So, my "studio" is a corner of our guest room/office, but I try to make the most of this. It requires constant reorganization as I acquire new things (hey, maybe if I just stopped doing that, huh?)... A couple of weeks ago I was at a vintage/antique show, where I got a couple of old, rusty tool/tackle boxes for a great deal at the end of the day. They're meant for decoration, but I put them to work! I love anything with lots of cubbies for organization, plus they're relatively portable. So since I spent most of a day organizing and filling them last weekend and have no art to show for it, I thought I'd show them to you...
I love how this one opens up...
This fishing tackle box has great adjustable spots on top for things like brads and nails and tiny things....
And since I LOVE seeing other people's studios and art areas, and seeing how they organize things, I thought I'd include a few pictures of my "corner", since my camera was out.... Admit it, just looking at it is making you claustrophobic...
And finally, I just had to share a couple of pictures of this fabulous hat my boyfriend bought for me at a garage sale!
that tackle box just makes me drool. it's like porn for artists. thanks for the peek into your creative space. awesome hat.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I loved sneaking a peek into your art space - those old tool boxes are GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteThe hat is fantastic, well done to fabulous boyfriend for spotting that hat for you!
Fantastic "share" Terri :D I love all your storage bits..mmmm..wonder if hubby has one of those tool boxes in the shed? :D XXX
ReplyDeleteYour boxes are brilliant - so much nicer than the plastic alternatives.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely seeing where you create..... no I don't feel claustrophobic at all just wishing I could come round to play..... darn that big pond!
Your boyfriend sounds a real sweetie.... I remember you saying how he is a good fixer of things too :)
Have a good weekend.....

Love those photos! To be quite honest, my crafty kitchen looks a lot worse. Your tool boxes are great; I have the more modern version made of plastic, not as pretty, but functional! Valerie
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, this is awesome! SO much fun to see - and I love all the little bits and pieces and the ways you have organized it. And what a sweet boyfriend ;0
ReplyDeleteOh! And I do see some room left to the right in that tackle box - so yeah, there's still room for buying more ;) xoxo
Ooh, those tool boxes are fabulous (I am now coveting them!). I have loved looking round your work space and seeing where you create - it's fabulous, and your storage shelves are works of art in themselves! Your labels on the shelves are gorgous and I have a strong urge to rummage!
ReplyDeleteI love the baseball cap - what a fantastic chap you have there!
Thanks so much for the nosey around - it's been great!
