A Cozy Spot For Creativity

Ever since I was a young girl, I have always needed a cozy spot where

I could be creative.  As you have probably come to know, I am a

nostalgic girl who is most comfortable in an atmosphere with lots of 

vintage touches.  So I have carved out a little spot just for me.  My Mac

sits on another big desk, but this little desk cost me exactly $2.00 and I

love it!

This is how it looked before I tweaked it.  Dark brown stain, gouges in the desk

top.  Not a very pretty sight.  But I fell in love with those curved shelves.  I knew

I could store sketch pads and water colors on those shelves.

So I painted the desk a soft green.  I added things I use and

things I love.

Notebooks from France and sketchbooks stored in thrift shop baskets

sprayed in white.  An old chair with a vintage chenille seat cushion.

A place for me to work on the sketches for the book I am writing

and illustrating.  Can't imagine what the subject matter can be

can you???

Do you remember the lampshade I tweaked last spring?  It is

living happily in my creative corner now.

I would ask Bentley to pose for me, but he is furious that there is a

cat next door who is taunting him from the safety of the other side of

the picket fence.  Wow is he ever mad!!!
