Reorganization of my sewing room
 
3 Attachment(s)
By a chance encounter, and conversation I battered for the services of a professional organizer. Trust me I could never had accomplished this without Beth's help. She made suggestions and jumped in to help me make them happen. I spent days decluttering before our first appointment, and wrote my goals down. I had a picture in my mind and by golly Beth made it happen.
I will share a few before and after photos. PS. I have not had time to get there and make any mess yet, LOL.

Pictures don't show how really awesome it looks. I also have a new design wall, I waited for years for. Love my DH for going to Home Depot for supplies and putting it up for me. All the room I have and it is filled 6 x 6 foot, LOVE it..

OH how wonderful your "new" space looks!!! Think of all the things you can "create" in there now without the clutter. I also recently reorganized and bought all new furniture for my studio and I am loving my new space too!! Congratulations. You'll love it.

Great job of organizing! Love the green and white quilt.

It looks wonderful and such a nice area to 'create'....do you think your organizer friend travels:)?

Amythyst02 07-11-2012 05:24 AM

The change is amazing, you should be all set to get all your projects done now !!!

Annaquilts 07-11-2012 05:37 AM

Wow! You went from I don't want to even sit in this room to I want to live in this sewing studio. Awesome job! Have fun in your "new" space.

Lucy90 07-11-2012 05:50 AM

Looks great! I don't let my room get to cluttered as I can't work in a mess. I did take out a couch and put in an old table for when I quilt a quilt and have room to have it lay without hanging. I need to do more work and yours looks great. Keep it organized - ha - ha

I'm sure you will find you are more productive in your organized sewing room.

LynnVT 07-11-2012 06:04 AM

Congratulations! Nice job. You have so much space to use, it's great to see it all organized. I love taking before and after pictures when I have a mess because it helps motivate me.

Very beautiful. Happy stitching.

Pickles 07-11-2012 09:48 PM

Very nice , looks so much better she did a great job getting you ready to sew once more!!

brushandthimble 07-12-2012 03:26 AM

Yes, i think she does. She mentioned she was waiting for a client to get the funds to fly her to Alaska:)
I could not have done this without her! I would get so far and hit a mental block, "what do I do now, where do I put this now"

Part of the problem is I teach in there twice and week and have to clean off the table so I would pile all my projects on the counter. There are other areas in the room I did not post, trust me they went from just as bad to looking good and need to be perfected. Now I try to pick up every little item either as I leave or first thing when I go in.

Halfsquare 07-12-2012 05:57 AM

Looks so great. And I love the quilt you have hung on the wall. Sometimes we just need a little boost!

Sienna's GiGi 07-12-2012 06:12 AM

I love it! Mine used to look like that but now it looks like your "before" pics. Heavy Sigh.

Happy Linda 07-12-2012 06:18 AM

So NICE. Great to have someone to help.

weatheread 07-12-2012 06:19 AM

What a wonderful room.

pippi65 07-14-2012 05:58 AM

How great is that? How lovely & inviting it looks. Congrats.

harleysews 07-14-2012 07:42 AM

Looks like there is hope for me. Your before pictures looks like my sewing space. I will start to organize today. Love the space. It was worth every penny your spent on paying the professional organizer.

Nanamoms 07-18-2012 08:33 AM

I'm still trying to find a good time for my Professional Organizer (it was a gift!) to come. In the meantime, I just "pretend" to organize by moving stuff from one place to another!!
