in progress...

I don't know if you all remember but a few weeks ago
on my FB page and maybe here, but I can't remember,
I mentioned that I would be getting space for a studio
all for me.

Well, after some serious cleaning, moving stuff, getting rid
of stuff I can say it is finally starting to come together.
Today, we moved my new (new to me) table, locker
and what will be a book case into the space.

There is still much work to be done but I can finally
start seeing what it's going to look like and what I want
it to feel like.

I have to say I am pretty excited and down right excited!

Here are some pictures, excuse the quality as I took them
with my phone but you'll get the idea.

This is the bookcase, I just need to add a shelf.

My table!

 

I love the patina on this locker, eventually it will house 

by biking gear.

 

I look forward to time in there,
drawing, designing and sewing.
I'll keep you posted on it's progress.

Here's to creating your space to
ignite your creativity!

A Vintage Gathering Sneak Peek #2...

sneak peek #2 as promised...

i love boxes, trunks, old suitcases

or anything you can hide stuff in 

or will hold things in.

with that being said, i tend not to say

no to a tool box or tackle box

which means there will be plenty this weekend

to choose from at 

A Vintage Gathering!

then there is all the enamel wear that

is perfect in pretty much every room in the house

including the yard!

 

stay tune for more AVG teasers!

see you this weekend.

Kids rooms...

my nephew has been visiting us
and who new one could get so tired playing.
not complaining...
we have so much fun and i truly do love
him to the ends of the world and back.

my house looks like a kid has been around...
this got me thinking how much fun it would
be to do a kids room with great vintage finds.

here is what i am thinking...

vintage laundry baskets for laundry, toys, blankets and pillows

locker baskets for what else...storage!

vintage desk and chair and the plates would even be fun,

pick a theme for the plates and display.

 these colorful library card catalog drawers would be great

for fun and whimsical storage.

 now seriously, what kid big or small wouldn't want to read

under the glow of the world.

letters...

the ultimate in fun and whimsy.

find their initials or spell their name.

maps are fascinating and educational...

perfect for some wall art.

old pant hangers to display their own art.

repurposed school lockers for books, clothes and toy storage.

how much fun could you have?
get them involved and hit the flea markets
and estate sales to find their own vintage treasures
for their rooms.


now enough work...
back to playing!

ciao,

work....

I wanted to give you a heads up to my week.

The quote above sums up how my week will be.

It's going to be long days and a lot of patience.

This means I will do my best to blog but if it seems a bit silent

on my end don't panic I will be back it just won't be this week.

I have a little assignment for you all while I work hard

and be nice to people.

That's it, CREATE! 

I would love to see what you all create while I work hard.

ciao,
