Before the perfection disappears.
(Warning! This is a photo-heavy post.)
It took 40 days and 40 nights...well, more like 3 days and 3 nights, but still.

Each WIP has its own box. Thanks Jodi! (UFOs are combined in other boxes until I feel like working on them.) I have 10 actual WIPs. Ones I'm working on. My new unwritten rule is that I can't start a new project until I finish one. So, no more than 10 at a time. Doable, right?
Scraps are in their own boxes too. By color.
I didn't get a before photo of the closet but, trust me, it was just as bad as the rest. As in, the doors couldn't close!
To the left is stationery and stuff. On the floor to the right is my new baby.
And then there's fabric organization.
It doesn't look like a lot but, using the method I did, you can stuff a LOT of fabric in a box!
Blue & Aqua
Red & Pink
Purple, Yellow, Green
The rest
I'm SO excited about all this! I feel like I can now move mountains.
(Edited to add: I used these tips to organize the fabric.)

ReplyDeleteWow, it looks great What a tranformation! I saw some plastic containers the other day I will get them on payday. You have inspired me to get mine sorted. Sewing room here I come...
ReplyDeleteWow! would you come do this to MY sewing room? Pretty please?
ReplyDeleteAnina,
ReplyDeleteYou did an awesome job reorganizing your space. Mine's in desperate need too.
Awesome! Your room feels ready for more creativity and lots of projects. What a fun place to work in.
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely wonderful and orderly, Anina!
ReplyDeleteIt just frees SO much energy to get such a job done. WIP, here you come :oD
Ooo, great job!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I'm drooling over your fabric and the organization. I work in total disarray moving one project to work on the next. Occasionally I even finish something and clean up that part of the mess.
ReplyDeleteOoohhh, wow, you did a great job!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks GREAT and I'll bet you feel so productive in there now. I need an intervention of this sort.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Doesn't it just feel great when everything is in it's spot?! I am almost done with my room, and the creativity just flows like a raging river, so get ready for some insomnia to kick in if you spend a lot of time in that room right before bedtime.
ReplyDeleteAhhh!! Organization is the key to a less stressful life, right? At least, I know I am less stressed when I am organized. I hope this brings you less stress too. It looks beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great job! Looks awesome!
ReplyDeletelooks GREAT!!! i love getting stuff like that done. love looking at your fabrics also. i recognize some of them.:) have fun moving those mountains:)
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic. Great job!
ReplyDeleteusually my husband asks when I show him AFTER: For how long? :) It makes me mad.
ReplyDeleteIt's almost obscene... but, you know, in a good way! Congratulations on your success. I am in awe.
ReplyDeleteWow! What a transformation. That is fabulous. Can you come over and do my quilty room next? :)
ReplyDeleteI may just get inspried enough to clean up a corner of my room too!

It looks wonderful Anina! Now, just think about all the projects you're going to finish!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great Anina! :) I love the idea of putting each w.i.p. in a separate box (and limiting yourself to a certain number of boxes :). Very nice!
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! It looks fantastic! Great job!
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm so impressed! I love how wonderful the shelves look. Aren't those plastic bins amazing when it comes to organizing?! Love that part too. I bet you love having so much work space to spread out. Kudos to you for finishing your organization task so well!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations...bet you feel like a million bucks now that's done. I tackled a bug bear of a cupboard today and hope I can keep the momentum going!
ReplyDeleteOver the years I have accumulated way too much fabric! Now most of it sits in storage 45 miles from here! You put me to shame!! But I ongratulate you nevertheless! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about feeling like you can move mountains. It is amazing how productive you will be now that everything is all organized. I am so happy for you!!
ReplyDeleteWow! You did a fab job. I love looking at all the colors in the fabric. I think I am going to organize this way.
ReplyDeleteFeel free to come on over to my house~you're amazing!
ReplyDeleteWow! It looks great! My craft room is currently under construction, I can't wait to organize... I'm going to use that WIP bin idea too (much better than in a pile in a drawer). ;D
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! You have project boxes! And it looks amazing! A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it. Gives me goose pimples!
Incredible organization, it's beautiful! You have so many nice fabrics, looking at all those (from the top) photos of organized pretty fabrics made me want to sew! =)
ReplyDeleteaaauhhhhhhh..... a sigh of relief.
