My Studio

I've decided to start calling my craft room my "studio."  I want it to be a place where I can do design work from home as well as craft and sewing projects.  It was just way too chaotic for me to design in there before.  I'm guessing some of you probably think it still looks too busy, but it's organized chaos now so it's much better for me.
 I wasn't planning on putting things on the walls until we painted it, got rid of the popcorn ceiling, and switched out the flooring.  I also hope to eventually have cabinet doors over the storage space on the wall.  All of those updates probably won't happen for a couple of years as it is pretty low on the remodel priority list so I finally decided to put some things on the walls.
I received a lot of fun artwork for Christmas.  All of it came from etsy sellers.  From top left: 1. Doily Clock by and furthermore 2. Bits and Pieces Print by Alice B. Gardens Photography 3. Otter print by Berkley Illustration. I actually bought this one myself at Crafty Wonderland.  4. Vintage Wooden Spools Print by HeyZee 5. My DIY cow.
The opposite wall was blank as well, but I ran out of artwork to hang.  The other day I tacked up a piece of scrap fabric to photograph for my paper crown project.  I actually really liked how it looked so I decided to keep it there and add other scrap fabrics to the mix.
This table is still a little cluttered for me to draw at, but I will fix that.  It is where I plan to do design work when I need to get out of the office.  It's not great looking, but it's a folding table so if I need extra floor space or if I have a hard time getting to some of my books I can easily take it down.
I just took a photo of this because I think it's so cute.  When we bought our house there was a random mini shopping cart in the backyard.  I decided to use it to store my felt.

I love productive weekends.
