Where I Create

Welcome...come on in! But, I must warn you...you might want to grab a coffee, 

tea, or something that makes you feel comfy because you are gonna need it...

THIS POST IS A L..O..N..G.. ONE!

When I decided to participate in Karen's Where Bloggers Create II,

I didn't realize the organizing that I had to do in my space...

you would think it wouldn't take too long to get into shape

being that it is the smallest room in this house

but it has the most stuff in it than any other room

We will start in this corner which houses this great cabinet I found on Craigslist for a steal

It holds vintage glass jars (also a steal at a Goodwill store - 12 for $1!!)

A lot of my favorite aqua trinkets and statues are also here

Moving right along we have my counter space where I create everything

My new swivel chair from Ikea makes all the difference when I spend hours here

Everything at my fingertips - this is a must when there is chaos all around!

And to the right we have more shelving with paper storage

More glass jars filled with ribbons and flowers

Inspiration boards and a covered tower of storage bins

And this corner is the cleanest...

I gotta work on getting something up in 

this corner so it doesn't feel left out!

Would you believe that this dresser was mine throughout my childhood?

I just recently gave it a fresh coat of turquoise paint and painted the hardware white

It used to be a rust color - not a cohesive color with my room!

More storage...

And more...

And I love this cabinet I got many years ago before my love of turquoise

All my pretties laid out before me so I can sit and stare at them while I work

You can never have enough vintage jewelry boxes

They are so handy as storage boxes

A sweet german doll head

And another I added as altered art to an iron dress form

More heads just waiting for their purpose in life

I am lucky to have my baby bracelet that I was sent home from the hospital with

A cute pincushion

A reminder to me...dream your dreams...

An old cupie figurine

A recently purchased art apron from Holly at Holly Loves Art

I can't wait till I have a chance to wear it other than at home

It helps so much having all my supplies in glass jars

Easy to see at a glance what I need

You can never have enough storage...

Where everything happens...

My bead storage at my fingertips...

green, purple and blues

pink, brown and whites

black, red and silvers

Waiting for creating

So many possibilities

Watch faces and typewriter keys

Are you still with me??

Do you need another cuppa coffee??

I'll wait....go ahead...

Loving all this organized prettiness

Glasses

Millinery

Whatnots

And in the bottom drawer - ribbon - lots of ribbon

There's even a sleeping beauty

More turquoise love

Alice in Wonderland tag swap that Karla's Cottage hosted

Glitter

Tags

And photos that make me happy

Things that are a must when creating

Waiting to be soldered

Another storage option - vintage altered suitcases from the lovely Jane's Apron

Fun colors

And look at this find I got a couple of weeks ago

An area rug where my little doggies can lay down and keep 

me company while I work

It is the perfect match for these curtains!

See what I mean - at a glance

And I am loving all of the storage that this dresser provides

And when the drawers are closed, I see no clutter!

An old vintage birdcage becomes ribbon storage

A pretty aqua powder puff jar that has never been opened

Another altered tin with one of my german gals

And, times up!

Are you still awake??

I want to thank you for stopping by and enduring all these photos

And I also want to thank Karen for hosting this blog party
