floor finish

I can't believe it, but my sewing room floor is clean and as tidy as it is going to get.  It went from this

embarrassing

to this. 

I spent 6 weeks sorting through procrastinated messes and organizing better. I tried to remove as much as possible by donating or gifting. There is still too much packed into the room. I also tried to locate often used items closer to me.

These were all over the room wherever I could lean them


scrap bins


I can walk straight to my machine

 still more to go

cutting table

I decided my may project was to do the same thing to my fabric and ironing board room for May. oh, and my cutting table.

    Your diligence has paid off! The floor is beautiful (I miss the maple floors in the older houses we lived in).

    Lovely floor, and good job on organizing, donating, and gifting! I'm afraid my instinct is to mess everything up as soon as it's put away!

    Congrats on taming the mess, Maggie! My studio still has more boxes left to unpack from our move... I really, really need to follow your lead! It's been more than a year and a half. Sigh...
