Now for the mess, and more mess

Yes, everything starts with a mess.  Doesn’t it?   Everything has to get worse, before it can get better.

On my studio rearrange #2 project…

• I took down the storage shelves.
• I took down the art holders from the wall
• I moved the big desk next to the other one
• I wrapped up that giant desk in bubble wrap and shrink wrap (a wrestling match)
• I found someone to help me paint
• That person didn’t come (sigh! do over)
• I got colors
• I found someone else (fingers crossed)
• I carried Ada on my shoulders through IKEA on a crazy weekend day to buy a 96″ butcher block counter top, and wheeled it out across the giant parking lot, a crazy wiggling cart, with her on shoulders
• I hauled the unwanted/uneeded stuff to storage with my helpers (hired guy & Ada – perfect!)
• I hung the stuff back up, swept, and looked around

So, yes, 2.5 months later, its still a mess!  Many parts not even started: desk legs, chair, key board spot, computer set-up, rug, plants, etc.  And that’s not even talking about what to do here, ha! Change is hard: no owners manual, no audience, no approval.  Yes, a small studio space, but something not so unique.

Wrestling with a giant desk and a roll of shrink wrap takes faith.  How about you?  I now have a green/blue wall too!

Let the space change me.
