Believe it or not, my intension was NOT to buy any fabric when I stopped by the discount fabric warehouse on the way home from work today. Really. Honestly. Do you believe me?!?
But...
You know how it goes. I found a couple fabrics that I thought were too cute to pass up and at this place, if you don't pounce on it, you might never find it again...seriously. I've been reading some quilting blogs lately and really getting some great ideas of things to try as soon as the home office/creative space is all sorted and put back together. It is a complete mess right now! And that is what I'm up to this weekend. I think I should give it a name like Project...Organization...(no)...Streamline...(that's terrible)...oh, I got it...Project "I am not a Hoarder". Perfect.
Last weekend was round one. I was able to go through quite a few boxes and tossed three garbage bags worth of stuff and have another three that are for either selling or giving away! The big shelf that was in there is now happily installed in it's new place in the basement and waiting to receive whatever boxes of things I need to keep, but don't need at my fingertips. I also was able to find a spot for a big cushy chair that was in the basement! Since I'm trying not to spend any money on this revamp (except maybe some paint later on) it's not all going to be "matchy-matchy", but more of an eclectic look, using the things we already have in the house. When I was looking at the room, deciding where everything was going to work the best, I realized that I have a lot of things that still need to go in the room, but I think it will be way more functional than before and hopefully, a little prettier.
So this weekend is round two. Finish going through everything and hopefully get everything where it needs to be. This is kind of an ambitious goal, but I'm up for a challenge. Painting and getting things on the walls and windows might not happen right away, but I'll get to that eventually too. Should I admit that I'll also hoping for a rug...eventually?
Wow, this feels like the longest post EVER! If you've made it this far, you're amazing! Thanks for sticking in there. See you tomorrow. :)
