Where Bloggers Create

It is time for the annual "Where Blogger's Create" Blog Party, sponsored by the lovely Karen Valentine @ My Desert Cottage.    This is my 3rd year participating and I love visiting the different studios out in blog land.

Pull up a chair and a cup of cold lemonade or iced tea and welcome to my creative space.

My studio is a first floor bedroom.  I look out into the front yard and can see part of our neighborhood when I am working at my large work table.  My sweet hubby built it for a birthday present a few years ago.  It even has a  safety glass work surface.

I have rolling drawers hidden under the table for added storage.  I have a ton of supplies junk.

I love fun cabinets and drawers.  I found this at a garage sale for cheap but it was painted a lime green.
I painted it pink with Annie Sloan chalk paint...red with an added white to get the pink I liked. I just painted the cabinet fronts and the rest is painted black.

                           
                                         On top of this cabinet I have more storage for vintage what nots.

My little 90 yr old neighbor and good friend gave me this green wicker shelf so I have it filled with some special momentos.  She also made me this little gray and blue elephant in a ceramic class.

More cabinets.  I decoupaged the top library cabinet. The bottom one held tools and still has the original tags.  I had planned on painting this black but maybe later this summer/fall.

                                This shelf unit holds books/sketchbooks and jars of stuff.

This is my favorite piece of furniture in the entire house.  It was my grandmothers.  I want to paint this black.

                         
                                         It holds part of my button collection and many things I hold dear.

This is my bride doll--I actually have two---both Christmas gifts when I was about 7. I also have had the two cupie dolls since youth.

I love mannequins and heads. 

More storage and my favorite rocking chair.  I spend a lot of time in it working on hand projects or my laptop.

                                                The closet affords me more storage above the door

and more storage on many shelves.  I am glad I can hide it all!

This sewing machine is my other grandmother's and still works!  My mom made all of my clothes and hers on this.

This Tv is new.  I used to have a little 12" tv up on one wall by the closet.  Hubby kept removing my shows I wanted recorded to record MORE sports. When he did that with two shows that were not available to see past shows, I got upset.  The second time he went out and bought me this new TV and now I can record my own shows and it doesn't interfere with his sports and old movies!  I usually watch cooking shows and listen to music channels on it.

                        My chandelier is from the house I grew up in. It was over our dining room table.

                                          I love funky containers for all of my junk stash.

                                                                  I love hands and hearts

                                        I also like my tools and art supplies out where I can see them.

                               This is a vintage petticoat and I thought it added flair to my chair. Callie loves it too!
In case you haven't noticed Pink is my favorite color and I like COLOR.  It invigorates me and makes me smile.

I also do stained glass and can't do it up here in this studio because of the toxic lead.  I don't want to drag it around our main living area.

So I set up a work table and space in our basement in the furnace room. It is perfect.  It has a cement floor.

I hope where ever you create it brings you joy.
