house (and life!) will evolve? A friend of mine made me listen to Peggy Doolittle’s ‘De-junking Your Life’, I’m only at disc 2 from the 6…
She’s got really valuable and interesting things in her workshop. I really like the Laws of Stuff:
I just might attack my clothing-Stuff the first week of September.
What will be your De-Junking project?
Sacha.
That looks great! After a lifetime (50 years) of collecting, stashing, hiding, buying, and stock piling I have been slowly selling it, trashing it, burning it, and giving it away!
It’s interesting to look at why we keep “stuff” and why it’s so hard to give it up. It’s been a road of self discovery for me. It was hard at first…there were many blogs and emails and phone calls to friends…but it’s getting easier!
Way to go…the studio looks awesome! Now we’ll sit back and watch you create!
My studio – back when I had one – was never this organized …. OK, maybe once a quarter or so…. it is definately inspiring!
