I thought you might enjoy seeing where I work. As I type this I am sitting in the black chair in the picture above.
I am surrounded by just a little bit of color.
This is my life size version of Grandmother’s bed as initially built in my dollhouse story “The Red House”.
It is my favorite cozy spot.
If you turn around as you stand in front of the bed, you will see my beautiful marble corner sink. And it works! To the right is my new sewing closet.
Originally this space was 2 separate closets and a shower, each opening off to a different room. I combined the three space into one with access now from my studio.
View from the new sewing closet back to the main work desks.
And now you can see where the bears live.
The second half of my studio is devoted to my hand embroidery.
One wall scene.
My beautiful painted table! Many years ago a department store had used it as part of a Christmas display. I snatched it up after the holiday.
When I first brought the library ladder home my husband whisked it away to his downtown office where he had the space and the need to put it to use. Of course his real concern at the time was that he would have to build a room tall enough to accommodate it if it stayed at the house.
Now I have the right space, and he no longer had the need. It worked out perfectly!
I hoped you enjoyed the tour!
Thank you so much for this visit and tour of your magical space of creativity. I feel special just to see how enchanting your surroundings are. You must feel like a doll in your dollhouse! Blissful…
So glad I can share my special space. I am so lucky to have such a beautiful place to work.
Janet, your space is absolutely MAGICAL, wonderful!!!!I bet children would think they were in Magic Land if they saw it. What a space!!Thankyou for sharing!
HI Judy,
Kids do love it! Crawling up into the bed is the first thing most young visitors want to do.

What a beautiful, magical space for creating Janet. It looks like a wonderful place to spend an afternoon stitching. Thanks for letting us have a peek inside 🙂
yes I so agree a magical place, you must love being in there and I can see creativity will flow endlessly. So colourful and place for everything and everything in its place, congratulations on your tidiness. What a great way to keep your machine embroidery cottons, mine are in 2 drawers and are for ever getting tangled up with each other.
One very simple question my I come a stay for a week or two it seems a cozy spot to get some work done and I just love the color you know I am afraid of color. LOL all my best to you dear friend Brian
I love when friends visit.
And, I LOVED my stay in Grandmother's bed. I'm sure that as I slept I soaked in just an ounce of the amazing creative juices that are flowing in that room. You are so special, Janet!
Your space is absolutely amazing! I love all the colors and pictures within pictures (like at the base of the bed.) You do incredible work! I just found you, and needless to say, you have a new follower. Thank you for sharing.
