Because desertgrandma is so irresistible, I have chosen to publically humiliate myself with my giant mess (somewhat better because I've been cleaning, far from finished!)

That's only cause I carefully avoided taking pictures of most of the floor....

And you can't see I've not dusted in... :muffled:

The plate holder works great. I generally charge it on that. Makes me feel classy. :grins:

As to the books... I've one more short shelf and one more big shelf in the other room. If only they let me trade books in for ebooks..

I've already posted these in another thread, but seeing as we're centralising the farkspace thing here...

Here's my downstairs desk, where I do most of my intehwebbing:



and here's the upstairs, where the iMac does my photo post-processing:



Prior to my new downstairs desk arriving recently, here is the dent my fat arse formed in the lounge:


(Oscar is saying "Sure, Dad, you go ahead and record your fat-arsery. Such a proud moment")

Now, I want you to listen carefully, and repeat as often as needed.

"The Kindle does NOT replace my paper books.....it simply allows me to read on a different level. My paper books are tactile, and old friends. I do NOT have to get rid of them."

Gideon, you don't know what a mess is. (And no, I am not going to post pictures. Well, maybe I'll take one of my "organization" bins later, just to contrast with Kaz. Complete with birdseed everywhere!)

DG, I would happily trade my pbooks for ebooks, and I think my pbooks would be happier, too. Right now most of them are packed in the basement because there just isn't room for them in our current house. In many cases, there are no legal ebook versions (though that is gradually changing, thankfully).

I'd not trade my pbooks for ebooks. What would I need to fill the lounge with then???

Here's what you do. Run shelves about 12" from ceiling, all the way around every room, including hallway, in your home.

Problem solved.

if she's like mine, you have to actually sit on her before she'll think about moving...

Well, Rebarnmom, now I know I can invite you over, you have animals too! I don't invite anyone to the house unless I ask first if they're allergic to animals. Speaking of inviting, when are we getting together?

montsnmags - Wow! Really nice! I'm jealous! I really like the minimalist look, but I can't pull it off at all.

Desertgrandma - I love my books, but I need to be more portable. Those things are over half of what I move everytime I move (and I move a lot!)
