I HAD to do something. I used to use my dining room table, then I moved to a tiny bedroom on the first floor. The problem is, I am a terrible mess. When I work, I have to have everything all spread out. I like to be able to get up and leave everything right where it is until I get the opportunity to come back to it. That doesn't work so well with DH on the dining room table or a bedroom guests walk by. (I can't blame him either) Now my room is in the back of the basement with a nice door I can close when things get messy!
