My “place” in our trailer is at the dinette. And the seat has become my office desk. It is where I have had a stack of “stuff” for about six years. You know, the stuff that would normally be on your desk if you had a house: bills and other important papers that need attending to; notebooks; maps; pens and markers; books and magazines I’m reading at the moment. I get so annoyed by having that stack of stuff there that I went out and bought myself an organizer shelf.
This morning, FabGrandpa (who is feeling much better, thank you to all those who have asked) installed it on the wall. It was a perfect fit for the space I had. There are three shelves and a small drawer.
I couldn’t put it as high up on the wall as I would have liked because the window trim wouldn’t allow for the drawer to be opened, otherwise, I am really happy with this small modification to my space!
Just look how much better it looks! There is room for my camera and the USB cable for it in the drawer. I bought a little photo album for 97 cents to keep my ever growing collection of business cards in, too!
So this:
Now looks like this:
Getting organized is so much fun!

I need something like that. I bought some plastic drawers but they sit on my dining room chair and it feels cluttered. I really need a junk drawer!

Hey Linda, How's your battle with the Chinese Ladybugs going? I just landed in Luling, TX, for the night, and those little buggers are hovering around the rig. I hope to "get out of Dodge" before they find any openings!
Judy and Emma says
Karen, Soooooooooo sorry about the Linda thing. My bad! Judy
Gaelyn says
That's perfect and cute. I like the idea of using a small photo album for bussiness cards. I have a huge stack.
Glad Fabgrandpa is feeling better.
Jo says
What a neat idea. I wonder why I related to the stack of "stuff" on the desk (also been there for "6 years"!) Glad Fabgrandpa is feeling better.

I also fight the clutter battle, even though I live in a big house. The counter by the back door is where all the clutter lands. I clear it off constantly, and I have a big catch-all bowl where I put the odds and ends. When the kids leave their sunglasses or the grandkids forget a small toy, they go into the catch-all bowl. Everyone learns to check it periodically for lost belongings!
Christine says
That is much better. I had a shelf in my truck camper like that. I loved it. Great job fab Grandpa.

Hey Judy, that is so funny that you called Karen, Linda because I'm sure that our Mother has called each of us by the other's name….at least I have heard her call me: Di-aKar-aPres -aBob-I mean Linda LOL
