My desk had been a catch-all of clutter for years, and then last December I picked up my dad’s pipes and tobaccos for me to get going and it got worse….
Background in first pic is what I’ve been dealing with.
Found a cabinet today when we cleared out wife’s storage unit in anticipation of buying a property when we can find the right one.
Of course it took thinking about moving to get my space dialed in. Hauled an ancient computer and a couple of printers to goodwill, cleaned up and oiled cabinet that had been in unit for a dozen years, found a pipe rack at goodwill to put dad’s collection, and switched the results of my 4 months of PAD to his ole Iwan Ries carousel.
I think it’s much improved. I’m sure it’ll grow,but it’s a start!
Pipe collection pre-inherited from my dad are on left.
