Or just relocating in NJ? Seems like you've done little else but downsize and/or move stuff around for the last five years, between your mom's passing and your north/south travels. Hope it's all good, whatever. And yes, clearing out, downsizing, the whole schmear, feels GREAT!<br />xoxoCate Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079028386218370915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-39454423500047205602017-04-29T22:22:34.916-04:002017-04-29T22:22:34.916-04:00Clutter seems to pile up faster than I notice it h...Clutter seems to pile up faster than I notice it happening. Cleaning it out transforms the way the rooms look and seems to add so much space to the house.

My studios (two bedrooms that once were used by our 2 boys) are absolutely my happy place. Wishing you good luck with your new space - I love the Accessory Boxes from The Container Store (as well as their women's shoe and sweater boxes).

Again you prove that one person's trash is another person's treasure. I'm sure that even what you call butt ugly brown fabric will shine in somebody's eyes. If nothing else, it can make rugs! Or kids can use it! Don't throw it out!Charlottahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654576015036728600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-7891051863735799722017-04-28T15:50:41.198-04:002017-04-28T15:50:41.198-04:00I like that I have a bedroom just for fabric stora...I like that I have a bedroom just for fabric storage right next to my studio room. patty a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01861433552460661701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-79234324619416852582017-04-28T10:34:19.882-04:002017-04-28T10:34:19.882-04:00The thing I like the most about my space are the I...The thing I like the most about my space are the Ikea cabinets, picture stacked cubbies where I can fold and store my fabrics, by color.

I expanded my studio 3 years ago, and the thing I like the best is that it is divided between my sewing/cutting area and the large center work surface for printing/stamping/dyeing, etc. I have storage underneath, and 2 closets plus shelving for all my dye powders & books. However, I forgot to order a maid to clean up after me, so I still have to do that when I start tripping over the clutter! Other than that, it's an ideal space to create in...<br />Good luck thinning your stash... I know how hard that is!

This isn't even counting the sewing/craft room I have at home. It is home to a vintage pattern cabinet (I'll send a pic). I give away things but I also have things "dropped off" all the time.<br />Lori R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00186092404883985796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-47696298040556835622017-04-28T06:34:03.833-04:002017-04-28T06:34:03.833-04:00Isn't it relieving?

Funny -- just at the moment, I'm involved in the same kind of process, waiting for a new impulse to come which should get me into contact with fabric again. And we are planning to renovate my studio/bedroom. Have been mostly writing because this won't give me space to ponder; and painting has been my main way to express my pleasure in color and shape. For 2 years, I haven't touched fabric any more -- as a result of a major change. Some day, I will be back in my heaps of scraps.
