I put a whole run of wardrobes up across one side of the bedroom and when all was finished, doors on and adjusted, screwed to the wall etc. I noticed when I stood back to drink in my marvellous achievement that.... I had screwed one of the little plinths on back to front and it was brown instead of white like everything else. I painted it to blend.

What a great job of organising, well done. What is it about spare rooms? Ours is just a clutter magnet. The bookcase looks great and such a great idea using the shoe boxes (I'm going to borrow that idea if you don't mind) because they fit perfectly and are the ideal size to sort things by category. Whatever you need is always close to hand, so no more searching through drawers and boxes for twenty minutes, and the lids keep everything dust free too! Brilliant! Many thanks for sharing, your videos always brighten my day x Monday is the meteorological start of spring and only 4 weeks from tomorrow and the clocks change. Everything feels better in spring, the garden is already starting to wake up and the roses will be here in no time :) Have a wonderful weekend dear Mr Carrington, hugs always x

All the shoe boxes look get and organised . In time if thou if you find that you don’t want to be looking at the shoe boxes with all bits and bobs in them , you could always put a curtain rod up along the top length of the bookcase and hang a piece of material up to cover it up.

The paints... if you have a spare tray you can put all the chalkpaints on it. The spray paints could have a tray or a shallow box (perhaps a box lid) to stand in. Than you can easy pull out the whole tray/box and see all paints.

I know right but it's a thing in Britain (& Ireland), it's sooooo damp. Almost all rentals have a black mold problem if the tenants don't air & heat the unit adequately, and most don't as they're afraid of electricity bills. We build with stone/brick/concrete so our buildings last, but need to be 'de-humidified' all through the damp & winter months. Also, because we don't use tumble dryers (for power use/cost reasons), we often dry our clothes on racks indoors, in winter & when it's raining. Other than that, we line dry. That folk would use need to use a 'humidifier' is quiet alien to us.
