I am ashamed to say, "I am the epitome of lazy"

I have a room upstairs that I intend to make my stitching room, however, before that happens I've been stashing everything around the downstairs.  The bedroom walk-in closet on the first level has become my go to when I need to stash anything stitching related.  So that is where all the DMC is and that closet is less than 20 steps away from the room I stitch in.  For me it might as well be 100 feet because I never seen to be willing to go there to get thread I need.  Now I keep my overdyed threads in the room I stitch in, stashed on a shelf under the T.V.  That makes those threads about 5 steps away from my stitching chair.  When I started "Nautical Tier" from Erin Elizabeth Designs, I looked through my pile of DMC sitting on the table from a just finished project and not put away, and when I didn't find the called for threads I pulled out the Weeks Dye Works bin and substituted for the DMC.  How lazy is that.  And the time it takes to figure out substitutes, well, if there's one thing I've got now it's plenty of time so obviously it would be less timely if I just got up and got the DMC. Anyway, here is my version of the Nautical Tier and the 2nd picture is the original.  Under the pictures you will find the substitutions I made.  I left off the starfish and sanddollars around the base as I liked focusing on the 3 tier tray.
