The witch's den - before and after

I know, it looked amazing. Amazingly chaotic. Two half days later (and lots of filing), things are finally better. A bit. I threw out a lot (the holiday decoration boxes, for example) and tried to find a place for everything else. The bed is still a place for stuffed toys, pillows and blankets, I may or may not rearrange that one of the coming evenings. 

This was what you saw when looking at my room from the window.

 This is what you see now.

 

My "altar".

 My altar.

 

A close-up, just because I am happy to have it back.

 There are still places that need work - like the bed. That funny box-mound is my stuffed-toy-supplies, for which I would desperately need a closet or something. Until then, it will remain the way it is. And I really need to go through my book-shelves. By the way, that funny thing on top of the shelves, what looks like a wooden cross, is my knitting supplies. I have to keep them there because the cats love the smell and taste of wool and will steal it every chance they get.


 I also put up some pictures from a calendar (and a Pagan festival poster my sister got me a few years ago) and will hopefully add more decoration as time goes by. I love pictures, and I would love to paint the room even more, but I am still not planning to stay in this flat.

Okay, that was a short tour of the magical transformation of the witch's den. I hope you were not too shocked at the "before" pictures! I will now go, make some tea and enjoy a few pages of a trashy novel before I start with my next project: The remaining paperwork and sorting through the letters that need to be replied to. (By the way, if any of you reading here are still waiting for a letter from me, please drop me a note! With all the chaos, I kind of lost my system...)
