Creative Space Storage Inspiration

Last night I spent a good 6 hours cleaning, rearranging and organizing my creative area. It's still nowhere near done, but I can finally see the desktop again. That's quite an accomplishment. I really need more storage though. My little 600 square foot apartment is not the most packrat-friendly place. I keep daydreaming about an old card catalog or mail sorter...

Imagine all the things I could stash in something like that! I definitely see a weekend of antiquing in my near future. Wish me luck!

(And I'll share pictures and talk more about my creative space soon, once the clean-up of the Hurricane Amber craft carnage is complete. It's still kind of scary.)

Primary Color Love

You might not have noticed this yet, but I'm in love with black, white, grey, and variations of the primary colors. I have always decorated my house with things that made me happy, not really paying attention to color. One day I walked into my living room and it hit me. Yellow couch, black & white pillows, blue trunk, red books, yellow-gold picture frames, blue & white curtains, red vases. I walked into my bedroom and noticed the same. Dark red cherry floors, blue-grey wall paint, yellow dresser, red ballet flats sitting on top of a blue vintage suitcase, black antique iron bed frame, yellow throw blanket. So. I guess I like primary colors, huh?

I was just drooling over the Anthropologie website again, and I started saving pictures of things that made me happy. I uploaded them to Flickr & noticed something...

Well then. It's settled. I'm obsessed.

I'm planning in making my own version of the yellow tulle slip. I would also LOVE to figure out how to make some pretty little bloomers like the ones above. Unfortunately my 7th grade sewing skills might not be sufficient.

Um, help? Please? What are your favorite online sewing resources?

Renovated Church Home

This is just amazing. The cats would think they'd died and gone to heaven with all of the room to run and play. My little 600 square foot condo does not make the best kitty race track. I can definitely imagine us happily living in such a gorgeous, open space.

Someday...
