We have discovered here at the Perkins-Fields house that my art room is simply not working out. With my All Dressed Up business growing, I am afraid the "creative mess" has grown also...right into the dining room, livingroom and our bedroom. YUP...I am admitting to it! The great big mess clean up I did last spring is falling apart!
The big debate is wether we should TRY to clean out the existing art space and fit everything...including me, into it. THIS is what it looked like on a really good day last year:
Now, once again I can not walk through it!
So back to the debate...do we leave it in the existing space, or do we take this existing space and use it as Scott's and my bedroom and make the master bedroom the Art room?
The master bedroom is larger, BUT our clothes and bureaus would have to stay in it as there isn't room in the art area.
I would be more accountable to clean up as we have to walk through the master bedroom to get to the bathroom.
The existing art room is MUCH warmer...our bedroom is the coldest room in the house and frankly it is uncomfortable in the winter.
Regardless of what we do I have to get rid of a great deal of STUFF. I am much more focused on the All Dressed Up business, and so I need to part with the primitive craft making stuff I have. I am still a scrapbooker, but my focus is getting pictures into scrapbooks now...rather than creating all kinds of home decor, rubberstamping and such. I can part with alot of scrapping/rubberstamping stuff because of this!
The debate goes on, I am afraid the bedroom is not a bigger space since we would have to keep the clothing and such in there. I am on the fence about the move. Scott is "Let's Do It!". Nate thinks it's a dumb idea. And Lauren? I am not sure she has weighed in as her focus is on getting ready to move out of the nest I have created for her for 20 years, and into her own nest!
What should I do?
Dancingly, Denise
