Did you notice the most important part of this post. I'm putting new flooring in my sewing room. That means I have to empty my sewing room. Empty. Yikes! Double Yikes!
I have until a week from Tuesday to do it. My husband says, "just throw it in some boxes". Is he kidding? You don't do that...not to a sewing room. You carefully go through everything. You make piles. You throw some away (a very small pile). You pass some on to friends (another small pile). You reminisce over some. You drool over some. And then you pack it in boxes. And when you put it all back in you rearrange everything from your nice, neat, cleaned out and sorted boxes.
I'm also replacing my bedroom floor. It'll take me about 10 minutes to pack that room. :)
Happy New Floor!!!
ReplyDeleteI laughed over the time line for packing up one room to the other!! Priorities!
ReplyDeleteGreat thoughts!! Yes, we need our priorities in place. The new flooring will be so easy to take care of! Have a great day..
ReplyDeleteYay for new flooring and a toast to finding things you don't remember having when you have to go through your stuff!
ReplyDeleteEmptying my sewing room would be a big big problem. Good luck. Maybe you will find some treasures while you are doing it.
ReplyDeleteThe new floor sounds divine! But the emptying the sewing room - the timeline needs to be a couple of months at least! lol I'm sure it will be worth all of the work! ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea to have a new floor, BUT emptying the sewing room???!!! offfff.
ReplyDeletethink you will find a lot of fabrics you didn't remember... and why on earth you bought it.. :-)
Good luck.
Ha! We can all relate to the packing. You will love the new floor.
ReplyDeleteI feel for you since I just had to do all that too. My house is full of boxes of laminate waiting to be put down. We have some other things like painting and redo our master bath before we lay the flooring.
ReplyDeleteOh I wish I could do that. Just take a deep breath girlie. You can do this.
ReplyDeleteOh I had to laugh!!!! Yep, it's all about the sewing room and stash LOL!!! The rest of the house can be tossed in boxes willy-nilly, but our sewing stuff deserves our most careful respect :*) Good luck! You will be so happy in your new area, all clean and fresh and newly organized!
ReplyDeleteI'm in the process of packing my whole house for a move. What room did I start with first, while I still had energy? My sewing room. It's the one that I packed the neatest and labeled carefully. Good luck. Your floors will be lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy greenhouse/bedroom has a hole through the rotten wood and needs a new floor. Good thing I cn't afford to have it fixed because there is no way to empty that room! (And the sewing stuff isn't even there)!
ReplyDeleteLove it...men! They just don't get it.
ReplyDeleteYou simply must take before, during, and after pictures of your sewing room floor makeover. It sounds wonderful, and when it looks fabulous, we want to really appreciate what you went through to get it. Besides, I'll probably be doing the same thing someday, and it will be helpful to know in advance what to expect. Enjoy the process - especially knowing you don't have to return to a job. (You don't, do you?!)
ReplyDeleteSounds about right to me what do husbands know about these things . Can't wait to see the new floor.
ReplyDeleteHey, nothing like a little motivation! You'll have it all done in time to relax and enjoy your Colorado trip and have it to come home to. Just finished the photo book with our trip last year in it--wish you could pack me in your suitcase!
ReplyDeleteHi my sweet..you made me laugh yes you do....and I adore your stitching cozy spot....now that would be perfect place for me to join you...soooo a new floor...funny you say that...when we were building I knew what my sewing room was going to look like I wanted carpet, because my room faces the north...but I went with wood floors...sooo glad I did cannot believe the amount of threads that gather even on my shelves....yesterday I went out...and I had alllll these threads on my skirt....guess everyone knew I was a quilter...or thinks she is....want to see lots of pics..
ReplyDeleteLol...oh such packing fun you are gonna have. Enjoy !,,,,,
ReplyDeleteit sure does take awhile to go through a sewing room - might as well reorganize seeing as you have to!
ReplyDeleteYour room looks like a such a nice place to work! I will be interested to see how you like the vinyl flooring. We are looking to do that in our mudroom.
ReplyDeleteMy sewing always seems to grow when I try to organize it. Happy sorting!
