Decision Made

Today is a big day.  Your decision is made on what type of shelving and storage you want in your studio.  It is the biggest decision because it may very well be your biggest investment either creatively or monetarily.  Since I'm assuming that you are working within your home, I've done the shopping for you.

If you're not lucky enough to have a successful dumpster diving trip to find your own

oversized magnetic board (Oct 7, 10), you can

use multiples and use three at a time to divide

into months.  Pin your engagements, doctor

appointment reminders, and must do lists in the

appropriate months.  That way you can have a

three month look at a glance. 

Remember we talked about multi-function storage.

In this photo you also have a magazine rack with a slot for pens, pencils, scissors and a place to hang your keys.  This example gets those tiny things off

of your desk to give you room to work. 

We even have a great example of shelving.  Don't

have enough art supplies to fill up an entire shelving unit?  Do you have your fair share of books that

belong close to you in your studio?  Don't forget

to look up for available real estate.  We will talk more about real estate when we get into space planning.

Maybe your art requires small closed storage as oppossed to an open shelving unit.   This cabinet has lots of drawers to keep all of your supplies tidy and out of sight.  



If your space doesn't allow for a generous projection, this open tapering shelving unit is a good choice.   To keep it open and airy, store supplies in attractive baskets.
