Even Further Adventures in the Geek Cave

Time is running out before the Cave needs to be viewing ready for our upcoming Holiday Party and my annual Holiday Diorama (which I've had planned for almost a year, for a change).  Which means the Geek Cave Reorg needs to finish up soon (or at least become presentable).

I've been having some fun recently rearranging the G1s and making use of that new shelf.  Read: ignoring other things that I should be doing in the Cave.  But it's great fun deciding who goes where and how best to use that new space.  By moving things around I also get a new perspective on the G1s, and can highlight some different parts of the collection.

The new display space is also in place now, and much of what was taking up floor space is now stowed in the cubes.  This does not mean that any of it is organized or properly placed yet, but at least it looks halfway decent and gives us some room to maneuver.

The Shortcakes have also inherited some additional space, with the CD rack that used to house ponies moving over to their area.  Eventually, I'll have things sorted out so that the shelves look full again, but everyone will have a little more room to breathe.

Further Adventures in the Geek Cave

Several times before I've thought that we've fit as many shelving units as was possible into the Geek Cave, and each time I've been proved wrong.  And so, we've squeezed one more Billy bookshelf into the room, on the vintage side.

Shelf space!

I also managed to get the table that was my display space out of the room and the two cube shelves that are becoming my new display space into the room (a task made more difficult by 4 cats trying to help and get into the 'forbidden room', as well as the pile of stuff on the floor).

Not quite in the right location, but in the right room!

The cubes will help with one of the problem areas I identified last week, namely the floor.  Much of the pile of stuff on the floor is made up of boxes holding pony wear and accessories that I only display when I have dioramas set up.  These will now have a more accessible place to live in the eight cubes under the display space.

We also changed out the blackout curtains in this room for a lighter colour curtain.  The pictures really don't do this change justice, but it brightens up the room tremendously.  You can really appreciate just how enormous Greyskull is now.

Problem Areas

The Geek Cave re-arrange has been on hold for a bit , because we've had other things on the go.  It's when things stall out that I find it hard to go back to work.  When things stall out, that's when you have time to see the problem areas.

Floor space?

For example: the floor.  This pile of stuff is partly things that were hidden under the display table, partly new things that don't have a place to live yet, and partly things that haven't been put in their place yet.  New shelves and a new display space (hopefully coming soon) will help with that.

Con Ponies, Princesses, and Pinkies

There are also some display spaces that I haven't sorted out yet.  I don't have a lot of these oversize ponies, but the ones that I do have could do with some better organization.  I have no idea where or how that's going to happen, however (or when).

There appears to have been a struggle

Finally, I have yet to finish organizing the G4 section of the modern side.  There's really no reason why this shouldn't already be done, other than I've just not been motivated to do it.  Not having the floor space to get near it probably doesn't help either.

So that's the current state of the Geek Cave, and also the areas that I don't have a good plan for yet.  I still have planning to do before the Cave gets closer to "done."
