I'm working on fixing up my new studio space. I filled jars with lots of wonderful little bits and pieces. Now I can just look up and get inspired by them. There are lots of empty jars and even more empty drawers. I can't believe how much space I have in this wonderful old apothecary cabinet.
You can click that image above to get a detailed view.
I relocated my big A and my AMY letters to this room. It didn't seem very fair to have them in the family room without having a big R and RICH letters too. But this room is mine, all mine, and I can mark it with an A.
I made impromptu hat stands from some silvery candlesticks. Isn't it a pretty look?
And that candle is the best smelling ever. I picked it up at a store without checking first for the price. When it rung up at $50 I was too embarrassed to change my mind. Now I'm glad I didn't because it is so wonderful. Perhaps even more wonderful I'll admit because of its luxurious pricetag.
I fashioned a "window treatment" out of wonderful tea towels from Martha's Kmart collection. They might be better suited for the kitchen but they make me happy. I'm all about happy.
I tacked some old rick rack to the back of this area to make an inspiration space. I put some things that I love, love, love all around to make me happy. The teapot becomes a ribbon dispenser (that's a brainstorm I had last year). On the easel I have a positive affirmation card from Louise Hay to keep me on track.

your new studio is just awesome - I dream of having such a wonderful space, it must be hard to spend time anywhere else in the house!!!
Amazingly beautiful, Amy. I love the apothecary cabinet and all that you've done to your space to make it all yours!

Love what you have done with the cabinet..and the A and Amy letters. The silver candlesticks as hat stands looks fantastic as well!
Oh wow, that has to be THE single most wonderful creative space I've ever seen! Good thing that room isn't in my house, otherwise I'd never come out and my hubby & kids would NEVER see me!
What a fabulous studio, Amy...you can't help but feel inspired. Simply wonderful.
I'm simply green with envy, yet happy for you! Where did you ever find that cabinet. It's a stunning space and even more so because of your amazing creativity. Can I come visit?
isn't that fabulous!! I think you need to submit it to a design magazine and see if anything happens! Love it!!!
Oh. My. Word. Fantastic, just fantastic. Love the alternate uses for the teapot and candlesticks!
Amy, you should be in the Where Women Create book! Studio A is more inspiring than any other studio in the book. Have you seen it? It is by Jo Packam, and it is so good! Thanks for the inspiration. Glenn
You just never stop inspiring me---gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! I want to go in there & play with all of your goodies!
You are now the envy of the entire blogging, scrapping, decorating, collecting world! Theresa is right, you simply must submit to a magazine - what about Martha Stewart herself? Surely she would envy you also.
Amy! Those photographs need to be in a magazine! It's so beautiful! :)
That is an incredibly inpsiring corner of the world! I hope you enjoy every minute working in there.
That space is absolutely stunning! I'm soooo jealous!
It looks fantastic!! I am totally inspired to get to work on my space!
Party at Amy's house!!!
this is your actual studio?? and you get to work there?? OMG!!! I thought only "Martha" had such incredible digs!!! If i had this space i would not create anything for about 6 months, i would just sit and stare at the beauty of it.. and i would probaly move my bed in there, too. Congrats and all the best.
i'm in total lust!!

This studio has to be the absolute most wonderful creative space I have ever seen in my entire life, and ever will!
