where are those colored clamp lamps from? they're really cool

i like those shelves. i just don't want the hardware here because it's a small space.

kinda going back and forth though. i don't always like the look of floating either.

Chinavision - that's a Marantz on the book shelf, right? Is that a Rega on the small shelf?
I agree, very nice setup. What do you do for vinyl storage?
― los blue jeans, Friday, 2 January 2015 23:28 (nine years ago) link
know what, i'm gonna think about those track shelves again. the white looks cool. it looks like a place where someone lives, not some bullshit on pinterest.

the lamps are ikea

and most records are on ikea shelves, with a lot of twelve inches around the corner in my studio, which is very messy. if I could I'd replace the shelves with something white.plus a gratuitous shot of our mantle.

the hardware of those shelves seems less bulky/intrusive bc its the same color as the walls
― just1n3, Saturday, 3 January 2015 00:34 (nine years ago) link
yeah. i'm not gonna do white for the walls but i might do light gray which would be ok. can't wait to go to home depot tomorrow lol.

Something like the Ikea Lack shelves that attach to the wall with no visible hardware supporting it:http://www.blendswap.com/files/images/2013/09/blend_70179/bubbakk_ikea_lack_shelves_medium_3ddbf5a61882a5d0399c1ca3ecc68c8ec037ed21.jpgLots of other colours available

ogmor i'm not *opposed* to that but that's like 4-5" of shelf and the stove is behind there so it would get greasy

i am the supreme master of clutter. i'm not a hoarder, i love throwing things away, but i create piles because i lack proper storage for everything. i work a lot and get tired from working and that makes me clean less. also get overwhelmed, which clutter makes worse. this week i worked on cleaning a lot & trying to use my cleaning momentum to get this project done.
― kola superdeep borehole (harbl), Saturday, 3 January 2015 16:24 (nine years ago) link
harbl cant we make shelves across that whole wall instead of just the corner

i don't have enough stuff to fill those that and it's a very narrow room

i think it wld be good tho
i think it would be too i just don't want to make the space any narrower

i can't read the GTD thread. i am sometimes inspired by stupid blog posts about getting things done but trying to implement them makes my brain feel like a knot.
― kola superdeep borehole (harbl), Saturday, 3 January 2015 16:30 (nine years ago) link
i am def not a GTD person just in it for the decluttering, which tbf i am already pretty into, its just like an interest of mine

i love when things are not cluttered too. you wouldn't know it looking at my office or house though.

the main take away from that book seems throw everything you dont absolutely adore or use constantly away in one swoop then make sure everything thats left has an assigned place to be put away, i only read the first chapter tho, i think theres advice abt how to specifically organize stuff too

we just ripped out track shelving but it looked awful in a georgian living room. want to replace it with tall cupboards/cabinets we can cover in wallpaper but not sure you can get ones tall and narrow enough. or maybe you can and they're called wardrobes idk

A water dispenser/vat with a spiggot at the bottom and a basin to catch drips? Is my best guess.
Every time I look at the sheer number of flowered things I start laughing though so I'm a lil distracted.

gray goes well with a lot of colors. yellow, red, purple, and green all match w/ it well imo
― marcos, Friday, 24 February 2017 15:20 (seven years ago) link
Was considering doing a shari vari in the back of our bookshelves but decided to go for a single colour instead. Which should match/complement the blind.
― kinder, Friday, 24 February 2017 15:30 (seven years ago) link
To be more specific, different grays go with different other colors. It's more about the shading than anything. There are a million grays.

i have the desire to paint, de-clutter and clean when I'm totally slammed with work and don't have time to do these things -- also, the desire is an escape mechanism -- putting off one thing in favor of something else that isn't as immediately necessary but easier. bedroom really needs paint, as it hasn't been painted in almost 20 yrs (as in right before I moved in). But I'm going to wait until summer or at least warmish spring, so I can open the windows to air out the paint smell.

When I'm pushed to action with a really busy week at work I feel the obligation to be _on_ when I'm home, too
which is horrible because slow times at work would be the perfect time to get a lot of home stuff done but I slow down
