I spent the first days of 2012 cleaning out my storage room. You know... the room in every house that becomes the hub/stashing place/floor-to-ceiling pile-up for all things... and I mean - ALL things.
I cleaned... I cleaned some more...
and... I have more to clean. Believe it or not, these are NOT the "before" pictures... nor are they the "in-the-middle-of" pictures...
these are the "as it stands right now" pictures after three days of moving stuff, moving more stuff, getting rid of stuff, burn pile stuff... I forgot I had carpet in there. I even thought I had lost my cat in there and was skeert he wouldn't come out alive.
And no, I REALLY can't believe I'm showing you these pictures. But... *shrug*... I'm a storage room disaster. That is the ugly truth. Even worse? This isn't even the whole room...
comin' to you LIVE from a single-wide where I would think I was a hoarder if I didn't actually USE this stuff and/or have the ability to get rid of it. *giggle* What did you do for your New Year's week-end? Aren't you glad you weren't in my hood? I woulda put you to work. Oh, wait! I still can!!! What time should I be expecting you? hee-hee

Wow! You do have a great stash of fabrics, Robelyn.
ReplyDeleteWe ate, drank & slept.
Happy New Year.
Have a beautiful day ~

Um, wow! Looks like my entire house right now. I'm in the middle of 'the Christmas is put away and now there is the rest of the mess to clean' mode. But it will have to wait. I'm off to the shop! Good luck with your room!!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...I don't feel so alone anymore. Well, at least you have a pretty chandelier. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteHere's some more "ugly truth"... that's not even CLOSE to all of the fabric! LOL! This is just the storage room... we have the sewing room, another storage room and a locker unit full! AUGH!!! I should get busy sewing and forget the room. LOL!
ReplyDeleteBut there's always a light at the end of the tunnel...i.e. (like how I got all fancy with my abbreviations?) that gorgeous chandelier hanging above Mt.Neverest!
ReplyDeleteDeb
Looks good to me -- there is floor showing! We just finished Christmas this past weekend. Now I have that to put away and then maybe I can make a dent in my mess of a sewing room. What did you end up doing for a new apron? Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteHey girl,
ReplyDeleteI feel right at home! We're birds of a feather!
Diane
wow! I wish I had a storage room, sigh. I do have stuff all over the house too and in the garage as well. I get a bit paralyzed when trying to clean up because I don't have a spot for it :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
I think that most people have a room or space that needs some help. I have been busy mucking out the laundry room that spills out into the craft studio and so on and so on. No sooner than one project is done, another must be done and it feels overwhelming. Thank you for sharing your progress. I get it and you are inspiring me to get back at it. By the way, I see lots of interesting things in there, including that pretty chandy.

My studio looks almost as bad(have been working on cleaning it a little at a time for a week). Want to come help me when you are finished with yours? Or maybe we could start a support group and get them clean together. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteyou/your room are a work in progress! :) The reason you're okay with sharing this with us, is that you KNOW we are just the same! lol

Guess it depends on which "hood" I would be in. XO
ReplyDeleteWow that's a lot of fabric, but at least it's neatly folded. I cleaned my back porch and actually felt like I was on horders, three piles, trash, donate, and keep for resale and then had to keep convincing myself I have to get rid of things. Boy can I accumulate stuff quickly. Hope the first few days of the New Year are going great for you.
ReplyDeleteoh to ME that looks like a PLAY room!!
ReplyDeleteAnd when can you come here and make my roomS look this organized???
Wait....that looks exactly like my studio! And that is in its clean state. I'm not kidding. Well, yours may be a little neater than mine;)lol

I can help you clean out that stash by taking about 100 pounds of fabric from you. Sea Witch
ReplyDeleteDamn... I was going to say, your room looks like you belong on 'Hoarders!' HAR!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's a good good thing you don't cook in that room...
Happy New Year, Gobbles...
~shoes~
Compared to the mess in my garage, your space looks totally organized- ha! Way to go, you're making great progress!
ReplyDeleteGirl,
ReplyDeleteI was doing the same thing...in my kitchen! I can't tell you how many trips I made to Goodwill. The Hubster is a kitchen gadget 'ho, so if you're wanting an infomercial kitchen widget the Goodwill in McKinney has lots.:)
Wow I love that big wall of fabric! Creative people do need alot to work with !! lol
ReplyDeleteWOW !! I love that wall for fabric!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's why I do have a storage unit!!! I know people say that once it's in thee you'll never use it again. So wrong! I go back and forth to my storage all the time. When my room gets to be so full and packed with crap, I just can't think, I can't make anything! So, I haul it to storage, organize it there and then come home feeling so relieved. The secret is, get an climate control unit. It's not as expensive as you think and it might help you keep your sanity!! Miss you sweet girl, see you this spring! xox-cindy
ReplyDeleteI would be in heaven with all that stash to create with!
ReplyDeleteHope your day is wonderful!
LuLu~*xoxo
Who ever said that creativity was NEAT??!! It looks like a big stash of wonderful to me :)
ReplyDeleteHappy creating,
Teresa
Heck, that isn't bad at all! I took over three rooms in my house including the front livingroom as my workspace. They all are worse than that! I love the red neck chic brown bags!
ReplyDeleteMy study/computer room and the guest room both look like that. Not sure what i'll do. I'm trying to use what I have and not buy new stuff, for starter.
ReplyDeleteKathy
Just think of all the beauties that will be born after you are all prettied up and organized!
ReplyDeleteI, too, spent the first weekend of 2012 sorting and rearranging. We are all a pathetic lot!
ReplyDeleteHeeheeehe..not anytime soon..I got my own trash to deal with! ;)
