It’s that time of year where I try and get things set for the next year. Today in my pursuit of a better life in writing, I’m heading to SWAP. It’s a great place with lots of dinged up tacky looking old office furniture. Maybe it’s because of the leftovers my dad would occasionally bring home from the factory he worked at when I was a kid, or maybe it’s from my 12+ years working at newspapers where such decor was standard, but I actually prefer these goods to the flashier but a lot less sturdy choices of today. My black metal desk I got from SWAP a couple of years ago is my favorite such find, and today I’m hoping to get some equally fabulous bookshelves.
I’m also moving a cocktail sized table out of my office and an old marble topped table in. The marble table is a rectangle which I think will be great to lay out projects and stuff on. I also in this plan will get rid of the boxes and boxes of author copies of all of my books I still have. I’ll keep the books, but get rid of the boxes.
All in all I have high hopes for all of this. It won’t be fancy, but I’m not fancy and I think it will work for me.
How about all of you? What’s your style and do you like setting aside time to reorganize a room?

My style is simple… As for reorganizing a room, I do not do that often unless I get a new big piece of furniture and want to fit it in… like bookshelves!
