Storage for Creative Spaces

I'm talking storage for your supplies and not the kind in a plastic bin stuck under the table. Unfortunately, supplies in my creative space that have been put in storage bins have suffered from severe depression due to lack of use. Poor babies.

SEE it + RETRIEVE it = a FUNCTIONAL space
  

Stack ribbons according to color on a wall shelf.

Grab plant stands or any table height containers that have an open top. Roll trims and lace on cardstock tubes. Place vertically in containers and every tube will be visible. Happy trims? You bet.

This space is located in my antique church building.

Every space needs to store a little bit of pretty. Part of my tea cup collection is housed in a glass cabinet above a work table. Function? Simply inspiration.

A few paper doll ornaments from a swap and a tussie mussie made by me also offer inspiration.

Vintage jewels, buttons, yo yos, glitered letters, and more are within reach and highly visible stored in glass jars. See it, and retrieve it. 


I have had questions about the frame that sits on top of the hutch. It is a framed piece of fabric. The frame was spray painted to match the fabric. Heavy fabric was used and attached to the back of the frame with upholstery staples. Glass was not used.

Fall weather has been beautiful in the midwest. Harvest is underway on our farm and we have been enjoying many meals out in the field. The gorgeous prairie and blue skies go on forever. I wish I could bottle some up for you! Along with harvest my pink girl and I have been getting ready for a show. It will be located in my neighbors beautiful barn. If you live close by stop in next weekend at the Crafters Barn and say hi!

Have a beautiful day,
Ele

The Rug....again?

I know, you have already seen pictures of the new rug in this post, but it seems the rug is a bit magical. It knows how to travel from room to room, and does it well!

It has made it's way to "Pink Girl's" room, and I must say adds a bit of pizazz to the pink/dark pink/black color scheme. See for yourself!

I can't say that I blame the rug. This room is a bit of pink heaven, and there are items in this room with the same phenotype as the rug. You know, the black and white damask pattern.
  • candle
  • jewelry box

  • storage boxes
Is the magic over, or will the rug appear again.......hmmm?
Blessings, Ele
