I converted our third bedroom to be my art room. I can create to my heart’s content (when I can make the time and have the energy). I consider it a treasure trove of wonderful ‘stuff’ I can use if/when the creative bug grabs me. Between projects, though, I tend to just open the door quickly (the cats try to dash inside the minute the door is cracked) and stash whatever it is, thinking I’ll get to it later. This is the result of all that stashing.
I really have no excuse, other than being a slob. My biggest problem when I try to go through things and clean in there is that something grabs my interest and I want to sit down and play with it. :0)
Under all this is a nice drafting table.
This used to be a dressing table when it was a bedroom. It is mostly set up (under all the ‘stuff’) as a jewelry making center and wrapping center. (I know – it’s hard to believe.)
This table is for alcohol ink creations, drawing, etc.
This is an area where I keep art supplies.
I have shelves on both sides of the drafting table.
The last time I cleaned this up, I was mainly straightening things. This time I’m going to concentrate on purging (donating things or throwing away), THEN cleaning, and THEN reorganizing. This will definitely be a multi-day project.
We have the truck packed with a big donation from the pantry purge to the Veterans Thrift Store in Ft. Smith. When we get home, we’ll repack the truck with all the trash bags from the same project, hoping that the good trash people will take them all. THEN I’ll start making more…

You have a nice and big creative room, Linda 😀
Sometimes it seems like we have more space to mess up in, when the room becomes too big too.

That is definitely the problem with having a nice amount of space – you tend to fill it up with abandon until it threatens to fall on you. :0) This time I’m planning to downsize the kinds of things I’m trying to make, so that should make it easier to get rid of things.

My office does also need, that I use some days in there again. I do that regularly, because I have cabinets with both clothe and hobby articles in the room too together with lots of things, as I don’t have furniture for yet.

You have an excuse for everything not to be in its place, Irene. I have the furniture, shelves, drawers, etc. I’ve just been stashing stuff in there for too many years, thinking I’ll use it ‘someday.’ It feels good to be going through things and having less.

Thank you Linda. I have been cleaning out there several times, to throw out, give away or save what I think, that I will need to use one day. It feels good, when we have been through the places, then we know, what we have and what we don’t need any longer.

I agree, Irene. I’m feeling happier and more in control as I get rid of things. Right now, I’m HOPING that the trash men will take all the bags we put out this week….
