As far as sorting out the storage in my toy/wargames room is concerned, that part of the operation is now complete, and the room now looks like this:
(These photographs were taken starting at the door and going around the room in a clockwise direction.)
The next stage of the sort out will involve:
I intend to take a few days break before I tackle this next stage as I know that the next issue of THE NUGGET will be due for publication very soon, and I need to make sure that I have the time to check it before taking it to the printer and sending it out to subscribers.

The next stage of the sort out will involve:
- Going through each of the white-fronted draw units and sorting out what needs to be retained and what need to be disposed of;
- Going through each of the stacked Really Useful Boxes and sorting out what needs to be retained and what need to be disposed of;
- Re-arranging the contents of the white-fronted draw units and Really Useful Boxes so that it will be easier to find and access.

Oh my ! that looks tidy - I'm in awe of your organisation skills , very good indeed .
ReplyDeleteThe Good Soldier Svjek,
DeleteIt didn't look like this yesterday morning!
I used to have all sorts of different storage 'solutions' in my room, but over time I have rationalised them so that there are only four in use now ... and with the exception of the white-fronted draw units, they have been selected because they seem to be reasonably compatible with one another.
All the best,
Bob
Splendid looking room Bob - there seems to be a lot of early Spring cleaning going on.
ReplyDeleteMaudlin Jack Tar,
DeleteI try to keep the room as tidy as possible, otherwise I can never find anything!
It seems as if Ross Macfarlane is also in the throws of having a big sort out and clear up ... and I suspect that we are not unique in doing this at the beginning of the year.
All the best,
Bob
Very organised!! My collection lives in a chaotic heap in the loft or half painted on the dining room table...much to my wife's annoyance :)
ReplyDeleteAlastair,
DeleteFor years my stuff was in all sorts of different boxes stored in cupboards, on shelves, in the garden shed, and in the loft. When we had the loft conversion done, I decided to try to rationalise my wargaming storage ... and nearly ten years on, it is gradually coming together.
All the best,
Bob
Looks very nice. I wish I had more storage cabinets but most of my gaming materials have to remain in my attic.
ReplyDeleteDavid Cuatt,
DeleteWhen we had the loft conversion done, I bought the cabinets from IKEA specifically to store my books and some of my wargaming bits and pieces,
All the best,
Bob
I could almost admit to being slightly envious of your cabinets, esp the glass doors!
ReplyDeleteGood work!
Ross Mac,
DeleteThe big advantages of having doors on the cabinets are:
1. It stops the books getting dusty;
2. Once closed, the doors 'hide' any clutter
All the best,
Bob
An admirably organized and overall pleasant wargaming space.

Heinz-Ulrich von Boffke (Stokes),
DeleteMany thanks for your very complimentary comment. After years of 'making do', I wanted a room that I would enjoy using, and that I could feel comfortable inviting people to wargame in.
All the best,
Bob
Wow- if only my stuff was that well organised.
ReplyDeleteI think your standardised storage solutions is a very good idea.
Cheers,
Pete.
Pete.,
DeleteLike most things in life, it took me a long time to get things right!
The REALLY USEFUL BOXES are not cheap, but because the different-sized boxes are designed to be compatible with each other, they really are useful!
All the best,
Bob
Well done!
ReplyDeleteDan Foley,
DeleteCheers! I am very pleased with the end result.
All the best,
Bob
Wargaming Nirvana!
ReplyDeleteGeordie an Exiled FoG,
DeleteCheers, old chap! Its not quite heaven yet ... but hopefully it is getting there.
All the best,
Bob
Well done. I’ve been working away on my own gaming room of late. It’s a slow process!
ReplyDeleteTWR,
DeleteAs you know from your own experience, sorting out a wargames room is always a much longer task than you expect it is going to be ... but once it is done, the feeling of success is worth all the effort.
Good luck with your sort out,
All the best,
Bob
Bob,
ReplyDeleteCertainly good to see that you have the upper hand on your storage- well done! Looking forward to following your future Projects. Regads. KEV.
Kev Robertson,
DeleteIt was a job that needed doing ... and now it is done, I can crack on with other things!
All the best,
Bob
