I am joining Karen's fabulous "Where Bloggers Create" party, how exciting to see everyones creative spaces!!!
and I am joining Beverly's Pink Saturday.
So here we go..when I was a little girl my best friend had this little playhouse, we had the most fun ever!!!! And I always dreamed of having a playhouse, well I finally got one and I love it!!! Its a place I can create and share with my children, so they can paint, draw and create anytime they want. The cottage was built this January and I have been playing ever since...so on with the tour...WARNING...this is long, you may want to get a snack and drink...
the cottage is separated into two work spaces by a half wall...as you walk thru the door this is to your left, we will start there and go around...
this is the storage units I covered with pretty drapes, they store the items I have in my shop and treasures yet to be listed...
I love this table with all my favorite colors, I finally have room to sew, I just need to find some more time...
bulletin board for inspiration...
starting to put my fabrics in here...
I love vintage pink Christmas ornaments...
sweet vintage baby dresses...
a chalkboard, my daughter loves it...
I love my pink checkered floor, it took along time, but it was worth it...
remember Louise...
my pink dresser to hold all the vintage linens...
some pretties I like, now on the other side of this half wall is where I have some real fun...
a big wrap around counter, I put fabric all around to hide all my boxes and supplies and because its cute...
and I had to make some of these...love them...
this is where I solder...
pretty shells...
more supplies...
vintage trinkets for embellishing...
love this old drawer...
ribbons and laces...
basket of roses...
where I make my faux treats...
where I paint and take pictures of the items for my shop...I used to have an inspiration book where I would cut out pictures and save them, now I just glue them on the wall so I can see them everyday...
well thats the tour of the inside of my craft cottage, hope you liked it. Next Saturday I will post the outside and all its pinkness.
here is a link to see the outside
Stefanie, this is a WONDERFUL room! I love the way you have your laces displayed and the little blue cupboard in the corner on your counter....you have wonderful crafting goodies and all are at your reach. The table for sewing...it looks like you could have friends over to visit too!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting with me today.
Blessings,

ReplyDeleteStefanieeeeee,
ReplyDeleteYour little enchanted cottage is precious down to the pink and white floors!!!!
Can I trade you Sophie for Louise? Maybe you can train Sophie to have good manners like Louise and then we can switch back...how's that? ;)
No wonder everything you create is so beautiful, you have so much inspiration around you :)
Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful work space.
Love all your pretty soft colors, and that ribbon hanger, great idea!! and sooo long!
Love that you have curtains around your things, but have to say i like just being able to reach over and get something. A curtain would just slow me down. =)

What a WONDERFUL place to create!!! I am crazy about your checked floor!( and just about everything else in your room!!) I also appreciate you stopping by and leaving such a kind comment on my blog today!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous space! I love the colors and all your vintage storage chests! The floor is awesome. Yes, I know how hard it was to do but like you, I love the result. You asked about my floor - I put a clear marine varnish on it to protect it in case we got water in there. Since it's in the basement, that's a big possibility. I love the sheen to it! I loved visiting your space and will be back often!
ReplyDeleteSooooo, when's our play date?
ReplyDeletei might just have to keep this for later inspiration when i need a new room {which is now} oh, cottage. :) it is wonderful, except i am a fabric girl and you are going to definitly need something larger than your little armoire to keep it all.
