The main things I wanted when I decided this was my birthday gift priority, was to make my room both more practical, giving me more space, more working room, and also to make me feel more inspired in how I work.
I'm so happy with all my choices! We already have some built in storage in this room and I had an old bookcase and a wooden table for my art. I found the room could feel a little dark so I really wanted to open it out for the light, and to feel a sense of expansion in my work. I chose a table and as we were looking at what would fit, I had a declutter and found I could free up so much room by moving my bookcase and existing table closer to the window, freeing up room for a new desk. We took down the curtain and nets which were making me feel the space was too dark, and put up a gorgeous floral blind instead.
Finally over the desk I've now got small shelves and also an inspirational hanging space for pictures and images I hope to have as a mood/inspiration space. Oh yes - and I even got a new pink chair!
The light is so much better now and I feel much more free to create the kind of work filled with love, light and joy that I enjoy creating.
