Somehow, while I was working away in the garden all summer, my studio turned into a dumping ground. How did this happen??
And now that it's time for me to step back in and get creative again...well, ugh, it was so un-motivating. So everything came out. A fresh coat of white paint went on walls, floor, worktable, etc.
And now it's all moved back in and even a little cozier than it was initially (I took a few more shots if you want to see...they're over here). I really like it. It won't stay neat and uncluttered, it never does. But I'm feeling so much better about going in there and getting busy.
Amazing what fresh, white paint and a little decluttering will do for one's attitude isn't it?
I get to be first comment? YAY. I LOVE your studio...see that you have old storage drawers of card file cabinets or such. Love those. Happy creating!
xo, Cheryl

How very awesome that you have post office boxes! Also, you've really inspired me to just put my own little creations everywhere. I've done that some but why not more? Your space is wonderful. Thanks for sharing the pictures!

aw! your space! what a great place, love your large center table, I always wanted a table that I would roam around but my space is long and narrow. would love to dig and paw through your things! Bring on the clutter and get creating! (I always work best when there is less then a inch left of empty table space myself! the creative mind is never a tidy place I fear!)
Happy Creating~

I think you could sell tickets to this amazing space dear girl! It is good to see you are up and creating. I aquired a similar table this summer and LOVE the work space. Oh and that adorable pale blue desk chair of yours! Have a sweet Summer's end! XO
