In a previous post, I shared that the Hubster and I were painting and changing out the flooring in my sewing studio.
One would think the green paint was very bright, and it was, but it absorbed light, and as it cheery as it was, I needed more light (I am not getting any younger).
Also, the flooring was chipped and dented. The black and white was fun, but time to go.
The room is now painted with two soft gray colors (The same as the rest of the house, but keeping it the same makes small repairs easier…only two paint colors to keep on hand.).
I offered to help, but the Hubster did the flooring by himself, and I am very grateful!
That flooring was a lot of work!
I wasted no time moving back in!
There are still things to do. The Hubster is going to custom cut peg board to fit a couple of odd angles and the rulers that are piled on the sewing table will be hung up.
The tv is not a ‘smart’ tv…I can play dvd movies with it, but no streaming, no cable, no YouTube… unless I hook my pc up to it. It might get replaced one of these days.
I spent a few days cutting fabric for pillowcase kits.
I am so happy to say that eleven cardboard bolts of various lengths of fabric are now empty and out the door!
And those pillowcases will be sewn and given as donations and gifts.
The plan is to use the fabric this year, not simply pet it. Ha, ha!
So this is my big declutter/organization project this year! And it is already done!
How are y’all doing with your declutter/organization plans?
Have fun and carry on!

“The plan is to use the fabric this year, not simply pet it. Ha, ha!” Ha Ha back at ya! Great idea – but a petting in passing is acceptable IMHO.
Your space has come together nicely, and I’ll bet you don’t miss those lime walls at all. The times they are a changin’ – in a good way like with these studio changes!

I never said I wasn’t still petting fabric! We all know better, don’t we! Ha, ha!
You are right. I don’t miss the lime walls. There are other ways to bring in the green. For example, I am keeping my green sewing chair and the stuffed frog. 🙂
