Liberty prints displayed above the desk in my Loft
I spent the most wonderful day on Monday rethinking and rearranging my Loft... the creative space that I find myself day-dreaming about in the midst of my teacher-day. The loft has gone through many phases... from reading nook to actual studio space, right now it feels just about right. We still need some paint, a chair (which I grabbed from the side of the road and needs some reupholstered love) and the return of the window trim and window treatments, but the space feels open, airy and full of light... perfect for inspiration and creation. Please come on in and have a look, excuse our works in progress!
... my linen cabinet (from Ikea) has moved all the way across the loft... I love that you can see it as you walk up the stairs... all that fabric... it makes me giddy - that's possibly the sign of a problem!
... I've reclaimed my desk, that poor little desk was no match for the Bernina and shook wildly while sewing... I won't miss that... the Liberty prints above the desk is an inspiration nod to Purl SoHo and if my collection grows to their lengths remind me that I have a problem...
... these hooks are from Anthropologie and I love them...
... I love these crates we picked up at our local Orchard, they were $2 a piece and we use them for everything... right now they're holding the small collection of books I'm hanging on to in the loft... the rest of my books have made their way down to the guest bedroom and desperately need a bookshelf, which we're looking into...
... right now, my old cutting table is the main sewing space... this is also temporary. The table will eventually go in the middle of the back space and just be for cutting. We have Rob's mom's sewing table we're looking into refurbishing for sewing...
... this Melon crate is perfect for all my sewing needs, and I love having everything close by...
... my bookshelves have become supply organization and the ladder I picked up at Brimfield for a steal is perfect for housing works in progress... Oy, those projects need to be finished!
... ignore the glare (that sun is everywhere up here!) I decided to use some frames I bought at Ikea to show off some of that loved fabric...
I so love this space. It feels amazingly open and spacious right now after we moved a love seat into our bedroom. The change is just what I needed. Right now, I'm working on a bird mobile made from the Spool Sewing pattern, another sweet edition for this space. The walls will be painted soon and I'm thinking about Benjamin Moore's Clinton Brown (seen here) for the back accent wall. Until then... I'm loving the continued phases of this loved space and embracing the wonderful changes as they go. Happy Thursday!
