work space

It's taken almost a year of me living here to finally get reeeaaaallly close to the finish line of decorating this little humble abode of mine and David's. One of the most challenging rooms for me to finish (who am I kidding? to get started on) was our workroom. David calls it the "Office" because we are not allowed to call it the "Sewing Room". ;)


So I'll just call it our work space.


And I'll show you what it has come to (from being in shambles with tons of boxes scattered everywhere for months).

The details:

{David got me that Singer tin "photo" in England on his business trip.
Photos of my grandparents}

{The Lovely Lady Pilot my friend, Nicole, painted for me. 
A few stuffed animals I made and ornament, my material
and a painting I made a few years ago}

{My Singer and a photo I took of my love}




{Craft and sewing books.
Rubber stamp collections}
Photos of loved ones:
{The collage of old & new}

{My nieces}

{My grandpa holding my mom when she was little.
Elephant statues brought back from Africa by my grandparents.}

{My young grandma.

{Photo booth shots of my grandpa}

{My grandma and her sisters}
My collections:
{Some classics}

{David Sedaris & Chuck Palahniuk}

{Plays & Theatre books}


{Poe, my favorite}

What a feeling of accomplishment to finally be finished with this room! Hope you enjoy the photos!

I love your sewing desk! I WISH I had a space like that to store all my sewing and craft things (and a place to sew for that matter :)
And I really like all your decorating.

Love your work space! I wish I more space in my house for a something like that. By the way, Dizzy & Jimmy is one of my favorite books of all time. I could read it a thousand times!

Court: You are awesome <3

Adrian: Weren't you so totally intrigued with the story?? I read it years ago, but every time I see it on my shelf I think, "I should read that again!"

Jenny: I've mostly just sewn stuffed animals and curtains so far. But if I can dig them all up I'll take photos and post them! You're gonna love sewing, it's so fun!
