It doesn't help that a) we have lots of CDs and I mean LOTS of 'em and b) there's a major trade-off between being able to store a lot in a small space versus being able to use them efficiently. Sure, if you only want to store something then you can get more creative on design because you're mostly storing the item(s) in the most efficient way and the only external design element is how neatly you camouflage it... but if you want to also use the item? Cripes. Plus, how to store something with an eye towards accessible, efficient use without turning the item into this massive eye-pain of "wow, you've got a lot of X." ]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/579/feed 1 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/566 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/566#comments Tue, 07 Oct 2008 16:54:08 +0000 k2 http://www.karinoyo.com/?p=566
The floor had been about 90% done except for the last four feet stretch to the wall where the CDs were shelved, because we have too many goddamn CDs and moving them is always a hassle at least and a nightmare at worst. But if I was starting to get antsy about the incompleteness — [...]]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/566/feed 2 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/280 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/280#comments Sun, 23 Mar 2008 19:41:00 +0000 k2 http://www.karinoyo.com/2008/03/when-you-own-a-thousand-books/
For those folks asking about shelves, I managed to find the online version of step-by-step guide to making floating shelves from hollow-core folding doors. It’s a simple process, and the results are stunning, but warning: this may not be the best option if you’re renting. Even if you alter Step #7 from “glue and then [...]]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/280/feed 0 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/100 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/100#comments Sat, 17 Feb 2007 05:20:00 +0000 k2 http://www.karinoyo.com/?p=100
If you ask me (and you’re reading, so that counts as asking), it’s important to be aware of the importance of home as sacred space, as a place that’s both protective and inviolate and removed from what’s-out-there. And, as long as we feel like intruders or permanent guests or not-really-here in undecorated/uncommanded homes/spaces, we never [...]]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/100/feed 2 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/99 http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/99#comments Sat, 17 Feb 2007 05:19:00 +0000 k2 http://www.karinoyo.com/?p=99
After the last week or so of nonstop go-go-go (with the final note of it all being the news a friend is shipping off to Iraq for a month, sigh), I realized the best sanity saver is to avoid deep thoughts and chase the shiny, which for me will always be How To Occupy Space.

My grandmother used to call it “getting or-gin-ized,” where /gin/ is the same as the alcoholic beverage. Right on the tails of the Amazing Wardrobe Reconstruction, I seem to be feeling this sudden flare-up of Virgoan Organization Syndrome, which is quite peculiar. It only happens about every two or three years, and it’s quite terrifying; there [...]]]> http://www.karinoyo.com/archives/80/feed 0
