Everything has a place - I just need to be sure I put it back in that place when I'm done with it! I thinking having a nice environment to work and be creative in is important. Our basement is less than pleasant all on it's own since it is unfinished, but when adorned in vintage fabric goodness - it's a kitschy and eclectic place. I used vintage sheets and table cloths to cover the vinyl insulation (we call it diaper walls). Since I can't paint it, the only other option is to cover it.
Well - I'd better be off to get to work! Things to photograph, list and ship!
What sort of work space do you have? Messy, clean, cluttered, kitschy, simple....
