Where Bloggers Create & I went picture happy!

Welcome everyone to my workroom, I am so excited to be a part of this AMAZING party! I uploaded a ton of pics so I'm not going to bore you with chit chat... I'll do that with my next post! Plus, Duane is giving me the evil eye because we reeeaaaalllly need to leave for a graduation party. Soooooo enjoy the space, I'm so happy there was a party so that I could get organized in here before Cams next week!
I love this speech, it really serves me well when I try and hide under my bushel.












These two pics of the doors are great inspiration... there pictures for me from Hannah and Max.




More inspiration, old photos always get my brain going...







I got these lanterns from the dollar tree, I can't wait til tonight so that I can turn them on and see them glow.






The old dollhouse holds more books and paints.







I have to thank Jane for this idea, now most of my trim is all wound up on yardsticks and I love it! Thanks Jane!




Thanks for stopping by, I can't wait to visit everyone's spaces when we get home! I loved doing this and I know my family is very happy that there was a party so that this space wouldn't look like an episode of COPS anymore! (I made a real mess of it before the barn show.) I don't think I mentioned it but this is the view from the living room, so when it's a mess and I don't usually (ever) close the pocket door well the whole house sees my mess.

    Girl you have got one heck of a space.
    I see some of my favorite pieces of your art hanging around and I can't wait til I can have Brooklyns art hanging around the house, too cute.

  6. Wonderful organizing solutions. Love all of the bowls and vases.

    That quote is also one of my favorites. I have it posted all over the place. FYI it is often attributed to Nelson Mandela, but the actual author is Marianne Williamson in her book "A Return to Love." Beautiful book by the way : )

  21. Theresa,

    Well of course I knew it would be a wonderful space. It is whimsical and eclectic and full of fun and charming trinkets. I have noticed that most of these studios really reflect out personalities, don't you think? You are always super busy and fun loving and have many varied interests and it all shows here in your space. Uh oh, I wonder what mine says about me other than a little OCD? haha

    Enjoy your weekend. I'l still be sitting her on Monday trying to make the rounds to everyone!

    You can never overdo it with "pictures". WE LOVE PICTURES.

    What a great post and an amazing space. I so enjoyed visiting this morning and getting a little glimpse into your creative heart and your work.

    It was a great way to start of a lovely Sunday morning. Just you and me and the bird's singing. lol

    Lovely, lovely place to create.

  38. Hi Theresa, this is my first time visiting your blog but I will definitely become a loyal follower! Love all your vintage finds, especially the picture with the white bowls (I think it's pic #7 from that wonderful speech). The two bowls in front..well I received two of those from my grandmother. I can remember her mixing up some sauce to go with a salad we were having. Anyway, I picked up another three but never thought to use them in the studio to hold all my trinkets! Thanks for the inspiration!
    I'm participating also, so stop by Grace Goods and say "Hi!"

  61. What a great creative space you have. Just wonderful! There are so many neat things to look at, I wish we could all get together for real and just have fun playing together. Could you imagine having a neighborhood full of creative people. Wow, that would be cool, "knock, knock, could I borrow a cup of glitter?" Really love the way you've stored all your lace and trim on the yard sticks. Great idea!

  75. First let me say your BANNER is 2DIE4 wonderful. OK, now the studio... GREAT!!!! I have a white dresser much like yours & think I need to use it in my studio instead of at the storage unit... My all time favorite idea was the old doll house full of fabric & paints. PERFECT & CUTE! Hope you weren't late for the graduation party. Sorry I was late in starting my visits but, we had to keep the GRANDS over the weekend. And thank you for sharing your studio. Hope you will come by to visit me too. Charlene

  81. Oh so many things that I want to comment on (things I love in your space), the old tins, baskets, lace and pictures. Really lovely space you got there, and I like how you made the drafting table to the center computer desk and the storage under it. And the storage for all the lace, also I have to ask, where did you get the brown or grey pom-pom lace??? Love it.
