I have to call it a space because that is what it is. It's not a room. It's not a studio. It's a space. A 4 feet x 6 feet bit of space to be exact (if you count all of the rug). It located in my bedroom (something I don't recommend, but under current circumstances could not be helped) and it was a strain to get a vertical shot of the thing! But here it is, in all it's mini-glory!
Basically, I tried to use things I already had around the house. I supplemented it with stuff from Ikea, Antique Shops, and Home Goods (for my budget). I tried really hard to stick to the basics—storage and lighting. I added the numbers because I was inspired by a page in a Pottery Barn decorating book. I REALLY wish I could paint the wall to give everything a nice pop...but since I can't paint, I'll try to bring in color other ways (for example, I'd love to paint that wood table I have that is acting as my desk).
My big bargain buy was a total accident! I got that new chair for $12 down from $150 at Home Goods. It's a great basic color and I can see recovering it in the near future. I'm also in love with the lamp!
This is the top view of the shelves. I bought the shelves from Ikea. Since I have so little space, I worked my way up to utilize space.
My desktop...lots of sketching, facebooking, and designing happen here.
Here was my "number" inspiration to help tie things together a bit. It makes it all a little more graphic:). I printed numbers, used sign stickers, and house numbers.I need a seriously big number to put on the wall but haven't found one yet.
Here's the inspiration for the numbers: A Pottery Barn decorating book.
My tray on the desk keeps me "organized". Well, sort of, I just dump things in it. It makes the desk less cluttered. It also holds my ugly hard drive (hidden under my Arts & Crafts book!).
Here are my easy-peasy tags for my jars. I used My Minds Eye Rub-On Alphas and printed out the tags from these templates I made. You can download them here:
They are the same tag, set up for print-ready.
These are the My Minds Eye RubOns.
Setting it up on my computer:
I love the rubons because they are so simple and really take all the work out of this project.
Hope you enjoyed! I'm sure I"ll be changing this minispace as I find more "stuff." I especially want to add more color. Have a great Saturday!
