rolls of colour

Seen @ Fjeld Borg

Am loving this simple home craft work space.

It's simple but effective in the sense that it has the space

for everything that you would need within reach.

A good place for artsy craftsy stuff.

Doesn't help that this space is filled with lovely bits of colour

and has awesome rolls of patterned/coloured paper.

Home Office Interiors #5 ~ Donna Downey

I have always been obessive about scrapbook/arts & crafts studios/workspaces. Photos after photos of lovely inspiring interiors have come my way... some eloborate. some simple. some really fancy. some really pretty. some small. some large. some looking pretty expensive and some very functional. You can see some of my previous posts on Home Office Interiors {check under labels} if you want to be inspired a little more.

Anyways, moving along. I was interweb surfing {again} and chanced upon Donna Downey's studio and I just had to share it with all of you in great detail. I like its simplicity and its fucntionality ~ everything has a place for itself here. And of course I was green-eyed jealous when I saw all her stamps, papers, fabric, tools and the like. So, go ahead. Enjoy the pictures below. Hopefully you will be inspired to either a) redecorate your space or b) arrange your supplies a little better or c) go out and get yourself more supplies! Enjoy 

*smiles smiles*

Lovely fabric arranged neatly by colour ~ I am starting to 

like fabric these days *gulps*

Punches galore!!! {would love some of them}

Wooden stamps were organised in many many drawers

according to the type of stamp it was. 

This was one of her drawers for quotes and words!

Another weakness of mine ~ Ribbons. 

A good way to display your books.

The shelf is from Ikea I believe.

Loving the red.

Packets and packets of pretty rub-ons ~ loves.

Everyone needs adhesives.

A corner of her craft room ~ loving the natural light and

functional paper tray and caddy.

Am super loving these inspiration boards and walls!
There is seriously such a huge wealth of ideas and
inspiration on the interweb!
Am thinking of developing a large inspiration board for
my study/craft room in the Love Nest and also to beef up the
soft furnishings for the Love Nest!
My fav you ask? Don't have one yet ~ it's going to be tough picking one!!!
Have some ideas already for the living/dining room and our study.
Feel free to provide me with ideas, photos and even Love Nest donations *snickers*

I am in like with Robin Eggs Blue *smiles smiles smiles*  What's not to like? Soothing. Calming. Serene. It brings to mind a spring day, a little chilly with some warm weak sunlight. Went a little wild and collected so many awesome examples of my Robins Egg Blue in the living & dining room, home office, bath, bedroom, kitchen and a host of other odds and ends in this gorgeous colour. I hope you enjoyed looking at these pretty photos. I think this colour is growing on me fast!!! *grins grins grins*

Home Office Interiors #4

Seen @ Home Office Design

Whilst working on Project Love Nest, I have had the joy of thinking about the kinds of furniture to buy for our little home office/reading room/arts and crafts space. I am still getting ideas and am trying to source for items that are reasonably priced which is a difficult task {B and I have been spending heaps on getting our little Love Nest furnishes}. 

I truly enjoy going through these various home office interiors because they provide me with inspiration and this bubbly feeling in me which I believe can only be excitement!! *snickers* Here are some of my thoughts about these couple of interiors:

Photo 1: A simple black and white design which I like. I am particularly fond of the black wall and the shelf of black and white pictures. It is a very tasteful room and something that B would probably be okay with since the home office/reading room/arts and crafts space will have to be shared between the both of us. We are both fans of black and white pictures!

Photo 2: This photo is not really a home office per se. It seems more like a little nook or something but it works to keep everything tidy and in a home where space is limited, this might work. However, I am not liking the fact that there is no space for stretching ones legs. I am liking the wood floors and the green cupboard though.

Photo 3: I love the wallpaper!!! I love the turquoise accents!!! I love the white!!! A winning combination but still just a nook and not a work office proper. Still loving the wall paper!! *grins* 

Photo 4: This is a really nice sewing space. I love the windows and the shelves to store the bundles of cloth. I especially love the chair with its cheerful pink fabric and I kinda like the dustbin as well... {I know I have odd taste!}

Photo 5: I like the clean white look of this little nook but its too white... I prefer bursts of colour these days. What I love best about this photo, the board {cork board?} on the table that can hold ideas, notes, photos, postcards and etc {all the things this hoarder loves!}.

Photo 6: Out of all the photos, this one would be the one that would be easiest to build. Simple shelves to house our books and odds and ends, a sturdy table with leg room for the computer or writing and what appears to be a table that can be used for the computer and other things like cutting paper. I like that there is a bare wall to hang a large painting and windows for sunlight and staring out at the world as it passes by. 

Which is your favourite room?
