I've been exercising some serious willpower and have not bought any new miniatures (and certainly not houses!) in quite some time, primarily motivated by the mess of my collection these days. I bought storage boxes from Michaels and have been boxing up furnishings bit by bit to try to get more organized. I actually went through them pretty quickly, so I will have to get more to continue. Progress is happening, just slowly...
I couldn't help but to arrange a super quick scene in my Bodensee with some boxed pieces.
Within the next few weeks I hope to free up some additional space in our laundry room so that we can move things around and maximize space. There are so many little projects I'd like to get to!

Hello from Spain: I like to see how you have arranged your furniture. Great job. Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteBeautiful furnitures :)
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel when it comes to so many projects! If I had your pieces I would have to get them all out and do something with them also. Your collection is so awesome!
ReplyDeleteSiempre esta bien ordenar para saber de que dispones. Luego es mas fácil elegir.....¿?
ReplyDeleteI have done what you have done, but I made the mistake of using cardboard boxes, rather than the plastic translucent ones. Of course, trying to find something once stored has proved a big time waster. Your idea is MUCH BETTER and the boxes are more practical as they can be stacked and stored on shelves easier than cardboard cartons can. But isn't it interesting, that once you began grouping items to fit into a box, that new combinations and good ideas for room settings, began to percolate. I guess that is what is meant by Thinking Outside The Box! :))
ReplyDeleteHi! The living room scene is beautiful. Organizing takes up so much time, but it's worth it :-).
ReplyDeleteThat is so impressive. I keep trying to stop buying minis and work on organizing what I have got instead, but I haven't been succeeding very well.. .
ReplyDeleteI use vintage hard-sided suitcases to store my minis. It works...the problem is, I keep coming up with ideas for future projects (and I live in 500 square feet, so I'm running out of room!).
ReplyDeleteYes, I need to do this too, I was looking at plastic boxes the other day!!! :D I love those units in the first box.
ReplyDeleteWait! So...you're saying that you need to find room for these beauties?? You can send them over to me. I'll totally help by taking those off your hands. ;) Who am I kidding? I need to reorganize my stash too, man.
