A Revamped Workspace

I've been wanting to redo my workroom for quite awhile and finally the process has begun. It's shaping up quite nicely. But I say "process" because there are definite stages involved. It began with moving the daybed into what we've dubbed "the playroom", as opposed to the usual label of guestroom. So these are the before pictures:
The daybed was next to my sewing table, but instead of looking like this, most of the time it ended up looking like this:
or this:

But now in place of the daybed, I've moved the table from another wall, added shelves on the far side of the sewing table, cute thread racks and a "God is Good" magnetic banner given to me by dear friends and family for my b'day. Isn't it great?!!




I left it this way, feeling all spacious and neat, for about a week.
 I remember when I was younger (yes, I can still remember that long ago...) and I longed for a space to call my own and organize it for all of my projects. I was SO creative in finding places to stash everything. But each time I started a project, lots of "stuff" came out of hiding and was soon in the way.
Well, admitedly, that stashing syndrome is stilll with me. I've worked on it over the years (thank you, Flylady!  Check her out if your own "stuff" is overwhelming you! flylady.net ), but I'm definitely not to the point I'd like to be---yet.
As I was saying, I left it that way for about a week, and then decided to start the next step, as planned, and add another table for pulling out and organizing all of my pictures from the nearby closet.
Uh oh, I think it's going to take setting up another table. This isn't nearly all of the pictures. What have I started??!!
