Cottage Wishes creative space -where bloggers create

A place to dream, explore and play.
Welcome to where I create. I am excited to show you my creativity haven. We recently moved into our new home and I have had so much fun getting my stuff out of boxes. Thanks to Karen we get to peak into each others spaces.
I love displaying my finds and creations. Over my desk is a sweet doll crib slat, a sweet picture and a saying from the Wizard of Oz 

 My desk came from an old house that a coworkers father took out during a renovation. I love the color and design. This is solid, chippy and mine to create at. As you can see I left my desk as is.  My journal, fabrics and favorite items at the ready.  Beside the desk are my suitcases filled with fabris, laces and papers. A girl always needs her supplies close at hand
I collect shoes, pink boots a sitting on a bench
My desk chairs are painted with Paris Grey and reupholstered in feed sacks. My sister in law was going to give these away since they did not sell. I had a vision on what to do with them and l am pleased how they turned out.
I write to surrender my thoughts to paper. Somehow it is comforting to randomly let the words flow out

Sweet friends sit next to me while I play
I have had this area created when we decided not to have steps to a basement. The center fit perfectly and houses my books, papers and supplies. I opted to have the tv hung so I could watch HGTV or my favorite shows. 
I have my cabinet jam packed with supplies
My cabinet is near the desk so I can just open
 My items are arranged in a specific non order
 My original work in the back
 I have myframes, bobbins and collectibles scattered around. 
 Favorite memos of my family are displayed 
 This is a project to do in the future. I do love shabby pieces


Well, I enjoy working with family pictures that bring back sweet memories



And last is a twin bed just in case my grandsons decide to join the fun


Thanks for visiting  Di.  Hop on over to join our friends.  http://www.mydesertcottage.com/

    I had to laugh at the phrase "arranged in specific non order." I like that. And of course, I like your incredible room, too. Filled to the brim with goodies for making art, it doesn't feel the least bit cluttered or crowded. I had fun looking through your eclectic things.

    Love your sweet friends and that Humpty Dumpty is wonderful as well! Your desk is great. I am a big fan of anything chippy! I wanted a crib spring to hang in my space, but never found one and ordered a chicken wire board from Décor Steals. Love your little one!
