HELP SOS MAYDAYMAYDAY

Well I am not one for making new years resolutions as I usually do not keep them. However I am determined to get our library/study/office/ DISASTER ZONE organized.
Hopefully I will actually get this done. I may need some help with it and I am not sure if Melody is up for it, considering this is my mess. Yes I take full responsability for it
And maybe some time down the road I will show you the final result

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Oh how I wish I could get all my books out of boxes!! Have fun sorting and organizing!

[Debbie Sesma]

Good luck with your organization resolution! I suppose If resolutions were easy, they would already be done :)

[Deb B]

Good luck with this... I wish I could peruse your books.

[karenann]

Great photo, Brian. I really don't think that this is so bad. It looks very homey and comfortable. And I'll just bet that you know where everything is right now. :)

[Kelliejane]

haha that is a lot of books - have fun with that resolution, love to see the final version too :)

[Anne ❀]

i don't think it looks so bad either!

[Dora Prokosh]

I see Ikea in your future. Good luck but it really doesnt look too bad

[bkb in the city]

@dora Well I showed you the neater half of the room

[bkb in the city]

@sunnygreenwood Thanks but this is the neater half

[bkb in the city]

@kelliejane Thanks

[bkb in the city]

@karenann I usually do but I have so many unfinished projects on the go

[bkb in the city]

@definitelydeb Thanks

[bkb in the city]

@veralynnds Thanks Debbie

[bkb in the city]

@olivetreeann Thanks

[Austin]

good luck with your project. Just today I made a list of things I want to try to tackle in the coming months.

[bkb in the city]

@austin1966 Thanks

[Carolyn White]

I really don't think it looks that bad! Now I have a room that looks like a tornado has been through it. I never let anyone see it! It is on my list to try to organize it.

[Shirley Chetwynd]

If you tidy it up to much you wont be able to find anything, LOL

[bkb in the city]

@http365proj hahaha you may be right

[bkb in the city]

@cjwhite Well I stayed in all day tring to get over this cold I have been fighting before going back to work tomorrow and this was the only shot I took

[Carolyn White]

@bkbinthecity I'm so sorry you're still feeling bad! My husband and I just got over colds or so we thought. He;s started feeling bad again. We weren't sick at all last winter, so I guess our luck ran out! You have so many lovely hardback books. Most of mine are paperback books.

[jerry plume]

The pressure is on now! Nice before shot, when is the after shot coming? Hope you feel better soon!

[Brian Baptie]

You need to get someone in and do a decent bookcase!!

[Maaikel]

Looks like a great place! (okay I love books..) Some bookcases and done! (or are you hiding things...)

[Isabella Thunder]

still looks better than my room

[Mrs. Smith]

Yup, I say you do need some help. I'd help you too, but would probably easily get lost in a book and not be that much help! Good luck. I hope to see the final results of your work soon. (You can do it!)

[adobe waters]

i adoe the books that look like this - gives me a very comfortable warm feeling - there really are some advantages to what some would call a mess!

[Paula]

Uh oh. I actually think this looks quite organized. That does not bode well for the state of my bookshelves....

[John]

@pwallis I agree with Paula ;-)

[Drew Hedden]

If this is a mess, it looks like the most organized one I've ever seen. Happy new year!

[Howard Steele]

Good luck looks like a job to be shelved.

[Courtney]

Have fun with that! Organizing is so time consuming but really worth it!

[Juliette Packham]

I love books - I'm sure you'll come across some forgotten beauties in the tidy up!

[Shanne]

I am so not showing you my disaster zones, that is so clean and tidy. Well done for making the resolution.

[bruni]

To me it looks quite organized...no messs at all..usually when you clean up you can't find anymore what you new was right there before.
but still like to see your after picture.

[bkb in the city]

@bruni This is the neater half of the room

[bkb in the city]

@shanne Thank you

[bkb in the city]

@sparkle I am sure I will

[bkb in the city]

@cfitzgerald It is time consuming and when I start I usually have things laying al over the place which of course drives Melody crazy but it is worth it in the end

[bkb in the city]

@steeler Ideally I would love to have floor to celing shelving but I don't think that is going to happen

[bkb in the city]

@drewhedden This is the neater half of the room.

[bkb in the city]

@johnnyfrs Thank you

[bkb in the city]

@pwallis Thanks but this is the neater half of the room

[bkb in the city]

@adobewaters That is one way to look at it

[bkb in the city]

@mrssmith Thanks Carla for the vote of confidence

[bkb in the city]

@izythunder I don't feel so bad then

[bkb in the city]

@maaikel This is the neater half. There is a big pile on the floor that is hidden

[bkb in the city]

@bdb3471 Yes I am hoping at some point to get some built that are floor to ceiling

[bkb in the city]

@It will get done it just might take longer than I am hoping for

[Ellen E]

good luck with that! My husband has gradually gotten me to get rid of quite a few books! They are tough to part with!

[bkb in the city]

@ellen They really are. I am hoping to actually build bigger bookcases

[Ellen E]

good idea! :)

[bkb in the city]

@ellen Thanks

[ronnie]

Looks like my office. I made a resolution to clean it up a couple of years ago, but still haven't made much progess. ;(

[summerfield]

that's not a bad looking dig. it's more organized than my living room :-) well until the Christmas tree is taken down and the boxes are taken back to storage.

[Claire]

I don't see a mess I see a personal library:0)

[Mary Lou]

good luck:) I am in charge of our ongoing used book sale at work, it looks a bit like this.The proceeds go toward helping a school in Africa. Everytime I get it organized we get new books donated so it's really never organized!

[bkb in the city]

@allred Well that sounds like a worthy cause

[bkb in the city]

@claireuk Well it is but this is the neater half of the room

[bkb in the city]

@summerfield Thanks. This is the neater half. The big pile on the floor is hidden by a bookcase

[bkb in the city]

@ronnie Well maybe someday. Hopefully I will get mine done this year
