You've really cleaned up your "act", lol!! Good for you! Debbie really got everyone involved in cleaning up their spaces!!

Heres the dining room ... Just a note - My sister in law made the curtains and my DH and I recovered couch and loveseat. I covered dining room chairs in same fabric and made the accent pillows!! Riversong made the table runner using leftover fabrics from upholstery fabric. Its one large room so it kinda brings it all together I think - I am soo proud of the results and thank Deb from the bottom of my heart to inspire me to clean it all up so we can enjoy it!!!

Looks great!!! You will so enjoy having it all cleaned up and organized. :)

What a beautiful home and so nicely cleaned. I knew you could do it. I can honestly say that I have definitely been there, even though I try very hard to keep mine under control. Sometimes it is just a losing battle. Great job. I know you stood back and took a deep breath. WHEW.

Now for the sewing Room!!!

Looks good. Does your family think they are in a different house? I need some of that organization.

OMG looks wonderful. ANd you wanted to finish it before I had surgery. WEll, you did it with 23 hours to go. You rock. Everything is so nice and tidy. Although I inspired you to clean the sewing room and stash, you have inspired me too with all you do with your health issues. We are both survivors and will continue to support each other. Congrats - it's done. HUGS♥♥

This is really inspirational.

I realize that many people do not struggle with being a messy, but pictures do inspire those of us who struggle. :)

I am also in the middle of trying to "clean up my act" primarily by getting my sewing stuff mainly back in one room and cutting up all my scraps and getting that under control. Other things after that. I'm imagining which furniture can be relocated for use in the sewing room from other places which aren't really being used for much of anything (useful) where they are, etc.)

Your house is beautiful. I didn't see a "before" picture, but your "after" pictures are great. This is also very inspirational...

Couldnt have done it without you Deb!!! You are soo right - I wanted you to see it before your surgery - almost didnt make it lol We are definitely alike in more ways than one - your health issues have me beat but we ARE both survivors and I will always be there for ya and I know you will be for me!!! Thanks friend :thumbup: :D

You can click on the link in the post to see original mess. I have used many different things around the house too - the table for my sewing machine is actually a door that my dad had done when he worked for a tile company. I got the two filing units at Salvation Army for 7.50 a piece. Good luck on your oranization - it feels great!!!

Awesome :thumbup: :D ;)

Oh Cheryl.....looks soooo GOOOODDD now!!!

WOW! I am very very impressed! I so need to do something for my mess... I think I will get my niece over to help me out...she is good that way, loves organization. I have trouble grasping where to start on such a project!

Cheryl, what a beautiful home you are living in! You did a fantastic job cleaning and organizing, both thumbs up. You and Deb are truly an inspiration to many of us. Thanks for your encouragement.

Looks great!
