Boxes, Boxes everywhere

[carynb]

I was talking with angelfire1969 last night about the difficulty in unpacking with all my boxes in the room. I described it as a "Wall of Boxes" once you walk in, but I really don't think that does it justice. So, some sample pictures. *g*

	Pooka on top Pooka's looking for the highest spot in the room, of course
	Sea of Boxes, Take 1 The view from the entrance to the kitchen, at the far end of the main room. The desk is buried in the corner under there, somewhere.
	Sea of Boxes, Take 2 The view from the entrance to the main room. There's no furniture in that back corner; it's just boxes.

The new place is 6 feet longer in the main room, but not as wide. I've graphed it out, so I'm sure all the furniture will fit (except for the end tables that I didn't really want, anyway). I'm definitely going to have to unpack boxes as soon as they're moved, though, or I'll be in the same spot - unable to unpack because I can't get at shelves to put stuff away.

It'll be fun, though. Organizing/re-arranging a new place is one of the good parts of moving. I never do it once I'm in a place, so this may be my chance to shake things up a bit.

The ceiling. People are always overlooking the storage possibilities of the ceiling. It works especially well if you're short.

(If you don't feel like using a stepladder to get stuff down from the ceiling all the time, installing a raised floor achieves much the same effect. It's a trade-off of cost for effort.)

I may end up getting one of the hang-from-the ceiling pot rack thingys, if I can't get all my pots into the kitchen space I have. So, ceiling storage may be in my future. *g*
