i have been working on clearing my studio out to prepare for the new flooring.  it isn't going to work.  well, it would work - it is exactly possible but...i would need to spend all of my free time for the next few weeks indoors and working on moving everything to this side of the house, lay the floor and then move it all to that side of the house and lay the floor there.  then reassemble.  only to redo yet again when my away-from-home studio comes home.  i choose no.  i gave 1 very full-and-not-over-yet day to  clearing out some of a 10' work table.  i have a trunk load of stuff for the free pile, and the garbage men will hate me next wednesday.  but it is more important to me to have the spring and summer outside.  or  just not doing this project.  again.  so i'll finish clearing out the table (all the storage beneath, as well as the top), and see if we can turn it so it's facing short to long, instead of long to short.  that feels like a better configuration.  and so much of the stuff stored below was just stuff.  things i held onto for what reason?  who knows.  but away it will go.  next weekend is the community-wide garage sale, and i had hoped to pick up a chaise for this studio, but i honestly don't know if i want 1 more stick of furniture in here!  yes i do :)  i envision a bright raspberry chaise in leather or plether or some easy-wipe fabric that's paint and kitty resistant.  ok, back to work.
