As I said earlier, the goal is to be able to move as much of the accumulated stuff off to the sides and organize it so an individual item can be more easily found.
The photo above shows what I want to happen. Almost everything behind the 2"x4"s is Xmas decorations of one kind or another. We could probably decorate five or six Christmas trees with each one having its own theme. Put us right up there with Rockefeller Plaza, that would. We have Hallmark ornaments and Danbury Mint ornaments up the wazzoo. Then there are the hand made ornaments in wood (mine) and in cloth (Terry's). Of course, using uniform boxes to store everything in would make this sorting thing a wee bit easier but so much less colorful.
And let us not mention the need to label what is in each box...hmmm. Where's the joy in that. This way it's like having two Christmas mornings. One when you want to decorate is just a s full of surprises as the one on December 25.
Tomorrow I'll be putting down another 8'x6' section of flooring and working to get still more stuff off to the sides. That may require moving the base of the hutch...and my back is already protesting having to climb in and out among the trusses. Oh well, that's why they make Tylenol.
