My room starts out nice and clean, but by the time I am done it is a disaster. And, no matter that I have 3 long counters to work on and the island in the center, before long I am working in a space smaller than a sheet of card stock! But, I seem to be more creative this way! The more mess, the more the creative juices flow...to see what it looks like clean, see the older pics. of my room in my gallery.

I'm right there with ya! I used to have a sign on my desk that read "Creative minds are rarely tidy." I think it might be buried under something now. Love all your space!

Anyone deep in the process of doing anything gets right into (look at Charlie on Numb3rs) it and then afterwards sits back and notices... ohmygosh what a mess... okay well that's my excuse I'm glad to see that I'm not alone. I just designate Tuesdays as my cleaning my room day and I actually look forward to it cause I usually find something that inspires me to make a mess again... I mean something to create honestly that's what I meant.

I am right there with you. Not only do my desk tops look like that I am literally stepping over piles to get to things in my room (and I am short). Now I am creative and getting excercise as well (hopping/stepping over the piles). I would honestly at least once in my lifetime have a room nice and clean for at least a weekend. (Probably wouldn't be able to use it though for fear of messing it up LOL so that would defeat the purpose).
