I bought myself a new sewing machine cabinet and decided to paint my sewing room a not-too-bright yellow last week, before it arrived. I figured I'd just paint around my cabinets rather than move them, since when we sell this place (in 10 years or so, when DH retires) I'll have to repaint anyway. I did, however, decide to remove my stash from the open shelving and remove the shelves and paint behind them.
When I started I had absolutely no room for more fabric; my shelves were full. I removed my stash, stacking it in my family room, and removed the shelves. DH looked at it and said, "How the hell much fabric do you have?" Luckily for him, he was grinning when he said it. :)
I painted, replaced the shelves, and replaced my stash. I have the equivalent of 2-24" shelves empty now! How did that happen? Now I have to buy more. Darn it-a quilter's work is never done!
