this is what covering, packaging, and packing 400 buttons looks like
This is just the middle of my desk. Well, of the sewing desk. It's been this messy for days. Time to clean it up!

Before: my Ikea Fira chest. Used next to my sewing table to hold interfacing and misc. little bits like snaps and extra needles.
You can tell that I just quickly covered it when I got it and never did much to it. (And it's been 3 years already!)
After: a light coat of pink spray paint and some paper from Basic Gray and SEI. And while this is an awful pic, there are fabric covered buttons for knobs.
Done following this tutorial!
I should really redo the pic!

Clean!
There was afternoon motivation...
Shelves were cleared off and rearranged. Supplies were found...and tossed. (Glue doesn't last forever!) Furniture was moved and moved out...
I now have one free wall for just my sewing and cutting table. I still have to hang up two big bulletin boards and my create banner, but for the most part it's perfect. Oh, and I still need to clean up the antique dressmaker's dummy in the garage; I'm going to put it into the corner there next to the sewing machine and use it for photographing my bags and whatnot for my shop. (It's next on my to-do list as I'm pretty amped up excited about getting it in here!)
Just a wide shot of the room to show off how uncluttered it now looks. While not in the picture, the fabric cabinet is now in the closet and up against the wall opposite the red one is my big white bookcase full of storage containers, everything organized and in it's place.
It just feels so much better in here!

My workspace...
My machine, which I've had for about a two years now. I love it, but I do see fancier machines I'd like to try. You know, upgrade. Then I wonder, why try them when you don't even know how to use the button hole function on this one? I don't care what anyone says...this thing is a work horse.
My work table...which I HATE. In the corner up against is a big white book case and while that book case houses some important items I use all the time, it makes me feel like I have less space than I actually do. Couple that with the fact that next to that is the cabinet where I keep my fabric and then there's the table where I use the sewing machine...and I feel like I'm boxed in.
And finally, my fabric collection. Whenever I've got the money to burn on new fabric, I always think have too much. Whenever I want to do a new project, I always think I don't have enough. Go figure.
