Well today is traditionally a day of rest, not so in this household. We (hubby and me) have both learned how to fit a square peg into a round hole. Or in other words how to fit a previously large study into a tiny one. I have a collection of singles, LP's and video's plus an old music centre that I refuse to get rid of as it is a solid piece of kit and it plays vinyl ! They will not fit into the lounge where we have DVD's and one other music centre. So it was a case of dragging a vast amount of very heavy equipment and nostalgic vinyl items up a narrow staircase to the study where (with just about everything else) we made it fit. It certainly is not pretty and not the shabby chic calm and beautiful study I wanted BUT we have everything around us and not in a damp old shed.
Row after row of singles, LP's and video's.
Row after row of singles, LP's and video's.
Books squeezed into every available space
Crafting stuff - sewing, painting and paper.
These industrial looking chrome shelves were bought from a company called "Big Dug", they are very strong and hold tons.
Our "In Box" (that never gets emptied and household files
A corner of calm - the Teddy corner
Chess pieces that have a shelf to themselves
And finally (are you still awake?) a little bit of nostalgia in the form of vinyl (those were the days).
How embarrassing to see the Partridge Family, well I was in love with David Cassidy, what a pity he didn't keep his looks ! A few classics to, funnily enough I would buy an album just for one track in those days.
Are you a vinyl lover ?

I miss LP covers! some of those bring back memories!
ReplyDeletewell organised -so good for your karma
fee x
My goodness what a lot you have. I have some of those albums too, but I must admit I did get rid of loads and loads - probably worth a mint now. The trouble with me is I get fits of 'tidying up and de-cluttering' and woops off they all go. I could easily live in an almost empty house - less to clean and less to dust. I so admire you keeping all your bits and bobs - you obviously have a much stronger constitution than me.
ReplyDeleteWell done on your magic trick of fitting everything in! I'm proud of you :)
ReplyDeleteBee happy x
Have a delicious day!
Goodness me how did u manage to get it all fitted in. i had to give up so much when i moved house sob sob. (your link is now live)
ReplyDeleteWow! I too have loads of vinyl, I was looking through it all yesterday pricing it up for a bootsale which I did today, some of them are really expensive now as they are so rare! well I suppose they would be that price to a collector but not sure everyone would pay that price! I also have a retro vintage record player that I don't really want to get rid of, but trying to make space..actually I don't think I am going to sell that one..as I want to keep it! I like your lovely teddies :) and oooh! I loved Saturday Night Fever! and David Cassidy..lol!
