This friend sounds like me. My step-daughter (who doesn't like ANYTHING out for home decor--she is a minimalist) feels the need to open the door to my studio and look in EVERY time she comes over! I just laugh and tell her when I die, there is a lot of money to be made off that room! ROFL
My sewing room is OFF LIMITS to visiting guests, as none so far are quilters or crafty at all. I don't even like to let DH in there, as he thinks it should look like a model home, the way he likes the rest of the house. One reason for my sewing room being unwalkable at times...it is the catch-all location for anything DH has a problem with; my antiques that don't match, my family keepsakes like the childs' antique rocker from G'ma, etc. I even keep some things of my mothers, so when she flys out to visit, she doesn't have to bring so much; especially medical equipment. Even though I appreciate that DH let me have my own space, I don't like him to tell me how to use/keep it. All of my favorite things are there.
After I get my mother downsized this summer (a good part of my summer is out of state with her), I will return to do the big sewing room clean-up, before school starts again...too soon. Has anyone noticed how short summers are now? I could laugh as time seems shorter in general, but our school only gives us 7 weeks off...not the great 3 months we had as kids. :(
