Have you ever picked up the magazine "Where women Create"? It's put out by Stampington & Co., and it's quarterly magazine shows the amazing places where women create. It's pretty incredible, some of the spaces that they show, whole floors of homes turned into creative spaces, fabulous rooms, to die for spaces. Come on in, this is where I create, this is my space.
This place is my sunroom / office/ shop at the moment. It's where I take my photo's because the light in here is amazing even in the grayest of the winter.
I'm not a crafter, you won't find me creating in that way, but what I am is a visualizer. I create with my eyes, my sense of style, and my brain never seems to want to stop. A girlfriend commented the other day, she said, " do you ever stop"? And the truth is.. No. I wake up in the middle of the night with new ideas, and have to jot them down. I am a visual person. I don't create with my hands, I create with my eyes. I carry my camera around with me everywhere, because there is beauty everywhere, its just knowing how to find it.
This is where I work now that there is no more shop. This is my shop. This is where I read to my children. This is where I have my morning cup of coffee {minus the croissants, thank you}. This is where I start my day. This is where I catch up on your day to day, and let you know about mine. This is where I wrap and package your orders.
Now you know where I work.
Have a great Monday!

Looks like sooo much fun, I would have a field day in there with my camera! Love, love, love, did I say love, wait let me say it one more time, love that couch and the light in the room is fabulous...I just hand a pang of jealousy, I hate that feeling. darn it! Thanks for sharing, I also like the heater grid...te hee! And also where did you get that spool of ribbon on the end...the linen colored one? :)
Just perfect!!!
So very pretty and organized...I just looked over at my work table--I think a small bomb just went off!
well, I have been busy crafting this morning (I made a purse from an angora sweater!!It's adorable!)
I love the bird hook. Also, the little glass jars for paperclips. Great stuff.
{sigh} I'll go clean up now.

What a charming space! It has such a paris flea market vibe to it which of course I LOVE. And that love seat is absolutely to die for. It couldn't be cuter. And what a nice sunny creative spot to work at - lucky you!
What a pretty place to start the day! And all that glowing light...aahhhh:)
Hey - I just bought that magazine today (the 2nd issue) - so fun! I LOVE your sweet space - it's perfect and so inviting! Very nice!!
Lets just say a loud sigh!!!! Perfect spot to start your day! The light is dreamy and with the couch (sigh) again... I'm spying quite a few goodies in your "creative spot" ....so so glad you shared your room!!!

Gorgeous place to spend your days. It's so you!
Great space Kasey! I love seeing where people work and find inspiration. One of these days I will clean my space up enough to show where I create;) We are definitely kindred spirits in the way that we think. I too wake up often with my head spinning with ideas. I keep a journal on my nightstand to capture all of my late night brainstorming. I might need a couple of extra lives to do all of things that I have dreamt up!
OH MY GOD.....GORGEOUS!! Im so jealous! thanks for sharing your beautiful space! very inspiring! x
lovely space....what a great place to create!
Perfect in every way!
All I can say is... so pretty!!
KASEY, BE SURE TO CHECK OUT MY BLOG LATER THIS WEEK. I'M GOING TO POST PHOTOS OF WHERE I CREATE. HAVE A GOOD ONE!!
Beautiful Spot Kasey, I agree with you, the light looks Amazing. I share my space with the family. Its our Loft but it is big and lots of light also. Creating is in the Eye of the Beholder right! Great Post too.. Have a wonderful week, your earrings are on their way. Jamie
What a charming, beautiful space. I can't wait to have a creative space of my own. For now, every room does double duty in our apartment. ;)
so very pretty I just found you from hopping around on the one world one heart event I was at 58cherries.
I'll be back love it I just started a blog and hope to have something near as lovely as yours any tips would be totally welcomed

I love this post. I totally relate. I create with my eyes and not my hands too! Well put!
It is beautiful! I really love that chair, or is it a loveseat? I will never show where I create - it isn't a pretty picture! On another note, I know a girl here in Portland whose studio was featured in the latest issue of that magazine. I haven't seen it yet and this reminds me I need to pick it up.
I love the croissant post. Good for you for working out. When your kids ask if there is a baby in your tummy, you should just smile because remember you lOOOOVE being prego...not me. I guess it's because you always look fabulous with a little one cooking.
It is yummy! and I know how it is to wake up in the middle O the night with ideas!
PS-I got the lovely trinket you sent today you crazy wonderful girl! LOVE it! Thank you!!!
Awesome space!
Thanks for sharing... cozy office!
Love your office/work/hangout space! Gorgeous! And you're right, it does have a beautiful light too!
What a beautiful blog and the room looks just fantastic! I wish I had that much light in my room :)
i love your office/sunroom. it is beautiful. i think that is the room that really caught my eye when i visited your house. i would be in it all the time!!
wow your sunroom / office/ shop is so so gorgeous, I'm in love with every singel thing in this room!
ps, your blog is so great, wish i found it earlier! :)
Oh wow!!! You are so blessed with this space!! You must feel so creative every time you're in it! I totally adore the antique clock on the floor and the sofa wow just perfect...this is my cup of tea!
Kasey! that is seriously wild! I haven't even read the post yet...I'm commenting after just reading the title. I do my posts in advance, and wrote mine early Monday then I didn't get online the rest of the day because I have a wicked cold. This is the first I've seen of your post! You and I must be TWINS! ;-) Great minds think alike!!
Okay, now I've read your post. And I'm so jealous! What a GORGEOUS office/studio. They ought to feature YOU in Where Women Create. Simply stunning! (I still think it is crazy that we posted so closely on the same topic. Swear I hadn't seen this post...really.)
I know I'm the queen of multiple comments...hope you don't mind if I link to your post...it just fits so beautifully with mine. Thanks!
I absolutely love this space! The little settee in the window is to die for. And doesn't having good light make all the difference in the world?
oh so pretty, very pretty - when you want to give up your cozy settee, please put me first on the list to call :)
Terri

Beautiful... just simply beautiful... I love the use of your own special room....and also your space where you create.
loving this space! wish I could visit it!
Hi! Wendy sent me! I love your space. Your space could easily be featured in a future "Where Women Create." Just beautiful.
Oh, you put me to shame. How gorgeous. Enjoy your room.
Have a good day.
Sandra
love, love that sofa!
What a charming place! I got my order and I am CRAZY about it! Love it and now I can see where you created it! :)
I hope I have a space as lovely someday!
I love your explanation of what kind of "creator" you are! I'm not a crafter either but I can so relate to waking up the night with an idea I can't wait to try.
We are on a tight budget right now but God keeps giving me ways of moving my own things around and repurposing them. It's almost more fun than shopping (almost....).
thanks for the inspiration. I am bookmarking you RIGHT NOW.
Your space is beautiful...looks like to me that you are VERY creative in so many ways...thank you for sharing.
Hugs...

Hi, Wendy sent me to this blog. She said to tell you that. I think you really are a visionary. I love your space.
Just learned about Where Women Create today & can't wait to hold my very first issue in my hands! Your place looks splendid! I can't wait to move into our next home - we're hunting for more space, light, peace & also lots of ROOM to roam! Well done! Cheers, Julie:
