I bit the big one...and actually cleaned my room today. Well, almost cleaned it. I still have to sort through
a. beading & jewelry supplies
b. sewing notions, buttons, and trim
c. add-ons/potential doll stuff
But considering the room was so crapped out there wasn't even room to put my paint plate on the table, I think it's a good start. I had to fight like Superman against the Kryptonite of the dreaded distractions "....oh, but THIS could be used for..." and "Oh COOL! I didn't know I had THIS!"
Here are some pictures of the room. On the left are two wall cabinets (first pic shows one) that hold maybe eight large plastic tubs of fabric, and above it are potential doll supplies, etc. The right side is for sewing, the center table is where I sculpt/paint/build dolls. The Hubs made a couple of peg-boards for me over the last couple years, so I have the Hobby Supplies all strung up everywhere, and ribbon goes on dowels. It's an organized mess, but now I know where it all is, AND I can actually walk all the way around the central table. :~) HUGE difference from this morning. :~)

Love the cd rack turned paint holder! How did you hang your dowel rod to hold ribbon? Ribbon is the bane of my existence, I never know how to store it.
ReplyDeleteI thread it onto a dowel, then put cup-hooks in the wall, and loop the ends of the dowel into circles of ribbon...do a zoom and maybe you can see them. It works to let it hang out from the wall.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOkay, you are officially my new hero! I have GOT to do this. Last night I tried to paint and I had about 6 sqaure inches. AND I kept getting polyfill fibers in the paint - lol! I hope to start this weekend. Your work area looks gorgeous! xox Pam
