Sewing Room Reorganisation Update

As promised, this post is an update on my progress reorganising my sewing room. Having finally painted the storage drawers and put them to use and having received the underbed storage bags for my vintage bed linen this week, I was finally able to complete the last few organising tasks and I've now just about got as far as I can with the room for the moment.

I've explored and unearthed every item in every nook and cranny of the room and wittled them down to the absolute minimum I can bear to keep for the moment.  I may get brave and reduce stuff further at some future point, but I'm more or less happy with the state of affairs for now, as it is a vast improvement on before and much more streamlined.

What still isn't streamlined is the surface of the bed, so I haven't posted a picture of this part of the room.  Until we eat the food, use the cleaning and toiletry products and I can take the donations to the charity shop and Give and Take, it will remain cluttered, but as you can see, the rest of the room is looking much better.

Here's the before video again:

And here's and after video: (in which you'll also be introduced to my new VE Day dance partner Bert!)

I have to admit that I can't wait to clear the bed completely and have a totally clutter free room, but some things I have to be a little more patient and wait for. I'll post a picture at some point in the future when it is back to being a normal uncluttered spare bedroom/sewing room

I can tell that the whole nation has been carrying out similar jobs, just by the amount of storage solutions that appear to have sold on eBay in recent weeks. I have to say that I find the prospect of being inundated with stuff at work quite a scary one, once this is all over. I think the influx will be unprecedented, but I'm not complaining, so long as people come in to buy it, as it will boost the coffers of the charity, which is much needed at the moment.

It's been an enjoyable task overall and has kept me sane for the last couple of weeks of lockdown and given me a sense of purpose.  At least I will go back to work knowing that I have done at least one useful thing during my time off. I now have to find a new task to amuse myself for the next few weeks.  I wonder what it will be this time.
