This week, our statue-like hearts became all soft and cuddly, and then started bleeding profusely. This is due to these three pieces of news:

Gaming Heads, a merchandising company with over 10 years of collectables experience, are releasing a slew of collectable items based around Team Fortress 2, Portal, Half-Life, and Left 4 Dead 2. The first release will be a 12-inch tall Heavy, in both Blu and Red team colours. Soon though, the entire Valve line-up will include:

• 18 inch statues from Half Life 2
• 12 inch statues from Team Fortress 2
• 12 inch statues from Left 4 Dead 2
• Life-size props

Hopefully Life-size props are where the Portal tie-in is based. Life-sized sentry, anyone? The Heavy statuette will be available for pre-order on the third of May.

As well as the lovely statues, Valve are going soft, with an entire range of Left 4 Dead 2 special-infected plushes designed by Alexandria “beavotron” Neonakis, the same person who created the hilarious Steam Holiday Greetings cards. The boomer is already available here, so go get it! Of note is that if you squeeze your cuddly boomer, it makes sounds taken from the game.

And finally, Valve are changing up their mutations. Last week’s Versus Realism has been switched for the deadly ‘Bleed-Out’. As survivors, you are no longer truly safe as your health is constantly plummeting towards zero. The only saviour you have is the odd bottle of pills and occasional adrenaline injection. Unlike the previous mutation, Bleed-Out is a campaign change. More information can be found on the Left 4 Dead 2 blog.

I’ve recently returned from organizing a dressing room/closet inthe colonial Mexican town of San Miguel de Allende. Now a UNESCOheritage site, San Miguel is beloved for its narrow cobblestonestreets and colonial buildings painted in sun-drenched colors ofochre, red earth, avocado and rose. Behind carved and brightlypainted doors are gardens blooming with orange clivia and lavenderjacaranda. Not only is it hard to find clear plastic bins in SanMiguel (and they are three or four times more expensive than in theStates), Rubbermaid and Sterilite seem very out of place there.

In a place such as San Miguel, or for any client who places ahigher priority on charm than efficiency, I’m forced to get morecreative with furniture, baskets and unusual boxes or custom-madecontainers. For my San Miguel client, we used a decorative paintedbookcase against one wall for shoe storage. Two ornately carvedarmoires served for hanging and drawer space. A hand-made Mexicanladder was propped against a wall and the client’s colorfulcollection of rebozos (Mexican shawls) were hung on the rungs. Itis not only an attractive display, she can also see what she has ata glance and is likely to wear them more often.

Baskets are plentiful in San Miguel, and although I am not a bigfan of baskets for storage, we were able to find some made oftightly woven grass (to keep out dust). They are rectangular andhave lids, which make them stackable. You can also line basketswith fabric to keep them from snagging anything delicate you mightwant to store. We used plain, inexpensive muslin. The baskets,which are about 18 by 30 inches, work very well for sweater,T-shirt and workout clothing storage. We also used a large openbasket to hold a bunch of hats.

Think how you might repurpose furniture or containers to betterorganize your space. I have an artist client in Napa who luckedinto purchasing beautiful wood card catalogs from a library thatwas switching over to computers. Once we labeled the drawers, shewas able to organize dozens of small, miscellaneous art supplies.The card catalogs would have been great as a huge jewelry box too;there are so many possibilities for all those little drawers.

Unfortunately, a bank of card catalogs is a rare find. A morecommon piece of furniture, the nightstand, makes a terrific sidetable for the home office. A printer or scanner can sit on top andnightstands usually have drawers and niches that can be used forpaper storage, manuals, and other supplies. A little paint and newhardware can totally transform a hum-drum piece of furniture for anew purpose.

Here in wine country, cardboard and wooden wine boxes are easyto come by and can be excellent organizing tools. Paint them, paintcollages on them or cover them in fabric and they become highlypersonalized storage containers. The dividers in cardboard wineboxes are awesome for protecting Christmas ornaments and othercollectables. 

Remember that if you can’t see at a glance what is inside abasket or box it will need a label for you to get that streamlined,“Domestic God” or “Goddess” feeling. There are nice ways to labelthings that don’t require my constant companion, the Brother P-Touch labeler. Stickers, appliqués, mailing tags and laminatedpictures fastened to baskets with key rings are some fun ideas.Hardware and office supply stores can trigger more ideas. 

For paper files, I insist on file cabinets 95 percent of thetime, and for garages, basements and attics, plastic bins willalways be my first choice. For everything else, organizingsolutions that add style and beauty, as well as order and sanity,is a key service that I bring to House in Order clients. Look atyour furniture with a fresh eye and browse second hand stores, yourown garage and the basket aisles at import stores. You, too, canstart thinking outside the plastic box.

Angela Hoxsey is a professional organizer based in the NapaValley. For more information on her services, call 738-4346 or goto houseinorder.biz.

Hoxsey will be speaking on “The Seven C’s of Organizing” at theNapa County Public Library at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 15.
