My Creative Space

I normally type my blog, sitting on the loveseat in the family room, but when I really want to be creative, I go into my little office space.

My office, per the house plan, is a bed room, but it is rather small, and all I could easily place in here would be a twin size bed, if I wanted to have any extra room at all, the max would be a full size bed.  So I've always used the room as an office (with a twin size bed).  The bed is the loveseat.  It makes into a twin size bed, and is ocassionally used if my grandson brings friends home with him, and since he's out of college and working, that hasn't happened in a while.

Here is my creative spot (since its makeover in March of this year).


The ottoman also serves as a coffee table of sorts, for the area.

Loveseat/twin bed


The left side of the cabinet was a gun cabinet in its former life.  My husband and I added shelving to make it match the other side.  So much more useful and looks 100% better than before.






I had used the cubbies inside the cabinet for storage, but love them as extensions for my desk area.


I am really enjoying the makeover of my office.  The color is Copper Patina by Benjamin Moore.  The large picture is one I had stored elsewhere in the house.  I bought the panels from Ikea.....love.them.!!!

So this is where I do my photo editing, and my eBay business.  I have all the package supplies in the closet, and keep my records in here.

This little room serves many uses.

Where is your creative area?

Blogging Again From My Mountain Cottage, Shadymont

After a much needed rest, I'm back with a new blog name and a few slight changes, like the template, and the content will vary and not always be home decor, though that is my niche, and I will continue to have it frequently.  But I want to use my blog to also give those who may read it a little encouragement into the Goodness of God. Some of the fog from my depression is lifting now and I'm starting to feel better.  I've had a really hard time, personally, for the last seven months, and the divorce still isn't final.  I think it is nearing being final now though, and I hope I will continue to get clarity from this fog. I have a story to tell regarding other matters, but I still am not able to talk  about it quite yet.  But when I say I've been through the fire, or maybe the pits of hell, just believe me.  I now understand the meaning of Never say "Never"!  Things can happen to us when we are vulernable that we think would never  happen.  ...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project.  I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow.  First, I found an old pillow I no longer use.  I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it.  I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers.  I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night.  The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion.  I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...

Bar Stools Makeover

I'm still receiving therapy by keeping my hands busy, plus today I ran quite a few errands.  It's been a crying day for me today.  Just so much to worry about.  It seems like sometimes everything is just messed up, and there's nothing we can do to fix any of it.   Night before last, I painted the bar stools.  I've had them since 2000, and they were nice, but I was just in the mood to paint them!!  The form of the stools had a textured bronze color, the seats were beige with the fleur de lis design, and the wood across the back was brown.  Well, needless to say, they got their own coat of chalk paint in white, the seats covered in blue and white, and the boards across the back are blue.  I have the fabric to make matching placemats and napkins, but today was not the day to try to sew, for me.  I'm just too nervous.  In fact, I didn't do anything creative today except switch out the curtains in the powder room that I only made and p...
