Where Bloggers Create

Don’t forget to check out the Where Bloggers Create Annual  Party at  My Desert Cottage  starting tomorrow.  There is sure to be many wonderful photos of offices, craft rooms and other creative spaces. I have posted pictures of my home office/craft room  previously but there have been a few changes since that post.

When decorating this room I wanted something feminine but also a little contemporary. The walls are painted Lettuce green and the upholstery is black and white damask.

 

Two rows of black ribbon and bows were added to a HomeGoods lamp.  The numbered boxes on the shelf were a junk store find. I just painted them white and added the painted numbers to the front of the drawers.  I love having a chandy in my space!
The mirror was a cheap garage sale find. I painted the frame Heirloom White and sprayed the glass with several coats of chalkboard paint.  As you can see I use this chalkboard a lot and it has held up well.

This was a maple 1960s settee when I purchased it off of craigslist. I painted the piece black and lightly distressed it. I upholstered the bottom of the frame and made the two pillows on top. I chickened out doing the large cushion so I had an upholsterer complete project.

A lady I found on ebay made these custom valances for me and she did a wonderful job.

 

On this vintage white table I keep a picture of my dad at seventeen years old. There is also a paper mache vase that is covered in small shells and sticks painted white.
This is my space the day the furniture arrived!  I am really happy with the transformation!
Thank you so much for your visit today.

  5. Just a wonderful and calming place to create! I just love the contrast that black and white give to a color! If that makes sense??? I have carved out a space in the loft for my creating and want it to be as feminine as it can with it connecting to all the other areas of the open floor plan. Thanks for the inspiration!
