I can finally show you (unless you follow me on Flickr & you have already seen them) the photos of my new Creative Space ! Woohoo ! Nothing extremely fancy, all furniture was bought at Ikea. I wish, I really really wish I could have thrifted gorgeous things but I don't have a car, and it would have taken forever to reach the same result. So, basically, we bought two sets of Ikea "Expedit" shelves (4x4 "cubes"), and two desk add-ons. (don't know how to call them)
So this was the day they got delivered & assembled (NOT by us, it would have taken for-e-ver !! it was def worth paying more !) ...
Then this was the day when almost everything was at its final place ! Woohoo !
As you can see, computer side is on the left, and on the shelves on that side of the area, are displayed lots of cookbooks & craft books. (and the kids' cartoons too) On top are precious gifts from friends & a vintage leather case that my mom gave me.
On the right side, the sewing/crafty area, where the machine, fabrics, buttons, trims etc etc ... reside. On top of the shelves, glass jars, one contains embroidery floss, another contains hemp twines & other strings, and one is empty, for the moment I must add !
I think (and I had a vague idea it would be so) it helped bringing my mojo back, and I have started sewing and embroidering again, first for making a gift for a friend. This is what's on my table right now.
And this shows the start of a project I've been trying to figure out for a couple of weeks. I think I got a good idea, and with the help of my hubby, I hope we'll make it come true. Nothing extravagant, but if it works fine, I'll show you the result ! :)
OK, time to go to bed, tomorrow is U's 5th birthday, so we'll have my parents, inlaws & brother-in-law (it'll be his birthday too) at home. We'll be busy as you can guess. My baby will be five. I can't believe how fast these five years went by ...
Enjoy your day, my friends, every minute of it. Hug your loved ones a bit tighter today. Just because. oxoxo

ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll love working in your new space!

it must already be tomorrow in france so I am happy to wish your son a very happy fifth birthday. Have a wonderful day celebrating!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow Sonia, I LOVE what you have done with your creative corner! And I definitely envy your sense of neatness and organization :-) We have the Expedit 4x4 with the desk too, but it is the black version and sits in our downstairs Family room. It holds toys, books, games, papers, pens, colouring materials etc etc, anything the girls desire :-) On each side of it, the girls have their computers for playing games, studying etc. But it is really not as clean looking and neatly organized as yours... I shall have to show your photos to my girls, for educational purposes... hehe! You have done a really great job, ma belle :-)
ReplyDeleteA very happy 5th birthday to Umberto!! May all his wishes come true ;-)
Much love and care,
Susanne xxxx
