Remember the sewing desk I worked on last March? It took me forever to figure out what I wanted to do with this desk. I was inspired by this piece by Michelle Allen of
Allen Design Studios
What I love about this is the white painting over a very colorful under painting. So I did a very colorful under painting and left it for a while, unsure what to paint over it.
When I started decorating my bedroom I knew I wanted to go with a night/star theme. Up until a couple of weeks ago my sewing desk was in my dining room. I started moving my art stuff out of there to make room for an actual dining room table and decided to make a little sewing nook in my bedroom, so I knew I wanted to paint start on the desk. Simple stars with a lot of white, very little of the colors showing. I drew stars in chalk and painted over them. Here are some close ups.
I still need some cool handles.
Here's my little sewing nook, I am in love with it. It's a lot more secluded and intimate than my former sewing space, and I am very comfortable creating here. I even made a quick plywood chalkboard for ideas (or sweet little love notes to my hubby).
Some nice sunlight coming in during midday. I also made a little ruffle curtain to cover my bookshelf.
So what do you think? Could you create here? Do you prefer wide open spaces to create in, or do you like to tuck away in a corner and make stuff?
