I am glad to see that you are clearing your way to a productive sewing room even if it ruffles a few feathers at the time. But interesting enough, most of the time the stuff is not really important. When we went to DD for a visit, we put the last boxes of her "kept items" that had been stored in her childhood bedroom (which is now sewing room). She finally went through them recently (as she moved into a new home) and low and behold she consolidated all to one tote. DS was to visit last year and go through stuff but didn't. So on a trip out to visit him, I filled a suitcase with "his stuff" (flying Southwest-no fee for 2nd bag). Going in December and doing the same. Then it is time to either ship the rest-he's paying or I am tossing. His deep closet with shelves is my fabric storage and those pesty childhood boxes are in my way!!!
