While I was taking pictures of my stockpile last week, it occured to me that we could actually add another shelf or two to the built-in shelves in that room.  So this afternoon, we headed off to Lowe’s to buy another shelf, and M finished installing it (which required TWO more trips to Lowe’s before it was over.  We need to plan better, sometimes.)  this evening.  It is so great!  I have room to spare!

We did a little organizational work out there tonight after Evelyn went to bed, and there’s plenty left to do, but I now have six more feet of shelf storage to play with!  We also bought a shelf for the remaining wall, but it will need to be done later. For one thing, it needs to be cut to fit. I’m pretty excited about it, as you can tell.  I love impromptu successful home improvement projects!  (Especially ones that cost so little money.)

And just so you know that I am not completely insane… a good deal of the room is not filled with my shopping spoils, but random knick-knacks, junk and things we can’t bear to part with (but apparently never use) for whatever reason.
