Today I'm joining Karen Valentine of My Desert Cottage for the second annual…
I have three shelves, a credenza, a chest of drawers, and an armoire to store my stuff in. Looking at these pics is giving me high anxiety because there's just sooo much stuff.
Baskets, boxes, canisters all full of stuff. I try to label to label everything so I don't keep searching and searching – sometimes it works…and sometimes it doesn't
I have projects everywhere – the little trees I hope to work on soon…
Books for altered art and things waiting to go to the antique store.
On top of the armoir are my flowers for a project and a couple of paintings
which aren't mine – they are my husbands who is a hoarder and procrastinator in his own right!
In the opposite corner are more supplies, things I've gotten in swaps and from classes I've taken.
From my 2009 Paper Cowgirl class with Cindy a piece of advice…." That Birds of worry fly over your head you cannot change but that they build nests in your hair you can prevent"
This party bird is letting no nest be built in his hair!!!!!!!! I've got a huge one in my hair today labeled "stuff"!!!
Buttons, bingo, scrabble letters all waiting to be used for something someday!
And a little clock waiting to go to The Roost.
On a lower shelf I filled these vintage boxes with – sighing…..more stuff.
I just brought this home from The Roost – our antique store – because I had no drawers for office supplies.
My craft table/ dining table. If I only had a closet!!!!!
See why it's important for me to have 15,487 scrabble letters? I can make a clever title like this!!!
I'm also joining Beverly at How Sweet The Sound for Pink Saturday today. (Just a few pink touches today) and
Cindy at My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday.
Thanks for stopping by – I think it will take a year to go through all the blogs on these tours today! Aren't these linky parties amazing??? xoxo Nancy

Love your stylish workspace and your creative storage. My problem is I have too much stuff and I use alot of it on a regular basis. Methinks I will have to do a strict purge. Love your style!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful wonderful room. So cheerful and inviting, just asking to sit down and create something. I love your studio.
ReplyDeleteKaren
Hello!! Your creative area is wonderful!!! I loved looking and lurking in every little corner and nook...and I only have 978 Scrabble tiles...also waiting to be put to good use!!
ReplyDeleteHope your PS is filled with fun...cuz your creative corner certainly is!!

I think your space is fantastic Nancy! I could play in there for hours!!
ReplyDeleteMan, seeing everyones pretty and interesting creative spaces really makes me want a creative place of my own!! I just don't know where I could put it...I would have to get rid of something!! The rooms just inspire creativeness, now don't they? Thanks for sharing! and happy pink sat!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday and WBC, dear Nancy.
ReplyDeleteI love your space, and I would really love looking inside all of the jars and boxes. I adore lots of pretties and goodies.
I now know that I am Scrabble tile deprived. Oh my! What's a girl to do?
I really like the drawers!! Great room.
ReplyDeleteI have one of those husbands too! :) Love the way you have your shelves organized with all the black storage boxes! We never have enough room, do we? Thanks for sharing a glimpse into your studio and into your life! Come visit me!

Hi Darlin Nancy!
ReplyDeleteSuch a blessing that you have such a cool hubby... but I am sure he must feel that way about you... or he wouldnt do these wonderful things for you.
Enjoy your visitors... i couldnt resist stopping to say hi to a dear friend of mine.

Maggie Mae!
"Do these shoes match this purse?"
Don't sigh. :o( Isn't it great when you're working on a project and you have all that stuff to finish it and you don't have to run out to get something to finish. ;o) Love all the nooks and crannies so filled with such treasures. So, enjoyed my visit with you. Enjoy the rest of the party.

What a wonderfully creative space!
ReplyDeleteI adore your storage solutions. They have inspired me.
All the black with pops of color look so fun! I think nobody can ever have too many "supplies". You never know at what time you'll need them. Thanks for stopping by to visit-hope you have a wonderfully creative week!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great space! Happy belated Pink Saturday :0)
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy!
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm still party hopping...slowly but happily :)
I love your space...I love all those black shelves and all those canisters of goodies!!!
I'll be coming from Louisiana to Paper Cowgirls on Thursday...anxious to meet you :)
Hi Nancy~
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing glipses of your supplies and the way you store them...very clever. And of course I am the current owner of some of your "stuff"-LOL Lucky me! You must be the Queen of Scrabble tiles for sure! This tour is fun...it will take me a week to get to everyone but I'm trying to hit my favorites first!
Have a good week!
Joyce
I love it! You can make so much here. What a great place to be! :)

What a great space! It looks chock full of wonderful things to create with. Thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteI think a dining room like yours is probably a LOT more fun than one that's just for eating in! I know I would rather play - LOL! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour room is terrific and so well organized! I love your table too - it looks like you and a friend can pull up a chair and create together. I like your new find for storage!
ReplyDeleteI love your studio so much that I could just move right in and feel right at home. I especially like the black organizer boxes you have - I might have to hunt around for some of those for my studio. I *thought* I'd want my stuff in plastic see through containers, but now I have them, I hate them. Thanks for giving me an idea and for having us over for a visit.
ReplyDeleteI am all for multi tasking!! Your room looks so cozy! You have so many wonderful things. I'm sure it's wonderful to play surrounded by your family. Thank you so much for joining the party. I really enjoyed my visit.

Love your creative space and this music is so pretty....thanks for sharing it all with us!
ReplyDeletegreat space with lots of goodies!
ReplyDeleteHi My Nancy!!!!
ReplyDeleteGirl, No wonder you create such beautiful things...your room is FULL of inspiration :)))
I love all the black shelving...your room sort of looks like mine except yours is CLEANER!
:)
Awesome space with wonderful bits and babbles to create with. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat yummy supplies you have to create with! Thank you for sharing your creative haven.
ReplyDeleteI think 'a lot of stuff' is a common problem we all have. LOL. Enjoyed your post. You have some wonderful pieces and your studio was very cleverly presented. Thanks for sharing and it was nice meeting you. Connie
ReplyDeleteYour show-off storage of game pieces is KILLER!!! I have canisters of misplaced/need to be sorted and boxed pieces in my game cupboard. Now I can hardly wait to display them in glass jars along side of the marbles I won in sixth grade. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe that I am just now getting to the M's of this list...
ReplyDeleteI love your altered bird book and the black cabinet is to die for! My craft room is the white, but I so want to go to black and white!
BTW~ I am having a giveaway to celebrate the 30 day anniversary of my blog... Yes, only 30 days! I would love it if you would come by and visit at http://scrappingwithsherry1.blogspot.com/ Hope to see you there~ Sherry
You do have lots of goodies in your creative space. I like the idea of using the dresser for your office supplies. LOVE your scrabble tile message! :D
