Cartoonery 205

May 2, 2009

When I was a kid, we moved around a lot. Dad was in the military and so we would stay for awhile in one place, and then a year or so later, we'd pick up and move. So it seems only natural that I would be accustomed to discombobulation.

Here's the new office.

what a mess!view to a bookshelfsinking with a fireplace

Well, it's gotten purtier since this photo was taken. None-the-less, it was my reality not long ago. Everything, including four bookcases of sketchbooks and HEAVY artbooks, was picked up and trotted three doors down to #205... the new home of "The Cartoonery"... or as I am calling it, Cartoonery 205. There is a tad less space in the new place... due to the addition of a fireplace, sink and a closet door... but hey... I HAVE A CLOSET! Now I can hide all the files, portfolios, and doodads that I wish not people to see! Ah... and with a sink, the office plants will LIVE!

So I have new office happiness.... which is very much like the new room happiness I experienced as a kid... you get to decorate your space any way you wanted to... and by moving stuff around, it made things fresh, new and exciting.

Congrats on accomplishing the move. That looks like it was a lot of work! Recently having assisted my in-laws with their move, I determined that I will never again help literate people move. Their deceptively small boxes contain lots of books and books are heavy! Illiterate people, yep, I'll help move. :)

That is an interesting looking space. I didn't realize the sink was so near to the fireplace. Why, if you had an out-of-control fire, you could just take a cup and douse the fireplace. Assuming the fire were in the fireplace.

Where's the closet -- did I miss it?

Hey thanks, Jammie... The office is great! I will remember the sink to fire tip. Interestingly enough, the Salinas Fire Dept. has offices down the hall... I should hope there wouldn't be a fire in the building as that would just be embarrassing. There is a restaurant downstairs though... sometimes I worry. Anyhoo... the closet, since you asked, is directly across the room from the sink (opposite wall to the fireplace). .... and the books were heavy... but I employed a dolly. You grow smarter after so many moves!
