Design Crush Monday

Lately I'm allowing myself to daydream a bit more about our new home.  Before now it was too distant and too much needed to get done before I could swoon over designing rooms.  And while I'm still not in the house yet, we are at least close enough that I can start thinking about all those little things I just can't wait to do! 

Today I've been dreaming of my new Art Studio.  It will be upstairs in a tucked away corner of the house where I'll have the most peace.  It has one rather large window and a huge closet for all my extra supplies. I love having open shelving and pin-boards so I can access my paint brushes and tools quickly and glance over at my to do lists, projects and upcoming events.  And as usual, I love my earth tones!

Here's some Desk Inspiration:

  

 



And since we're making this our forever home I'll finally be able to splurge on some tools I've always wanted but never got.  So I'm seeing some serious closet organizing in my future! I adore the idea of seeing your tools, paints and craft accessories and having them displayed in cute containers that are just as sweet as the stuff they hold.  And perhaps a little spot for that sewing machine I've always wanted?!

I fell in love with the color pallet that was here in this house already, so I'm thinking of replicating it.  It's a two tone earthy brown and slate grey, so I'm thinking one of these pretty little color pallets will look beautiful in there.  I want to keep it light and bright but have that warm cozy feeling, too.

So this afternoon I finally allowed myself to dream a little dream of a cozy art studio full of music and life and many days of happy creativity... and how sweet a dream it was! It's so good to just let our minds wander sometimes and be inspired.
