Studio Love........

Well, my family laugh when I call it a "Studio" - I guess sewing room sounds more normal to them. I wonder though at what point a sewing room becomes a studio - maybe when one uses the space to make a living? Not sure - but I love my space!!

I planned this space just for me throughout the planning of the building of our home. Maybe a little selfish, but I so need to escape to this place even just for a little while. I had the table and freestanding hutch built to order. I am really pleased how it turned out.

The daybed is a favourite - I had one on order for weeks and weeks and it just never turned up - you know - that slow boat that never shows!! I was so pleased when I walked into another furniture store in town and could have it delivered the next day.

I love the crystal door and cupboard knobs. Alexandra and I both have them in our rooms - the builder couldn't quite get his head around that one. I lost count of the number of times he told me things I wanted weren't "the usual". I think when you dream of something for so long it is worth doing it the way you want it.

The bottles I collect from the shop - cherries come in them and they are just perfect for storing all my bits and bobs. I love my stacks of books and cherish them, can you see the Crabtree and Evelyn room spray - just beautiful.






I enjoyed making my sewing machine cover - so much nicer than the plastic one that came with it!



These old boxes I came across at the thrift shop one day - what a great day that was - I store my vintage lace in them.

I love to just look at this roll of monograms I found in my dear Nana's things. "E" for Eleanor - I wonder what she stitched them onto as a girl.

I hope you enjoyed a visit into my "Studio". Now just to spend more time in there!!
