I too am always looking at ideas for creative spaces, but at this point do not have my own designated room for my work. I have an area of our very large living room, and although it works just fine, I'm always dreaming of my own space with a door and oh so much more! Your nook looks inviting, and it seems your companion loves it too! heyjudephotographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098165048025314116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-39661364629829229122014-02-17T08:06:32.737-08:002014-02-17T08:06:32.737-08:00You have a really cozy corner, and a sweet mate to...You have a really cozy corner, and a sweet mate to keep you company. I do have a room now that everyone is now gone, and right now it is a mess, and definitely needs some hands on clean up and neatness. And one whole side of my basement is filled with all my rubber stamp supplies, paper, stuff, and definitely needs some cleaning out. I see garage sale in the future.

There were already built-ins and a nice large closet so it was perfect. My computer and wide-format printer are there and I added a nice high work table because I like to stand when I scrap. But it is amazing how many scrapbooking supplies you can amass when you have the room to store them! It is my plan to try to whittle them down to only the ones I know I'll use but it's like cleaning out your closet. You keep saying to yourself, "Well this is cute. I know I'll use (wear) it someday" and back in the closet it goes. I need to be ruthless! Maybe if I free up some space I can think about matting and framing my own stuff. Thanks for this fun and thought-provoking post, Carol!terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-39701833092806772452014-02-17T07:02:56.873-08:002014-02-17T07:02:56.873-08:00I have a room upstairs that I could use, but I don...I have a room upstairs that I could use, but I don't like being isolated up there! Windows have solar screens and it hard to see outside and that just doesn't work for me. I have to be able to see my backyard, just in case that one of kind bird or butterfly stops by lol! <br />Great post and video!

I work at a desk in an open area upstairs, but am going to move my desktop into the other room so I can have a quiet place to work (shut the door). I still need another small table that I can saw at and hammer on, but where to put it - where to put it!! I can't even begin to think about matting and glass and frames...oy, my head hurts, lol! Loved seeing the spaces you shared, and yes Michael's voice alone is very calming. (P.S.

I'm not nearly as advanced in the way of printing as you are, but it's nice to have a place for all my gear and my books. Across from my desk is a big comfy chair that I like to curl up in and read. To borrow a title from Virginia Woolf, I have "A Room of My Own". : )Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09049463440095119744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-25814621755972360352014-02-17T05:14:27.522-08:002014-02-17T05:14:27.522-08:00i can totally relate to this! we have a teeny ups...i can totally relate to this! we have a teeny upstairs office that i recently decided to take over with my scrapbook and photography stuff. it needs way better organization, but it's nice to have a dedicated space. we have an old house too, so i feel your pain!kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05153095149911030832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-28845424390278971662014-02-17T05:01:44.821-08:002014-02-17T05:01:44.821-08:00Oh, my!

Yes, we all dream of that 'perfect studio', don't we? I'm fortunate that I do have the use of a whole room. We turned one of our bedrooms into an office years ago. Then when I began photography, I just kind of took over the whole room, closet and all. Now is it organized? That's a post and a task for another day! {As I watched the video, I found myself wondering how heavy that camera bag must be!}Dottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811399388989716265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-74097276748253401442014-02-17T04:47:35.849-08:002014-02-17T04:47:35.849-08:00You have a good eye Pam!..
