Happy New Year from Sydney Australia!! My ‘Office’ is in a corner of my living/lounge room. I have a kidney shaped desk with an attached return/credenza that swings out to the left. Tip, don’t buy a kidney shaped desk, things fall off the ‘holes’ created!! I have put my old TV table next to the desk to the right topped with a piece of wood larger than the table, so it creates a space on the floor to add tall books etc.next to the space where my Tower would be, more storage. The Tower is on top of a piece of wood I added to the left corner of the desk, thus making the desk sorta oblong.& the printer is on top of the return. I added another piece of stiff cardboard covered in pretty paper at the back of the desk, & the screen & 3 speakers sit on this (made the desk more oblong!!) …….problem is, I save everything! They are mostly in folders, but one of these days I am gonna throw some things away. Meanwhile, the whole thing just looks so untidy, I have magazine organisers filled with folders, 8 in all. When I ran out of room I added a large tray on top of the folders & created more storage. sigh….soooo untidy… cannot afford to buy the nice white cupboard I have my eye on, (ideal
solution)…sooo, any ideas?
Please help before I drown in folders!! I’m not clever enough to put doors on the front of the open shelving, & don’t like the idea of a fabric skirt around it….too cutesy.

I’d buy a 2 drawer file cabinet (look at garage sales etc.) and make it a prop for one end of your wood pieces if possible. I KNOW how you feel, I had a 4-drawer file cabinet full. I finally found a charity that works with teens in trouble (when I was able to let go of some things) and they not only took craft supplies, but patterns, ideas etc. Also, my daughters gave me GREAT advice. choose which I would rather do….this, or this? It worked well in downsizing AND I now get more done than collect patterns. Good luck!
