Hello to you, did you have a nice weekend? Sunday was 'family' day, and with the sunshine beaming upon us we all kitted up in our cycling gear and went for a spin around the waterfront cycleway, stopping once for a play in the park and again for some well-earnt fish and chippies! Yummo!
Today I am surrounded by scraps of fabric, shards of lace and tulle, wayward buttons and an overwhelming desire for a creative space that is not shared with the children's rice bubbles. Ok, I know
Peter Alexander started his business on the kitchen table, but let me tell you the novelty wears out real quick! Ours is but a humble three bedroom home and those kiddies of mine insist on sleeping in their own space. Downstairs we have a largish 'rumpus' room that will one day be magically transformed into a fourth bedroom with separate little sewing nook... but it is currently unloved, uncleaned, and currently a holding bay for all our outgrown and unwanted household items, home to the odd little field mouse (gross gross gross) and altogether not a place I can see myself being creative in. Sigh. One day........
I dream about having my own little space. For me and my sewing machine. And all my bits and pieces. Old buttons and rolls of ribbon thoughtfully stored in little jars on open shelves. Inspirational artwork and beautiful fabrics adorning the walls. Soft pinks and lemons and aquas and greens. White furniture. A bit like these gorgeous little morsels; my dream illustrated in the following amazing images. I'm filing them all away while I save. And dream. One day, folks!
Do you have your own creative space? What do you love about it? If not and you are dreaming like me, what would
yours look like?
wow lady, thats the most delicious selection of rooms i have ever seen. I dont usually like pink walls but that first one is perfection.
ReplyDeleteDave built me a studio last year (we had some open space under the house) but it pretty much sounds like your rumpus room and my kitchen take sounds EXACTLY like yours. I always craft where the kids are.

LOVE all those images too. Our 3rd bedroom is currently a homeoffice/everything room but I would love a dedicated studio/sewing room, ah I'll keep dreaming for a while longer :)

LOVE these little spaces, especially all the vintage floral fabric.
ReplyDeleteI have a shared creative space at the moment so have to tone it down a bit for the mister. Even so, a wee bit of Hello Kitty paraphernalia has found its way in ;)
i am definitely dreaming like you..at the moment my creative space is in my kitchen.i do dream of a room filled with lots of all the above especially the first image.xox
ReplyDeleteOhh I love all the little spaces you have chosen. I have a little sewing nook but it's basically a desk and my machines. I would love a big cabinet to display fabric and keep all my bits in. Maybe one day when there is more room. :)
