Room arrangement...
Mar. 7th, 2020 04:13 pmI've now realized that I've arranged one wall of my room badly.
The head of my bed is against the wall my window is on, which leave some space between the foot of my bed (which is a double, thanks to my tax return last year) and the wall in question.
The way I initially arranged it put my dressers (two stacked one on top of the other, with screws and brackets holding them securely together) in the back, against the wall that borders the two other walls I've already mentioned. A small gap separates the dressers from a pair of full-height bookcases, then I have a stack of luggage that holds clothes I'm too small for (given that they were essentially "lost" at the last house we lived in), which I use as a staging pad for my backpack.
Unfortunately, this puts my dressers in a very difficult to access position, as the narrow gap between my bed and the bookshelves is full of stuff I haven't found places for yet. Which means that most of my clothing that I actually wear is in a pair of rubber trugs I bought from the dollar store.
(these trugs were initially to help me carry my laundry to the laundry room that is only accessible from the back yard, due to sharing this house with a couple of other people)
I've done some measuring, and discovered that at least the smaller, taller dresser (the one I'm using for clothing) is definitely short enough, width- and depth-wise, to go at the other end of the wall, flat against it. Even without sliding the bookcases over!
Unfortunately, this means I really didn't think through how I was going to be using my room very well at all.
(see also me having to cut a corner out of my desktop to fit my desk into my closet)
What I'd love to do is pull the dressers out, slide both bookcases down to fill the corner, and put the dressers at the opposite end of the wall, where I'll be able to access them far more easily.
Again unfortunately, the bookcases are screwed to the wall, and there's lots of stuff in front of them, which would make that a very difficult thing to do. Not impossible, but it would require a lot of determination and help to get done.
