I've shared a bit here and there about our formal living room and my plans to transform it into a more usable space. I still have a wish list for this room, and will continue to share updates as things progress, but I am just thrilled to now have a space of my own to collect inspiration and be creative!
It all started with this amazing 8 foot table, built and painted by the husband of the owner of Camas Antiques. It was in the window display for a couple of weeks and everytime I visited the store, I stared at it, measured it, remeasured and then went home and measured my space, and thought and thought about how perfect it would be. Finally my mom told me I had better buy it because I would surely never find another like it! I always listen to my mom's advice. I ran right back to the store and purchased the giant, beautiful table with ample workspace! I am so happy I did!
I then started collecting and painting pieces to store supplies. Most of these boxes, painted in Antoinette and Old White hold bits of old lace, ribbon and doilies that I use in various projects.
This little desk organizer is filled with pens, scissors, tape and all of those things that are necessary, but not always pretty.
My tiered wire basket, a thrift store find, holds items I've collected and am in the process of packaging and pricing for my shop space.
Today I am working on packaging yards of vintage lace for the shop... more on that later!
I never pass up a metal plate rack. They are so fun for displaying things other than plates! This one is quite petite...perfect for miniature mirrors, a pretty coaster and old photos!
Last week I shared my chicken wire inspiration board. I am enjoying adding pieces to inspire creativity!
Thank you for joining me in my creative space! When I find a spare moment (usually late at night when the kids are in bed!) I just love sitting here, getting lost in my ideas, sorting through buttons, lace and pretty papers. It's where I blog, email, Facebook and peruse Pinterest as well! Speaking of Pinterest, if you want to see more creative spaces, stop by and visit my Pinterest board,
I found so much inspiration there as I worked on organizing my own creative studio space!
Have a wonderful weekend, my friends!
Best Wishes and Blessings,
Amanda
