I'm with you. I need my sewing room to be orderly. I'm distracted by chaos. However, as you point out some very creative people have no problems at all with a sewing room that would drive me nuts. :-) My quilting space is in an open area between two bedrooms--kind of like a loft, except that the house is all on one floor. (Does that make sense?) Anyway, besides the fact that I work better in a tidy space, I like to have it somewhat neat for the occasional visitor who may walk through.
