For the past year, I have been complaining about my business taking over my entire house. I have small rooms, except for my bedroom and I used every room except my kitchen ( and bathrooms) for my business. This ended up causing total disorder to my house, because I had " stuff" all over my house. I had one room for sewing. I used my dining room table for cutting the fabric. My guest room was a
storage/display room for pillows, etc. My bedroom has my computer in it, and I sometimes sat in front of the TV at night while hand sewing. I've thought about converting my bedroom into my office/work room/shop, but I kept finding reasons not to like I would lose my master bath or the guest room is too small. But after being in business almost 6 years, and so tired of feeling like my house was so disorderly I finally realized I needed to bite the bullet! Now I am actually very excited about it! I slept in my new room (guest room) for the last 2 nights and I slept better than I have in a long time! I can now have my computer, printer, my sewing machine, work table, fabric, sewing supplies, items I use for vendor events, and all my handmade items stored or "displayed" in one room!!
In order to do this I will actually be moving furniture around from 4 different rooms, re-organizing almost everything I own from every room, (even the bathrooms!) and getting rid of one piece of furniture, my queen size bed. I have already started re-organizing & moving small items and furniture, and my house is already in total disarray! There are things sitting out all over the house waiting to be put in their new home. I am finding out as I go that this re-vamping includes re-arranging so many things- clothes, books, dishes, linens, jewelry, & even cleaning rags! Who knew??
This was where I displayed my items, & guest room but will be my new room soon!
Of course, I'm not sure there is a way to re-organize without your house looking a complete mess for at least a period of time. I am hoping to get my new "shop/office" whipped into shape soon!
Later on Wednesday. . . . I just found someone to take the queen size bed that I need to give away!! After a couple phone calls, it looks like the big " MOVE" will be taking place on Saturday!! Who Hoo!!
