It was such a simple plan: I’d move some of the stuff off the
shelves so I could brush the feather duster over the top layer or two of grime.
Then drag the fabric bins out into the hall and run the vacuum around. A good
couple of hours and I’d be done, with a nice clean room.
That was Tuesday morning.
This was the situation by Wednesday afternoon:
My simple plan did not include allowances for investigating
the contents of each and every container, deciding I didn’t want half of it,
then deciding whether I wanted to throw it away, give it away, or sell it, and
then reorganizing the remaining half.
The good news is that as of Friday night I had all of the
to-go stuff out of the room, and it’s looking pretty clean, open, and conducive
to creativity again.
The bad news is that all of the stuff I took out hasn’t
really gone anywhere, it’s just sitting in the hall. I guess that’s some sort
of progress?

All I can say is that your space in chaos looks better than my creative slum any day of the week.
ReplyDeleteWell done for being organized and even thinking of cleaning!
I love cleaning out my sewing room. It is like fabric shopping all over again.
ReplyDeleteI would never show my sewing work area. Your floor is actually visible.
