Where Bloggers Create

Thank you for joining me in Karen of Dessert Cottage - Where Bloggers Create Party.  I am joining in again this year as a motivator to reorganize and spruce up my space.  This little creative nook is in our basement that we finished after we moved into our home.

We started with a very modest budget and many reconditioned items.  The desk top is from a old kitchen counter.  Not very beautiful, but functional.  A burlap skirt around the desk helps dress it up and hides our computer and organizational tubs.

Our cabinets came from my Dad's kitchen redo.  We painted them and installed them in the hallway for additional storage.   My vintage dress form, Miss Clara M., is the newest addition to my creative space.  She greets everyone that comes into my space.

A lunch box and luggage pieces placed around my studio, gives me additional storage. 

I enjoy having little treasures displayed and sitting out so I can play with them when I sit down to create.  Many of these items displayed around the room are family heirlooms and special treasures given to me over the years.

For this year's party, I decided to cover my wire cube organizer with burlap.   Even when this area was organized it was always an eye sore since the opposite side of this room is our rec room that we are constantly in.  I took the quick no sew approach and tied the front panel to keep it in place.  Then on the right side, I added only one tie that can easily be untied so I can get into it.

I purchased old drawers for only $7 a piece and hung them on the wall to hold additional vintage treasures to create with and also hold priceless pictures of our family. 

Thank you for stopping by my creative space.  I can't wait to visit others to see where you all create!

Have a beautiful day, sweet friends.
