Welcome to my creative space...
So, I finally have my room almost the way I want it. I still have to hang up my Pottery Barn shelves and some artwork, but, I'd love to share with you what is finished. Welcome.....
I labeled my walmart baskets with little handmade tags I made out of pink paper, prima flowers and ribbon. I was totally inspired by the way Donna Downey organized her stuff into category baskets. It is so working for me. Thanks Donna!
I use my Clip It Up to mostly store my Prima hanging items. I love being able to see everything I have. This way, it actually gets used ;)
I created a little "sewing station" because I want to start sewing again! I have dreams of making clothes for Ella....and maybe even teaching her how to as well someday :) Above the table, I hung a raw canvas that I'm using as a memo board. Pinned to it are some of my favorite things :)
and just a couple extra random shots... Thanks for letting me share with you and if you're ever in the neighborhood, stop in and scrap with me!
So gorgeous! YOu are one talented lucky lady! Its so inviting and pretty. :) Great job

Beautiful room!!!! I love what you did with the baskets. I have an Expedit with bins but they're not labeled yet... I'm working on my room now as well, so I hope to have it completed by the end of summer. Thanks for sharing... Love your work :-) Hugs!

Thanks for this post, you have inspired me to get my space organised. Yours looks great and thanks for sharing Donna's link also. I have been thinking lately how unproductive and non creative and uninspired I have been lately because my craft room is very disorganised at the moment, so stumbling on your post must be the sign I needed. Thanks Again Anna
