My Studio
I can hardly believe it has been over 3 ½ months since we picked up and moved from Illinois to Washington… I am so happy we made that move for so many different reasons, but one reason is definitely my new studio space. When we looked for places to live, we decided to find an apartment that had an extra room for my sewing. Ben is so nice to not mind that all he has is a little corner for his desk, when I have the whole rest of the room for all my stuff…
I love the windows in our apartment, we get a ton of natural light which is wonderful with the grey skies that this area seems to have quite frequently:) Actually I picked the blue paint for the walls because it reminds me a bit of the sky and I figured when the sky is grey I can just look at the lovely walls in my studio :)
The inspiration wire above my desk has some of my favorite postcards on it for right now. I think as the seasons change I might change out the items hanging from it. I love that it is a bit of art & color that I can switch out so easily.
Of course Pounce needed to be in at least one photo :) (Don’t mind the bikes, that is not actually where those belong…)
One of my favorite things about my new sewing studio is my cutting table. In our old house, I had to constantly set up a folding table whenever I needed more space for sewing… Now I just walk over to my cutting table :) (The best part is that it does come apart for easy storage for when we have guests over and need to use my studio as a guest room, but I can leave it up all the time now.)
I love the black + white print of the curtains… In fact I love it so much I bought a bit extra of it & in another color too! (Would it be too strange to make a shirt in the same fabric as my curtains? Maybe if I just don’t stand right next to them when I wear the top? :)
Have I mentioned that I love my new studio! It was so much fun to decorate, but even more fun to enjoy it now that it is finished. :)
2 posts in the same week… I know I was gone for awhile, so I hope it isn’t too much to post a bunch now that I am back :) I definitely missed blogging while I was gone & am happy to be back to writing in this space again!
