Yep.

I do that everywhere else but it was hard to do in there because there just was no space!

Haha! Actually, when I painted that room 8 years ago my puppies mostly black and white!

I chose that color because it made me feel cozy but it wasn't dark or somber. I have a lot of sage green stuff and I love the way it coordinates. Thanks, Pat!

I really like the peg board for your sewing tools -- great idea!

Love reading all your organization tips. Makes me motivated to get in and start a "work of fixing a better sewing nest."

Thanks for sharing! Wow you are brave--loved how you made reasonable choices to make very reasonable decisions. You give courage to the "I may need that someday" crowd. Maybe I can get to this point some day.

Congratulations! That's a LOT of work , but it really looks nice and I"m sure you get a lot more accomplished now that things have been purged, organized, and prettied up.

Good job!! Love your little helpers. I wish my "helper" would stay and help me. He doesn't like the sound of the sewing machine. I can iron, and cut, and pin baste, but when I turn on the sewing machine, he gets up and leaves the room.

Thank you for clarifying how to let the fabrics go, I am at the planning stage of clearing things out. Had to clear out my attic that contained over 50 bags of kids clothes from 25-30 years ago, they put their most LOVED things in paper bags and hid them up there. Now I am on task to do my quilt room to let go of crafty stuff not being used. Salvation Army will make a visit and hope to make them very happy when the leave.
You are an inspiration to a lot of us, we can have a neat room and feel good in our rooms.
