My New Studio Space

I've had a hectic week, thus no posting for a while! With one of my daughters moving out a spare room was created. I was sorry to see her go however it meant I could move my 'studio' from the dining room up to it's own contained space. Three coats of white paint later I have a fresh blank canvas of a room to create in! I am still getting used to having a well set up space; so organized with 3 set-ups; one for sewing, one for card making and one for the computer. I still need to adorn the walls with some favorite artwork although I don't want to add too much at this point. The calmness is refreshing and I can focus on the color in the work I am doing.

Fabulous Bookcase

Recently I have been on a re-decorating mission at our house. The kids aren't little anymore and it's O.K. to have an adult space now. I began by taking everything away, repainted, stained the floors and then edited in a big way and only brought back what was essential & beautiful. However, what I felt we needed was one, unifying piece to hold our things in, that kept the look calm and grounded.
One day while out and about I saw this piece in a unique store that sold interesting imported furniture and objects. I immediately could visualize it in the room; my husband was more practical and measured and wondered.... but I prevailed and here it is! I enjoy it every day in that it keeps the space from ever looking cluttered or disjointed. The older I get the more harmony I feel I need in my surroundings...
