Re-organization meditation

We’ve been lucky enough to remain healthy during the past few months. We’ve spent our time creating, thinking soul searching, walking in nature, listening, learning, posting, noticing, showing up when we can, sleeping, calling family, and wondering what life will be like tomorrow, in a month, in a year. 

I have a somewhat scary hobby of collecting things – antiques, vintage clothes, tiny bowls…so many tiny bowls. One thing I’ve found particularly meditative is to reorganize our open shelving to be the perfect balance of functional and inspiring.

Black and white minimalist

My favorite of all – simple and functional, utilizing the top shelf to display some of my favorite sculptural shapes.

A more decorative display of depression glass gifted to me by my grandmother. I lost the battle for pink tile during the renovation so my rebuttal is to display every piece of pink glass I own in one place.

I’ll follow the sun

I thought this was my least favorite version but the color yellow makes me very happy. This one is like going to the summer side of the kitchen. I only bake one thing (Alison Roman’s Turmeric Lemon Loaf) so the top shelf is a great place to store baking ingredients, keeping the bottom shelf for everyday use.
