moved in!

[gusl]

I'm all moved in. It only took me 90 chilled minutes of unloading, planning, rearranging, etc. My housemate got me an Ikea shelving unit with 12 square compartments (4 rows x 3 columns), and now I'm trying to find a logical way to organize my garments. I've also installed a plastic coat-hanger on the wall.

I really like the place, and if I can negotiate the rent down to $800 or so, I may consider staying longer than just 4 months.

To Do:
* get some bookshelves (hopefully cheap, e.g. from someone's garbage)
* my bed is a size Double, but I bought Queen-sized sheets, which therefore look crumpled. The difference is only ~15cm in each dimension, so I'm trying to come up with something for stuffing the sheets with. Any ideas?

Did you design your wardrobe in some way to make it (for example) to be easier to find a logical way to organize?

Just bins by type (shirts, shorts, socks, etc.) is probably what I'll go with, just to contain them but no structure. But my wardrobe is simple, almost completely t-shirts and shorts, with a few exceptions - for job interview clothes for example.

I just wrote elseplace about wanting something like a program where you can fluidly design something to wear and then it fabricates the garments instantly. I guess if that existed it wouldn't necessarily just make garments, clothing itself would become more fluid too.

On arranging clothes: I've found one of those door shoe-holder deals to be useful and space-saving. Its got, iirc, 16 plastic compartments. Into 4 of them go a shirt, and another for get socks and undies.

This gets me through the week's underclothes without thinking about it. Then nicer (hung up) shirts and pants according to the weather and day.

Works for me, and doesn't take any any space at all.

Also: What sort of place does 800 get you there?
