That's the good news.
The bad news is that it will require time, energy, paint, patching, organizing, and no doubt reorganizing, and lots of swearing. And a trip to Ikea (wait, I love Ikea! That might be good news).
So, I've started on the organizing, anyway. Some of the furniture has been shifted, some not, it's a bit of an awkward puzzle, and involves moving, among many things, a computer desk and a large doll house, so it's not happening very quickly.
And while I'd like to say this was a well thought out plan, no, it's a last minute shift that has thrown my life into confusion... More confusion, I suppose. And I haven't sewn a thing since Sunday, and only got to sew then because we had a sew in at the Ann Arbor Modern Quilt Guild... My sewing stuff at home is strewn about in preparation of changes. And reoganizing!
But I did accomplish something last night; I turned this:

| Ye olde scrap pile. |
No, I'm joking. I didn't throw it all away! However, I did fill this trash can from the scrap bin; it was empty before I started. I threw away anything that was under an inch wide, anything on a strange substrate, and a few odd bits, you know, that stuff. And some things, I'm giving away. It took, I kid you not, about 5 hours (and truthfully, I did it a few hours at a time over the course of three days - but I did finish last night).
And I found some treasures for sure in that pile! I'll post a few of my finds later.
The rest I sorted by color into bags, for now. I've ordered clear plastic shoe boxes for them, as recommended to me by a friend. I've cleared off my shelves in preparation for that... And now I just have to wait for them to arrive! Impatiently! In the meantime, I can always start on reorganizing my fat eighth and fat quarter storage...
