I changed my mind along the way and still have some (big) changes left to go… but until I can justify the price of a Murphy bed the actual reorganize is done, now it’s time to just work on decluttering surfaces!

First we have the computer desk and extra table. This was originally meant to be the corner I’d shove my dresser into (with the table continuing to hang out in front of the window). In the end, though, I decided that I’d prefer having one less piece of heavy furniture to move, the ceiling hook in this corner (not pictured) made it a better spot for running VR than the corner where the dresser’s been sitting, and I just felt like facing the window instead of keeping it to my side would be better for my overall environment when it came time to air out the room.

Once I’ve got the surfaces properly decluttered I intend to move my external monitor to that table (another reason why this arrangement is better–the original plan would have put the monitor directly in front of the window and I don’t think I can use the desk clamp the way that table is designed) to better view my fitness games.

Also, while emptying off my desk to move it, I uncovered a lot of stuff on those shelves that I forgot I even owned… I still need to take another look at the contents of those fabric cubes as I was prioritizing moving the desk at the time, but I had a whole bunch of stuff to donate to the local thrift store after this part of the reorganize.

I also need to get around to moving my filing cabinet under the table as well so I’m not smacking it when I play Beat Saber, but that’ll require making some changes to how I’m charging my phone… I’m currently using the metal cabinet as a heatsink but once moved I’ll have to have space on the table for that kind of stuff. An “eventual” plan, but the biggest challenge is in moving the phone rather than the cabinet.

This was the one that required all the reorganizing, as I had nowhere to set up an easily accessible charging station for my gaming equipment or GoPro batteries until I could shove this shelf unit back in my room.

It’s still a work in progress; the drinks were removed from that shelf at some point after this picture was taken and replaced with a half-height fabric cube to hold excess medicine bottles (like vitamins that are cheaper to buy in bulk) such as those on the table in the first picture and other things of that nature, but I still need to make room in the pantry for the canned salmon and box of honey on the next shelf over (plan is, since I don’t need everything charging all the time, to get another half-height cube for the GoPro accessories when I’m not charging them), and that cube on the left has bags of chips I’m gradually finishing off.

Once the food is gone the cube on the left will hold the tent-sized muslin pajamas (really a poncho and yoga pants) so I can clear space out of my dresser to make the rest of my pjs fit without cramming them in, while the cube on the right will continue being used the way it is now… as a makeshift hamper for my copper infused socks since their wash instructions are different from most of our laundry.

Also not pictured is the desk-clamp style headphone hanger holding my Aftershokz. (The blue things hanging on a hook in the first picture.) I can start charging them for Zombies Run again!

Also cleared a bunch of stuff off of my dresser after taking this picture. Mostly in the form of just getting rid of things I didn’t need any more, though some things like the extra deodorant ended up in the “medicine drawer” over on the cube organizer.

The reason I was originally planning to move the dresser can barely be seen in the edge of the photo–power cords going behind the dresser due to the location of the outlet–but barring the possibility of having enough room to move it whenever I get a Murphy bed I think at this point I’d just prefer to have a narrower dresser.

That gives me (no photo taken) a narrow “corridor” between my bed and desk I can use for games like Beat Saber and even OhShape while I’m facing the window, enough space to play RingFit when facing the table… and hopefully enough space to avoid smacking anything when recording a VR session/facing the table once I’ve moved my filing cabinet.
