It is a nice sized room where I can relax and read a book or my favorite JDL magazines in a comfy leather chair and also where I sit at my desk and blog or pay bills. There are many drawers, boxes and shelving for storage and an old baby crib spring that I can use as an inspiration board. The architectural elements over my shelf is a nice added touch as well. Enjoy! xoxo K.
I love this little corner desk with an industrial lamp and old typewriter, which I receive many poems or letter from my youngest daughter. She loves to type away on that thing.
I found the "office" sign over a year ago and am so glad to finally have it hung. My husband made the top of my desk to fit two cabinets and I love how large it is with the sides to actually be able to write on or keep my printer.
Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out all the other inspiration on Karen's blog.

I love how you have everything so organized and uncluttered! My office looks like a tornado blew through it a few times. I have lots of "stuff" as is, but I'm always working on something, so there is always stuff out. I have a baby crib springs set too. I have in the playroom for my grandkids, and they hang their artwork on it and I put pixs of them on it as well. Have a great week-end!
ReplyDeleteTake care, Sue
Hey Kathleen,
ReplyDeleteYour room looks wonderful. You've put it all together to create such a special, warm and comfortable space...perfectly organized with interesting touches throughout!
I didn't even realize it was time for this event, and I have been working on my studio all week. I just move so slowly these days, and I'm determined to really organize, not just put stuff out of sight (my husband's favorite way). I started out wanting to have a bon fire, but it's coming along. I won't be joining the party, but I may post soon. I'm looking forward to hanging the 'Inspire' banner that I won from you way back in a special place!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Susie
Kathleen, your creative space is so serene~ though I'll admit as a kindergarten teacher, you won me over with your chalkboard.

I love this post, I have been wanting a space like that for sometime. Your post has inspired me to get moving on it. I showed my hubby this post and said this is what I want, he liked it too. I really love the colours you used and the furniture, love the bed spring thing above the desk, what a great idea. What a great space to sit and be inspired. You have done a wonderful job.
ReplyDeleteEverything in that room makes you want to come in and sit down. That leather chairs just does it. Nice job. Learned how to type on that typewriter.
ReplyDeleteKathleen, your space is amazing! I love the warm colors and that bookcase took my breath away. Oh the details of this room, I truly enjoyed this visit.
ReplyDeleteI just love your work room. It is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYour space is wonderful! I really am in love with it all - all things vintage warm my heart.... and you've put them all together so well. I'll definitely have to come back for inspiration from time to time... so glad that I found you & can follow, now. Would love for you to visit sometime....

This room is a delight! No wonder you feel creative whenever you are in it! Sigh. ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteOh Kathleen, it is just beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI love the mix of rich woods, worn leather, and rustic whites, it is just a perfect mix of your gorgeous treasures!!~
Hope you have a lovely weekend.
Sincerely,

I love the room. It is rustic and industrial and creative.
ReplyDeleteThat typewriter it is so interesting, and it is much older than the one I found for my poet and writer. A typewriter was on the top of my daughter's Christmas list. There is something appealing about it to children. Perhaps the simplicity of another time....
Oh Wow I am so inpsired. I have seen some magnificent office/craft spaces and this is one of my favorites. I am pinning lots of pictures on my dream boards! I always love your uses for salvage pieces and "junk" which become art in the ways you display them. Fantastique!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your workspace...and that reading nook with the worn leather chair is stunning! of course, so is the vintage typewriter and table set! gorgeous....thanks so much for sharing...you are inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI'm joining up with Karen for the first time this year....would love to have you stop by and visit, if you can!

I love your office style. The apothecary cabinet/card catalog (not sure which it is called) is what caught my eye at the french country cottage website. I'm going through your other room re-dos now, and I REALLY REALLY love your style. Have a blessed day! ~kiki (www.untamedperspective.com)
ReplyDeleteWow I truly love your style. Your apothecary cabinet/card catalog caught my eye at the french country cottage link party. Now I am enjoying looking through your blog at other rooms. I love the muted tones and antique accents! I would love to have ONE room in my home that was completely vintage and feminine! SO gorgeous... I enjoyed reading and will be back :) Have a blessed day. ~Kiki (www.untamedperspective.com)
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! Love all the vintage pieces you use as functional pieces.

ReplyDeleteIt gives me a lot of inspiration and I look and look and look at your pictures.
If there was a competition I would vote your studio nr. 1.
Hugs Eva Agnes
Hi Kathleen
ReplyDeleteA beautiful place to create - it has a feeling of tattered and worn with your comfy chair, (makes me feel totally relaxed!), books, old typewriter and those divine little filing drawers.
Who would have thought of a spring base for an inspiration board - I love that!
Thank you for sharing your inspirations with us and hopefully I can reciprocate.
Have a wonderful week touring,
Suzy

I would like to know where you found the burlap picture over your typewriter. I think I would like 2 of those beside my dining room hutch. They would look perfect in my space.
ReplyDeleteThanks

Well, I took a break from the everyday chores to be done and saw your post for your studio space! My first love is decorating, also, along with road trips to find inspiration. Right now I am redecorating the upstairs bedrooms and, as much as I love color, I enjoy the serenity of creams and their variations! Thanks so much for sharing and do come and visit my blog when you get a chance... I would love to have you over!!
ReplyDeleteIt just doesn't get any better than this. Your style is my kinda style. Maybe someday I can get the hang of it. Gorgeous photos, gorgeous studio..
ReplyDeleteLinda

Be safe and dream.

I love your look! So classy what a fabulous looking room!
ReplyDeleteWhat a dream space, I just love all teh white on white and the natural elements through out the whole space. And you have a wonderful collection of vintage & antique pieces, the old book collection and display is by far my favourite. True inspiration for my space to be : )
ReplyDeleteI love every element of your beautiful creative space. Every detail is so charming and your big comfy leather chair is icing on the cake. So inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI am totally drooling over your room! I love the library catalog drawers especially. I've been coveting and hoping to find some for years! I do have a scrapbook room and it's here if you want to look. http://www.martysmusings.net/2012/07/scrapbook-room-organization.html
ReplyDeleteAgain, great job on the room!
Your office is lovely. I just pinned it for inspiration. I wish I had such a lovely place to create. x
ReplyDeleteThis space is fantastic! Love the serene feel of the black and white. It's all just wonderful, but my two favorite items are your crib spring and the vintage file cabinet with the white washed finish. I have a vintage typewriter like that which I love. Now all I need is a fabulous office to go with it. lol!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jann
This is such a lovely, artistic room. You have a gift and you really know how to use it. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWhere you create just makes me swoon! I love everything about it. It's so cozy and inviting. I gave my daughter-in-law an old rusted metal crib to use for photoshoots. Now I'm wishing I'd kept it. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI love the feel of your beautiful space that invites you in. Your bed spring bulletin board makes me want to do the same in my little space. This is a room that I would love to have of my own! Thank you for sharing....Teresa
ReplyDeleteI love this room!
ReplyDeleteAn amazing space to create. I have been wanting old crib springs for over a year, but I haven't found one and I really have no place to hang it. I just love the look. Happy Creating!
ReplyDeleteYou have a gorgeous creative space; such a dreamy space. I love what you did to the vintage card catalog. Your work is beautiful! Thank you for the tour and thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteJust lovely! Charming, interesting yet serene, and cozy. Maybe this will help me get inspired to work on my own office! :) Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLove all the details in this room! Fabulous!
