renovations

we consolidated a lot of art supplies in the kitchen, in part because our potential storage is underutilized, in part to help give sven some space in "the lab," and in part to share the often-duplicate supplies we have like glue, tape & markers. so some of the kitchen cabinet doors came off and the art we were storing in the bathroom came to live in the main house and the pantry was rearranged.
additional good news: sven hammered the letterpress arm that was bent enough for me to replace the rollers! i suspect these rollers aren't any good anymore because they're gummy, but i'm glad it's now a complete unit. i still don't have a good letterpress setup yet, but this is a huge step closer than i was in march. i am amused to note that the typecases for the letterpress fit perfectly in the oven; finding places for the letterpress supplies & the power tools gives us a lot more counter space.
things that still need to be solved:
- we only have one shelf left in the flat files that isn't designated for something
- my poetry & plays are still living in boxes, though we moved them to the bathroom
- the tools are lots better, but they really need a more permanent home
- we need a better system for cloth bits
- some of the kitchen cabinets are mysterious shapes that wait empty until we figure out what could possibly fit there
- non-shareable things for artist's way & open studio should be marked such or moved
- a better bed/couch system for guests or just hanging out
- i'd really like to see the main room painted
