    Thanks for dropping by my space. You have such lovely collections. Handy to have your creative space right next to your bed if you have an idea as you drift off.

    Tiny, but oh so cozy looking! I may have lots of space, but I didn't always. I was all crammed into about a 10 x 10 space before and I kind of miss it, everything looks so cozy and close at hand in your studio! Thanks or sharing and thanks for stopping by to see mine!

    All those colorful ribbons and trims. I'd love to be there to peek inside each box, basket and bin. You did a great job corralling it all in a tight space. tfs

    It looks to me like you are making great use of the space you have! Love all the ribbons hanging there. I think I would like waking up with all my stash being right there...not so sure my husband would though. Thanks for sharing your space with us! Connie

    It may be small but it looks organized and functional. And having everything right there close at hand must make it easier to create. I applaud your hubby! I'm not sure mine would like having my studio in the bedroom!

    With the addition of our 3rd baby, I lost my art room. I have a pretty big closet and not a lot of clothes (haha), so I'm thinkin about setting up shop in there. If I ever get it cleaned out!

    Hi Caleen,

    Now that's a wonderful creative space! Good for you on making it happen even though you lost your separate room. It looks so great with all that vintage stuff.

    I'd love for you to come over for a stroll through my studio. It's been an ongoing transformation for almost a year since I moved in to our new home.

    Have a wonderful day,
    Stephanie ♥

    My space is in a corner of our bedroom too. Doesn't make the Farmboy too happy, but it'll have to do for the time being.

    Glad to hear you received your package. Hope you like everything!

    Love all the colors! You are right though, sometimes you have to deal with the space you've got. I think it makes us more creative in how to use the area when it's small.

    Yes, you do what you have to, I'd say you have done a good job of downsizing. Everyone has to sacrifice in a situation like that, you could have taken over the garage, LOL.

    Your space is wonderful (as are the new photos!) I am especially taken with the door and mirror hanging from it and the old shadow box filled up with your treasures. As I recall those boxes used to be gold and backed with a mirror. Did you repaint it or buy it that way. I'm not sure I'll pass one up again at a sale!
