Where Bloggers Create II

The day is finally here.
 One we all have been waiting for.
 A day when we can throw open the door with a big "WELCOME" and say,
 "Come on in. Let me show you around."



When we moved into this house seven years ago, I was fortunate to have some extra space that I could claim for my own office/studio. I wanted some space to read and watch tv on the main level of our home. A quiet spot where I could have a comfy chair, my computer, and my books.



I love to write, read, do Bible Studies,
oh, and let's not forget lots of blogging.
 So this is where I spend a lot of my time.
I have a Bible Study and devotional blog also, "a day in the life",
 stop by for a visit when you have the time.


I found this table last year in really terrible shape
 so I repainted it to match my computer grouping.

I have a space at a local tea room and antique mall where I sell vintage and antiques. I love the white, chippy, and shabby look, so I end up painting a lot of the furniture I find.



I love having my work table here,
 and now I don't know what I did before I found it.




I like to use vintage everyday objects to hold pens,
supplies, and to just enjoy looking at.









If you read my blog, you'll know I'm a "collector". My squirrel and chipmunk collection has yet to make it's debut. They have been residing here for the last few years.



Current magazines, computer paper, notes, and journals
all have a place in some vintage files on my desk.


An old drawer painted robin's egg blue holds necessities
from hand cream to tape and everything in between.








I think it's important to surround ourselves with the small
things in life that bring us joy.



My grandfather had a print shop during the depression,
so I guess I have the "paper gene".
I love ephemera; vintage and new.
And I'm really drawn to vintage graphics.






My oversized chair has been covered in two 40's barkcloth curtain panels.
And an ottoman that holds a tray for reading and a cup of coffee,
but mostly holds a cat.




Yo yo pillow made by my sweet mother-in-law.




This message board is something I wanted to put together
before this party.
I have wanted to do this for several years and finally
had the motivation to accomplish it.



I collect old frames and found this one
that just needed  a coat of white paint and some foam board.

A layer of quilt batting and some natural linen completed it.
A really easy project, now to fill it up with inspiration.



One of my dress forms holds a few of my necklaces.






It's more of a hobby than anything else.
I sell a few at my space at the tea room.
But mostly it's just good therapy.




This pie safe I found a few years ago is a perfect spot
 to keep supplies and projects that I need to reach easily. 


Here's one of my furry assistants.
She's my little shadow.


My mom gave me my first vintage hat,
one she used to wear when she and Dad
dressed for their antique car club outings.
 My dad lovingly restored old cars ranging from the teens to the 40's.










I have a real love for old luggage and have collected
 quite a few pieces over the last few years.

I've found that it's a great place to store art supplies.
These are a few that I have painted white,
that hold old cards and keepsakes.



I have this old trunk for more paper supplies,
lace, bits and pieces, and odds and ends.




This is one of my favorite finds.
An old monogramed "Hartmann" train case,
 now holding old prints and photos.


vintage hatbox






This dress form is one of my recent finds, "My Double".
Wire mesh that takes on your own personal shape.
eecck! I decided against that option.






I enjoy playing with paper collage,
 and made a few of these a while back.
 I just ended up keeping these two.






Another area I enjoy is restoring these old, cardboard prints
from the 40's to the 60's.
This one was scratched and badly marred.
I matched the paint, touched it up, and then resurfaced it.



Now part of a favorite grouping.


Now you know where I spend most of my time.
I've enjoyed showing you around.



Thank you, Karen from My Desert Cottage
for throwing this wonderful party!

  7. Hi Debra,
    I have really enjoyed seeing your private place where you create and enjoy life. It's warm and cozy with all the vintage pieces and collections. It's definitely YOU! It tell me so much about you and what's behind the pretty smiling photo that I see whenever I visit you.

    You are unique, special and have a heart as big as the sky. I'm so glad you are my friend. Thanks for letting me see the things you love.

  8. Debra,

    Looks like we both are early birds! Oh how I wish I had your space, mine is barely larger than a closet. What wonderful collections and special mementos you have surrounding you.

    Won't these next few days be fun hopping everywhere?

    Remember Karen asked us to turn off word verification to speed things up. We have over 500 to visit! When I saw the end of your post I realized I forgot to post her button again, oops, so I must remedy that pronto!

    Nice to meet you here at the party and in your studio Debra. I'm Carola from Boxwood Cottage in Nothern Germany. You have some nice vintage things and my favorite photo of them all is Number 1 - so stunning and I have such a thing for clock faces and collect them.

  39. Hi Debra, let me first tell you my dream last nite. Instead of visiting everyone's creative space through blogland, I was actually doing it in person, and guess what, you were one of my first stops and you were showing me around. Ha! Is that not a hoot. I think your blog is one of the last ones I was on last nite so you must have been stuck in my head. So funny! I just adore your space. But I most love that old drawer filled with goodies. What a fabulous idea. People throw away everything these days when there are so many uses for it all ... you don't even need the whole of its parts for it to be functional. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. Best wishes, Tammy

  40. Debra-
    Your special place is amazing. Everywhere you look must be a treat for your eye.
    My favorite spot is that big cozy chair.
    I could take a great nap there!

    Can I buy one of your necklaces???

    OK lady- how much???

  41. Just beautiful Debra! I love the old suitcases and trunks! This room is so you ~ thanks for sharing!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Debra,
    Girl, it's more amazing that I dreamed it would be. I would've made notes as I was reading so I could comment on each thing that made me drool. First off, that little cream satin coin purse on the plate....I think you still have my addy from when I won the crown. You can just pop that baby in the mail, K? Then your inspiration board that you just made, LOVE IT. As you saw, I'm a suitcase hound myself, your stack of white ones makes me very jealous. LOL The jeweled keys on the sheet music, beautiful! And the wonderful necklaces you create on the dress form took my breath away. Great tour! I gotta go back & look some more. Lisa
    BTW, did you see my crown? I forgot to credit you. Gonna go edit it.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Dear Debra! I am so pleased to have YOU be the one to inaugurate my comments! Thanks so much for taking a peek. I don't know about "mysterious" :), but (I know, I know), I do have an out-of-mainstream space. But I can see we do both enjoy collage! The best thing about this fun party is getting to see your faraway friends in their own lair. I love all the whites in your space, and the many interesting and appealing objects and elements. I would have no trouble nesting there! But the thing that strikes me the most is that chair! I'm never relaxed in my workspace--(that's not a bad thing)--but your space feels so inviting and therapeutic the way a good therapist's office would. No surprise there! Thanks for the peek around your room and for taking time to visit! xo Jacqueline

  46. What an incredible studio you have created for yourself. I also believe in surrounding yourself with what makes you happy! That is why my studio has no room for supplies, ha ha. I must find some old suitcases to store supplies in. What a fabulous idea.

    Love your blog, your Bible studies and everything you do. Thanks for helping and encouraging other women!

  107. Hi Debra ~ I just came from Your W.W. Post.... What a difference the Creamy Walls make ~ Now I do Love the Gold Walls, but I think the Softer tone does have a Calmer Feeling..... I am still hit all the Creative Studio Posts, I had camera trouble & had to wait till the new cord came yesterday to Finally Load My Studio Pics (stop by if you get a chance) Your Studio is Beautiful ~ Cream or Gold.... can't believe you turned it around & painted in such a short time (I Hate to paint, so it would have taken me Forever!)

  116. Hi Debra. Your space is very inviting. I can see why you spend so much time there. I have to tell you I love your botanical door (yes, I have been looking around), what a treasure you have in that book, and using the door to display some of them is so cool.
