Meg sent in this pic of her fab new studio space – see more at her website. Some highlights of the space – that gorgeous eggshell blue wall, the burlap sack inspiration wall – and that super long white work bench – luck you Meg.
And Missy has transformed a small corner space into a very clever sewing nook – see lots more pics here. I love her use of Ikea storage devices and her magnetic wall is nifty – she has also used a curtain to block off the space when it is not in use. And oh my I have just spotted my sewing machine on her desk. Yes I have one exactly the same – it must be 35 years old and belonged to my grandmother.
Martha Stewart has devoted her whole top attic to a crafting space. It looks like she has about 7 desks in here – each one devoted to a different type of crafting. It all looks so beautiful and while I wonder if she ever uses it – there are some excellent creative storage solutions for your new year resolutions.
great idea from craft stylish - turning old magazines into usable containers – very cool.
