Jewelry studio is done!...

I am excited to say that my new jewelry studio is finally finished! Well, I should say finished as much as it can be until this Spring when I remove that ugly wallpaper and replace it with paint. Here are some photos and descriptions for you. Please leave a comment and tell me what you think!

This is what you see when you walk through the door and turn to the right.  Those white doors are a closet.

This is the inside of my closet.  I've used sectioned drawer organizers to hold my vintage jewelry pieces.  I will need to buy a lot more as I have so much that still needs to be sorted.  It was a bit dark in there so I added a light.  I also put a 3 shelf book case in there for added storage.

This is just a closeup of the organizers that I am using.  You can find them at hardware stores or big chain stores.

Here is my desk.  I made it by taking stackable drawers and setting a piece of frosted glass on top of them.  I love it!  I can keep all of my jewelry making tools and findings in the drawers and the glass makes it seem more airy - and it's a great surface to clean up messes like glues, inks, etc.

Closeup of my desk.  Do you see the small book that I have sitting on an easle on the window sill?  I made this book and it's called "Things I Like".  It's dedicated to me and has photos of things that I like.  Like my feet in flip flops, my toenails painted a fun funky color, my laptop, my mug full of coffee, etc.  It's a nice reminder of the little things in life that make me happy.

This photo shows some of my toys that I had played with as a child.  My baby Chrissy and Baby Beans is sitting on my rocking chair.  My husband found me my Barbie Country Camper this year at an auction - box and all!  Also in this photo is a neat little curio cabinet that has a light on the top and one inside.  They can be lit one at a time or both at the same time.  The lampshade was a fun little treasure that I found a few years ago.

I love vintage and antiques and it shows in my studio.  Here is an antique dresser that I use to store all kinds of stuff.  Dressers, dry sinks, and secretary desks are really nice for extra storage!

This is the last photo that I have to share.  This dresser is a family heirloom.  It was rescued from an old shed.  Nothing was done to it other than a good cleaning.  You can see the original wood and some green paint underneath the white - it's so shabby chic!

This room makes me feel so happy when I walk into it.  I love the way that I was able to decorate it with my vintage toys and furniture...it really fits the design. of my jewelry and my motto of "what once was old is new again".

Thanks for taking a tour of my new jewelry studio - I hope you enjoyed it.  

My next blog post will be photos and descriptions of my craft room that adjoins my jewelry studio.  :)Michelle
