Hi Friends
I am so excited today to be joining
Karen at My Desert Cottage
For her 7th annual
"Where Bloggers Create"
Link Party
This is my first time joining in
And I've had fun getting my space ready
So, Let's take a quick tour of My Creative Space
My home is decorated with taupe walls,
Black and very dark brown furniture
White and Red accents
So You will see some of that red in my space
However,
I painted this picture this past spring
Which lead to a change of colors
In my office/craft room
My creative space is now mostly white
With touches of Beachy Blue
And those left over bits of red that I will phase out over time
As I have prepared for this post and cleaned up my creative space
It has become Very clear to me
That I like to work in a clean low key space
I've always used a curtain for the closet
Because I do not like sliders
I purchased this soft white ruffled curtain for my space
And love how it keeps everything hidden from view
What's behind curtain #1?
My ugly 20 year old file cabinet (but it works)
An 8 cube stack and my photo albums and photo boxes
I am definitely a girl who likes neat, tidy and organized
So, in the cubbies I keep small stackables with
Many of my scrapbooking items like scissors, markers,
tape, punches, etc
I also have my 12x12 papers stacked on trays
More photo albums, all of my project life supplies
Important paperwork, books and manuals
In the red bins are all of my rolls of ribbon
Yarn, glue gun and glue, CD's and a few misc items
The top shelf holds my ancient photos albums
And most of my photo boxes (filled with photos and CD's)
This wall is in progresss
It will be my inspiration wall
Right now it holds a few photos
A couple projects that need to be completed
And the heart hanging basket has
Lace, embroidery thread and other misc pieces
I absolutely LOVE this dresser I purchase many years ago
It holds so many items I can't list them
But I'll add just a couple photos below
On top of the dresser I put my desk hutch
My desk is in front of a window and I didn't want to cover it
So, this piece fit perfectly on the dress and makes another
Great space for storing small linenes
small paints, all of my glitters, paint brushes and other small items
I love things to be containerized so in the drawers I have used
Many small bins and containers
The containers above hold all of my tiny scrapbooking bits
As well as beads and other tiny items
I have a fetish for crochet hooks
The box is full and I have a few full sets
Don't ask :)
This is my desk and storage area
I absolutely LOVE to sit here
And just dream while watching the lizards and birds
Play along the block wall outside the window
I attempt to keep my desk cleared off
So I can create anytime I want to
On each side of the desk
I've added cabinets with closing doors
The above is the left side
I keep games, paper and a couple of projects t
hat need to be completed
One of my nieces sends me scriptures and notes
I post them on the side of this cabinet
For inspiration and encouragement when I need it
As you can see
I also love using ironstone and milk glass
To store pens, pencils, markers and brushes
Behind the doors on the right side
I keep my camera bag and supplies
Paints and painting supplies
Stationary, bows, rubber stamps and ink
As well as folded wrapping paper and ribbons
Here's a bit of that red
I use cute boxes for storage that can also be displayed
Here I keep my 5x7 papers and small tag paper
In this box I keep small note pads, 3x5 cards
Check boxes and other small paper items
I also use lots of glass jars for
Buttons, ribbons, spools of colored wire
And some sand and sea shells from California :)
So, there you have it
My creative space
Always a work in progress
This has been so much fun putting together
I can't wait to come visit your space
Blessings to You
Happy Creating
