Before I show you the studio
reveal I though I would share with you some of the inspiration photos which set
the whole project in motion and what I saw when I looked at them. Everyone gets inspired by something different,
for some it is color, for others it may be composition or graphics or how a
room makes them feel upon entering it, for me it is all of those things that
help me decide what direction I will go in during any given project like this. Here is a bit of what inspires me and why.
When I first saw this photo I
loved the bold pops of color and the work surface facing the window which
bathed the room in bright white light.
This particular room had wall
color similar to my studio and had the double long work surface facing a large
bank of windows just like my space. This
was what I wanted for my own creative room and really inspired me to
just go for it.
Total eye candy with the
turquoise and pops of red with large windows in front of long work
counters. This sewing room caused me to
consider putting my counters into an L configuration instead of one long 14
foot counter and maybe adding bright pops of hot pink to my black, white and
ice blue color scheme.
I loved the bright white and
clean lines of this sewing room, the simplicity spoke to me. My studio was so cluttered with small keepsakes
and full counters I wanted something different.
A very clean streamlined room
hosting three windows and one long work counter with two work stations, just
what I was looking for, right on target even though I knew I would never get my
space that clutter free, but I sure was going to try to clean it up a lot. As you can see all of these rooms are different but with common threads throughout; multiple windows with work stations placed in front of them with long counter tops and dual work stations.
Now you have a pretty good
idea of what types of photos inspired me to organize and reconfigure my studio;
these were only a few of the hundreds of images I viewed of creative rooms and
storage/organization ideas before I got down to work. If you are looking for inspiration of your
own you can view my Pinterest boards by clicking on the large red PINTEREST word on the right side bar of my blog

Thanks for letting me share a
bit inspiration with you today, you know what comes next so keep an eye out for
the progress of the studio transformation, it is coming right up.
See you soon.
