dear i took the room on the shelf diary,
taking a backseat to the closet space i don't have, i made lots of shelves all over my house. bunches of stupid shelving units that you prolly wouldn't see ordinarily in a house of my size- it makes it bigger. if i had my way- i might just have a row of shelves around the ceiling- maybe two rows of shelves around the ceiling. then i would not just store things up there- but display cool items alone up there to look at AND collect dust. i believe a certain amount of dust keeps a person healthy. it really does. if things are too clean- your body cant fight off the 'ick' in life. it's kinda like washing your hands all the time- i think. i like my home to be modestly lived in with a even plateau of dust, clutter and decoration- with shelving and the daily necessities running the gamut of pulling it all to a head. as long as i know where all my shit is, and the dust on remains undisturbed, i know it hasn't been fucked with since i dusted it last and that's what makes me happy.
