Creative Spaces

Hello Sweet-peas,

I hope you all are having a wonderful summer, because we are! Its been hot, but the rain has cooled us off and made the garden greener.

Tonight, I've added some photos of our studio to facebook. Read the book Where Women Create by Jo Packman inspired me to work on our little room and share some photos. If you haven't read that book, its about the workrooms of creative women. The photos are simply breathtaking. I never imagined paint brushes could look so pretty in a container. After looking at that book, I couldn't resist painting the walls and putting my own pencils in a vintage cat planter.

Most people seem under the impression that our floral arrangements are created inside Camellia Cottage. The inside of the cottage is filled with fine china, linens, tables, and party guests. There simply wasn't enough room inside for all our parties and the florals. Our studio is actually located in the basement. The room is as large as a bedroom, painted a color called "cozy cottage", and has black and white tile floor. You can check out some of our new photos on our facebook album.

  1. I love your workspace, mine is such a mess, looks as if an elephant has charged through the rooms. I too love WWC and find both the magazine and books such inspiration, and your work space has also inspired me to get organised, then maybe some pic's will be posted...

    Have a good week

  2. How pretty and girly too. Very tidy as well. I have very little time now to be creative and make any crafts with working full time and helping to project manage the build of a new home. Love your blog :)

    All things nice...
