Patrick, that doesn't sound like cleaning, it sounds like making new piles
Sounds like something I need to do. I would try before and after pics, but that might be embarrassing...

Hi All
I also have a stamp room, two desks and a roll top desk, computer, scanner, piles of stuff to sort someday. A few boxes of stuff I said I was going to sort years ago.
I also have a window air conditioner for use during the summer time, as it tends to get hot where I live, so the air conditioner makes it comfortable when its too hot to go outside.
Some day I have to sort out everything and put everything away in a proper place, guess this is a dream, don't expect I'll ever get around to doing it. Besides its too much fun discovering stuff I had forgotten about. I do one thing, I keep a records for my collection, just a short note, date, amount paid, Scott number or short description, condition, misc. info. Helps later on.

I think pictures of everyone's "Stamp Room" would be a fun topic. I currently do not have a stamp room, just a stamp area. I will take pics of current projects, but my current stamp area happens to be my wife's craft table!
"I currently do not have a stamp room, just a stamp area. "
What, no pictures of the pristine stamp room? A clean stamp room is something to celebrate for posterity's sake.
By definition a "clean stamp room" belongs to someone who hasn't yet started to collect stamps.
Regards ... Tim.
Tim's right; a clean stamp room indicates I've died and my wife has brought in the garbage collectors
Is it cleaner than this?
These cabinets were installed today on one side of a 2-car garage in California, after I epoxy sealed the floor and repainted. The one on the left will hold album binders, stock and supplies--everything. The house is small, so that's all I get. If I fill it, something will have to go. The center console will be a work area with lamp and microscope; I prefer to work standing up. There will be a gel mat on the floor and a flat screen TV on the wall. Not visible here are 6 recessed can lights in the ceiling. The other side of the garage has matching low cabinets and a workbench. I almost don't want to put a car in here.
When I taught school, I had a plaque on my desk that read: "A clean Desk is the sign of a sick mind" - same goes for stamp rooms.
I just moved into my Stamp Emporium and it is essential that I keep this room clean, free from clutter and dust. I don't even have a garbage can in here. When there is something to be tossed it gets tossed when I leave the room. Everything is organized. I can find things! I'll post pictures later on. (that's 900 pixel, right?)
It took all weekend. It had gotten out of control. I feel like I just went to a stamp show or bourse with all the stuff I was rediscovering.
