Because usually it's only this clean in my dreams! This morning I sweet-talked DH into helping me move an un-used dresser into my quilt room to put under my big cutting table. The cutting table is just 2 hollow-doors screwed together and set on top. Originally there was a small bookcase under it:
You can't see the whole thing in this picture, but you get the idea. It was "OK" but always messy looking and just not big enough. The cutting top dwarfed it, and had to be held to the wall in back with brackets. There was a ton of stuffed jammed in beside and behind the little bookcase, and it was a solid hour of pulling everything apart - not even taking time to play with any of it! Then Hunny brought in some risers to put under the dresser, because it was just shy of being tall enough for me - I'm tall so I want the cutting table up there too. 
Having all this room to store stuff means you have to dig it out from wherever it's stuffed, and get it organised into the new space. Somehow, this task took me all day, and I ended up with an immaculate quilt room! Whoop-pee! I took lots of pics, so I can remember this. The only thing I didn't tackle today was the monster stash; it's a mess too because I'm not too good about folding stuff and putting it back neatly. I even forgot to eat lunch. Towards the evening I had to put on some bumpin' rock music to keep me going, and now I'm all worn out but can't seem to tear myself away to go to bed. Think Hunny would mind if I slept here?

Awesome, Su Bee!! I worked on my cutting table (clearing) all afternoon yesterday too, but my room, even at it's best will never look as neat and organized as yours! And I'm soooo jealous!!! ROFL
My room is a mess right now because I'm in the middle of 5! *glup* projects: 2 quilts in the block stage, a vest repair, a hat repair, and a wall hanging to quilt. Of course, there's the quilt over the back of the rocking chair that needs to be shipped to it's owner, but I've gotta find a box. Happy New Year!
My word, girl! What a gorgeous room - yeah, I know -- it will get messed up, but you've given the rest of us hope for improvements, even if only temporary. Pat yourself on the back and DH's back also. Great job!
WOW - what an awesome sewing room you have. Right now my room is still kinda neat and tidy and it's restricting me - argh! I think I need to remedy that fast.
Hey, we have the same Horn table!! and almost the same "Blog" name.
I love the "neatnick" idea. But, alas, it only last until the next project is started!!!
Your room looks wonderful! I'm also tall and cutting at a short table hurts every muscle in my back. Putting the doors together is a good idea...might use that.
