declutter to create..

De clutter to create....


Wow what a mess...just drop it and leave it...drop it ..and there is always a room that is more important, that needs attention.  Well today is the multi tasking Back ..craft room's turn....Note this room also houses an extra fridge and upright freezer..
It took almost 4 hours to decide what to do with this and that...two garbage bags , 2 yard sale totes and a few runs to the woman cave and it is done!

Ahh....do not blink it will not stay this way for long.

Gnarly closet...I have not a clue of what I have shoved in here....mostly Ebay stuff...hey there is my fabric stash..



Ahh much better.  Yep not great but this place rotates a lot so I will be happy here....


The did I say thank you cabinet is not doing all the duty it should be...

A few things that I just do not need, nor need this much of, were cleaned out..New homes were found for once in a while items..and wow what a difference..yep fan was mounted on the ceiling...needed the space...
 Now to motivate my self to keep it this way.....

This post was solely intended for the purpose of motivation....I will need to clean this room again and again and again....
Hope this post finds You and the ones you Love Healthy, Happy and Blessed!

  8. If nothing else, Sheryl, this party motivates me to get my space cleaned up and put things away. I also wind up fixing up the storage I have or, in the case of this year's party, plan on ways to utilize certain areas better {like behind the door}. You look like you have a nice size space here. I love the desktop.

    1. I think that space is roughly 10x14 and it has a fridge and upright freezer in it...the desk top the hubby cut and installed..it is the prefect height...and great to use my silhouette and cricut on....I am always looking for more space and the issue that I have is I find new medium that does not have a particular place to be so I have to make another one..I agree the party is a motivator ..I also enjoy Stampington & Co. Where women Create mag. all of their publications are pricey but I treat my self to one every now and again....they have some great sewing magazines as well...not many advertisements ...and the ones they have are relavent to crafting...Thank you so much for stopping by..hope to run into you again....

  10. Hi Sheryl!! I think we have all seen our rooms in both states!! Mine starts out clean, and then after about 2-3 projects is a complete mess and I have to clean it up and start new! Otherwise I'd never find anything!! Thank you so much for showwing both the "before" and after!! It was fun!!!

    1. Karen..I just try to keep it real...Life it messy and crafting is really messy. One thing you may not find here at Red Tin Inn is perfection...however I hope you find inspiration to create ...Thank you for the lovely comment and Have a good one!
