It was like few weeks after I quit my ‘big job’ when I had this conversation with my sister :: told her I desperately need my own little corner ::  just one little desk of mine where I can gather my ideas and my creation energy all together :: a little place for me :: few days later I had a small wooden platte getting dried, outside at our back balcony, with a fresh pale blue colour on it :: This pale blue wooden plate became my desk :: It started from just one little corner taken at my husband’s home office :: as mentioned in my about page the rest is history :: But I really want to share with you this little moment when I realised that after quitting my job, I did’t have my own office anymore and I missed it :: I missed my own desk with all my things beautifully organised on it :: I think this was the moment when I realised that having a little creation corner is a huge part of me being a designer :: it’s really nice to have a pretty basket with yarns and hooks beside the sofa in the living room or to have a huge pile of magazines and inspiration book beside the bed but it was’t enough :: a little desk was missing here ::so here I am today sharing my little creation corner with my husband E, in a spare bedroom :: overlooking a little balcony garden :: It is unbelievable how it slowly became what it is today, not to mention, with almost zero money invested :: not in one day of course :: and it’s always in a move :: I always add something or take out something :: it’s part of my design state of mind and definitely is a reflection of my mood :: Now after a while having my little home studio I think it is really what I was looking for :: something beautiful and inspirational but also very useful :: the journey of creating a home studio that is both inspiring and practical is an ongoing journey for me :: and I’m so thankful for that :: My new recycled wooden desk is made by my talented friend Omer Avivi who is not just very creative but also has a smart approach for proportions and different materials :: This shelving unit was originally made for Maya (our eldest) I planed it for her newborn princess room :: it was such a perfect baby station in her first room :: before it moved to our home studio it was full with boys toys at our boy’s room :: thinking of it, we actually used it for few different functions since we first had it in Maya’s room ::And this shelving unit is also a recycled wood we had in our first apartment, ages ago ::   The Granny Kit cotton collection is all set by colour groups in some custom made Birch boxes :: at first I only ordered 3 of them and slowly added more and more as the cotton collection grow up to almost 80 different colours :: this way of organising my cotton colours in small boxes is actually very portable so when I have a workshop out at our living room we all move them out to the kitchen island together ::And this frame is showing the “meeting point” of our tables next to each other :: see his mess at the side of the Dutch shoes? :: This white lacy shelf on the green ikea shelf is from eina :: we live very close here in the same neighbourhood :: I love her laser cut products for home :: the shelf is waiting to be hanged somewhere in the studio :: not sure yet where to hang it :: I have 3 different pretty options/places… not easy…Our back balcony is one of the most exciting things about our studio as it has a very nice view and in a clear weather day we can see Jerusalem mountains from here :: but even just getting a bit of fresh air while working is really a gift :: or just to sit and think of something new… or just looking inside…
This is how it looks from outside :: day light :: I took my camera out for you so you can get a full perspective at my little corner :: always have a cup of coffee at my desk :: always :: Really hope you enjoyed this studio tour I made for you today :: hope you like my little crafty studio place :: I’ll be more than happy to hear about your little corner :: even the smallest :: tell me what is your home studio looks like or will look like when you have one some day :: In the meantime I’ll get back to write down my new Chevron pattern for you and don’t forget it will be FREE to my blog subscribers as soon as it is ready at my shop :: tell your friends so they can join in and get subscribed :: I’ll e mail you a coupon code which you can use for downloading my Chevron pattern for free :: see you soon :: xoxMo
