Where Inspiration Dances

Pale turquoise ruffled and fur pillows,

upon a zebra print settee

Sheer curtains of soft white tulle

Dress forms, a vintage desk, display shelves and an easel

for this room where I create,

surrounding myself with light, calm and beauty.

 And a sparkling vintage chandelier,

with studio dog {or two} of course

The soft tulle curtains are from Ikea.
"Lill" and come two to a package, 110 x 98" each panel,
and cost only $4.99 a pack!  I needed more after
my visit there and found them available on the website
and ordered two more packs for another window.

The long window wall above has 12 panels
(6 packs for $30! Love love love it!)
I wanted many gathers to block viewing in,
yet to allow all the light to flow into this room.
The rods are also from Ikea and nothing matches
the price!  For the velvet curtains below (same store)
I used a 1/2 inch metal pipe from the electrical isle
at Home Depot ($2.00!) as the previous rod was
not strong enough and was bending from the weight.

This room opens into a smaller room with a craft table,

(on wheels so I can roll it into the larger room)

computer cabinet, art supply closet and tv

where often episodes of Downton Abbey are playing.

In previous studios

more supplies were visible

but this time, I am finding that I am more inspired

with less items cluttering my mind and soul when I work.

In my next post I'll show the closet interior

where I am organizing all my supplies.

(and a fun ribbon hanger)

We built this home last year.

My previous art studios have been so varied.

(we've moved several times over the years)

A room like this is not necessary to create,

I've worked in a small cluttered basement where I had to

step over boxes to get to my art table,

and on the kitchen counter.

~ So this spacious room is a wonderful retreat ~

where music plays and inspiration dances
