This is my second time participating in
hosted by the lovely Karen at My Desert Cottage.
Welcome to my studio
It's the place where you can usually find me!
June 2010
(these walls really were not mustard,
but I just couldn't get a good picture in here)
I've made a few changes in here,
the one with most impact was painting the walls a creamy white.
Seeing the photos from last year prompted me to get out the paintbrush.
(I seem to have a small addiction to paint...)
This is my computer station where I do most of my blog.
My vintage worktable...
always piled with ideas for new projects
with old train cases, suitcases, and trunks full of paper supplies.
This sweet satin partial manny is my model for my jewelry photos
for my Etsy Shop
I use "found items", and old jewelry pieces to create one of a kind key pendants.
watch pendant
Last fall I painted out a cupboard to hold jewelry supplies.
And a chippy shelf holds a variety of fun items.
"watch the birdie!"
Birds are a favorite theme in my studio
I recently put together these altered art hanging photo album pages
with vintage bird graphics.
They'll be in my Etsy store soon.
My over stuffed comfy chair with ottoman and vintage standing lamp
Every studio needs a spot to relax
An old piesafe holds other craft supplies
This is Irma, named for my paternal grandmother
who also models for me.

Your space looks just lovely! I need to work on mine but I keep getting side tracked!:)
Thanks for sharing your great space with us.
I would love to have a room just for all my "stuff". :D
WOW! Debra, this is so beautiful. I wouldn't ever want to leave. Love your pie safe and all the creamy whites. Thanks for joining me at Home Sweet Home too!

Debra - Such a marvelous spot for creative juices to flow! You have filled it with all of my favorite things! The dolls are a particular fancy of mine - although my daughter would be totally creeped out by the doll heads in the basket! She doesn't like any of my babies. Now, I know the little lady seated in front of the bird picture in the salmon colored gown and bonnet - is that a Horseman doll with rolling tin eyes? If so - it is my mother's doll which I now own, sitting with another circa friend from the late '20's in their repro carriage with lace umbrella. I've got to do a doll post! I'm redoing my space - but it is VERY small. Thanks for some inspiring ideas!
Joy!

Hi Debra! Oh, I just knew where you create your magic would look wonderful and you didn't disappoint! Your workspace is gorgeous!
Be a sweetie,

It's no wonder you're always creating such beautiful treasures. Your space is amazing! I'd never want to leave the room:-)
Your studio is gorgeous and huge! I love it, now I know why you create such beautiful jewelry, you have the right place for inspiration. I really love your studio.
Have a wonderful day!

gosh, Debra...I LOVE it! *SOMEDAY* I will get my act (er, stuff) together to create such pretty place to work! THANKS for sharing with us!
Rene
I'm so pleased to visit your studio again this year, Debra! You are my first visit for the Where Bloggers Create party. Love the new wall color {don't happen to remember the name, do you?}. I also love the furniture you have in here. Your computer area is so pretty it's no wonder you have posts filled with such beautiful pics. Love the table and your manny, too! There is a good chance I will be having my own little room when we downsize. I am really looking forward to that and hopefully, by next year's party I'll have a proper "room" to show off. I'll have my post up in the morning. : )
This looks like such a nice and cozy place to create. I also enjoyed your photos of your living room. I really liked how everything turned out after the paintbrush got a hold of it:-)

Thank you for the tour Debra!
You have a wonderful place to create in!
i got a glimpse of your studio last year and see you've made some changes for this year! As you know, i just love the "cream color" palette. it is soo calming especially when one has oodles of supplies on hand. your creative space is absolutely divine! i love the dress form with the white lace dress and all of your lovely necklaces. i also wanted to say "merci" for your very kind compliments about my own studio. coming from the queen of perfection herself...it means soooo much!
Debra, Touring your creative space was a pure delight! We like a lot of the same stuff so your space really spoke to me! I love the pieces of furniture you have in your room. All of your little vignettes are all so artfully displayed. Thoroughly enjoyed my tour! Xo, Sue

Hi sweet Debra!!!! I just LOVE, LOVE your studio!!!! So much goodness, I would love to dig around I can tell :) Your jewelry creations are so beautiful and I love that you have the dress form on the ready for a photo shoot, right by the window too!! It's so wonderful to peek into your creative space, I can see how you are inspired! hugs and love, Dawn
I love your big comfy chair. I have one in my studio too and I love, love, love it! I am getting a kick out of how many people have named their dress forms. I guess I will have to name mine. Thank you for sharing your space.
Love it!!! It is so soothing and warm and inspirational, when you have white on white (or cream on cream). Really love what you did to your space, and I know the issue too well when it comes to yellow walls. We painted our kitchen soft yellow (cream cupboards), and its a very soft yellow, but we took a picture and it turned out almost like we put the sun in there on full blast. So needles to say, its going some time soon!!! Lovely space and I really enjoy reading your blog posts, so I will come back for sure.
Happy creating and summer to you,
Mari
Loved the tour! Your space oozes creativity!
What a beautiful creative world you have out there! Your space is awesome and you do lovely work! I enjoyed my tour.
