Where Bloggers Create 2012

Welcome my friends, to the 2012 Where Bloggers Create blog party!! I know we are all going to have a wonderful time visiting all the blogs and soaking up more inspiration again this year! I decided to post a little early since so many of you have already started trying to get a sneak peek!! LOL!!!!

My space has changed a little since last year but the basic layout is the same since it is a small room and I don't have many choices for layout. The major change is that I finally painted all the black furniture white and creme! This change was caused by visiting all those gorgeous white studio's over the past several years and looking longingly upon them!!!!

I finally decided I needed to do what made me happy so white it became!!! If you would like to see what the room looked like before, you can click here.

I've also filled the room with a lot more vintage goodies since last year.
I have several pairs of these little beauties and I can't bring myself to alter them! They are too cute just as they are! (I do think I will turn one of the newer pairs into a pin cushion like I've sen all over the place.)
I got this idea from somewhere on line, although I'm not sure where. So whoever you are... You inspired me! Thank you!!!

As you can see my vintage scale collection is all over the house. I also have one of my favorite pieces of all time here in my studio. My architectural salvage angel. Isn't she a beauty??
I have the paper snowflakes I make at Christmas time hanging in the window, only here in my studio they are called "stars". LOL.

Every piece of furniture got painted white and distressed. I love how the room just has a soothing quality to it now.  Sometimes I come in here just to sit and watch tv when hubby wants to watch something lame on television. :)

The glass front cabinet was really a piece of junk we found at a garage sale for $5.00. I gave it a little TLC and now it holds all my jewelry making baubles, soldering equipment and mosaic glass pieces.
The  multi-drawered pieces came from JoAnne. You just put them together and finish them however you wish.

Ever since my friend Charlene gave me the idea of using cut glass to hold glitter, I've been collecting salt and pepper shakers whenever I find them. Now I have a nice collection and they hold all sorts of sparkling powders and glitters.



Last year this was full of books and magazines, but really wasn't being utilized well. Those went in the closet and I filled it with all my favorite fabrics so they are right at my fingertips when I need them.
This cubby unit was also filled with papers and ephemera, but I've been using all the lace and trims a lot more, so I moved out the paper and brought in the ribbons, lace and doilies.
I bought this doll along with 3 others on Ebay, planning on altering them. Well.... I haven't got around to that (and so many other fun projects that I want to do) but she was my favorite and I think I'll leave her alone. She looks happy where she is with a crown upon her head.

Does any one else love the sound of buttons going into in glass jars???
This is my collection of altered bottles. I went crazy and made several in a row, and then was done, and ready to move on to something else. Come on girls... I know you do that too!!!!!
The fabric door panel is where I moved all my paper ephemera and doo-dads. I like being abl to see what I have rather than keeping it boxed up. I usually have an out of site out of mind mentality, so it helps in the creative process if I can see what I have to work with around me.
I have an affinity for empty frames, so I decided to use some of them to create this piece last year.
It hold my favorite piece of advice for all time... "follow your bliss"
The chair is an office chair from Ikea. I just took two king sized matlesse' pillow cases and slipped one over the chair back and tucked the other onto the seat. I stays in place like it was made for the chair.
 I picked up this printers drawer at one of the Sweet Salvage sales and it holds bits and pieces of things I'm working on or (to be honest) whatever I don't feel like putting away at the time. :) The books are my two altered books I've made so far. The one in the back is my own creations and the one in the front was from Lisa McIlvains class at Paper Cowgirls this year. I have plans of making a few more before I (again) move on to something else.

And finally, my office where I actually spend the most time creating. No, it's not pretty jewelry or altered books, or fabulous mixed media art, but it is something I love to do. I get to create beautiful blog designs for all of you and I am grateful for that everyday!!!!

I hope you enjoyed the tour of my studio!! I can't wait to get started visiting all of you. If you haven't already done so, please turn off your word verification (if you use it) for a few weeks during the party to make it easier for everyone to leave a comment on your post. After all, we all like comments don't we??? (Just go to "Settings" > "Comments" and then "NO' for word verification.

Thank you all for Visiting!! Have a fabulous time!!!

Oh I've been waiting for you to post your studio space! I love all of your fabrics and ribbons and jars of buttons...and that was a genius way to slip cover your chair....I never would have thought of that.

Thanks for adding my blog to your list. I am going to take all the time it takes to visit everyone...fun!

Hi, so glad to see your work environment. It's so "feminine" compared to my muddy and dusty surroundings where clay turns into pottery. I enjoyed it, and will soon be looking at all the other's studios. This is a fabulous idea! Congrats, and thanks for all the work to pull it together.

Karen,
I love your space and love the white and cream. It is more soothing, although your studio was so pretty last year. I am still working on my studio, maybe next year I can join in. I am looking foward to being inspired by the creative spaces by all the talented folks out there. This is a great idea!

Anonymous said...

Karen, your studio is as gorgeous as ever. Good for you for doing what makes you happy...both black and white themes are gorgeous. Love all the details, and I started to keep my glitter in similar shakers. Had my daughter paint them. You're such an inspiration and I could not wait to get started. ;)
Hope you stop by and meet Love. Her dressing room tour is now open.
Thank you for hosting and you know I'll be back several times.
MUAH!

Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions said...

Beautiful, Karen! I'm glad you went with what you love with those furniture color. I love that lampshade in the first picture. I have a stray lamp with a shade that needs to be done that I plopped in my room. I need electric on that side, so I'm not in any hurry. Love how you use those old salt and pepper shakers. They are so pretty yet functional. I'm sure I'll get lots of ideas again this year from everyone else's creative spaces. Thanks so much for hosting!

Sissie's Shabby Cottage said...

Hi Karen,
I love everything about your beautiful creative space and office.
You have added so many pretty details and I love the white transformation.
I'm going to just enjoy all the party goers this year. Our home is for sale so I have kinda dismantled my craft/sewing area.

I shall live vicariously through yours and everyone elses.

Your studio is what I dream of! It's gorgeous and so feminine. You inspire me to create every day and, just like yourself, I get caught up in a craft and then make several before moving on to my next creation. Just finished making a few altered bottles myself and love them so much I don't want to give them away as intended birthday gifts. Keep up the great work and thanks for all you do. I'm so glad we are cyber friends. Hugs to you <3

White Lace and Promises said...

love your space. found out you from Rebecca at A Gathering Place. I do like the way you changed from black to white. White is not the absence of color-to me it IS color! Love what youve done. wish i had a space. maybe i cand change a closet into something:)

Faye said...

Your studio looks amazing! Thank you so much for this awesome party! Such a great idea.

Romeo said...

Loved your studio last year, even if the dogs chased me going in. But this year I REALLY love it with all the white. My errant strand of fur won't show up as easily! Which means that purrhaps you'll let me visit more! Yes, yes a good choice indeed! And piles of fabric and lace, another very good choice. "She" also had changed her book/magazine location for the same reason as you, and couldn't be happier. I'm okay with it really - gives me a variety of napping materials, as some days I'm in the mood for a full page spread to lay my whiskered head on and other days, I purrfer the soft alure of old hemp or linen fabrics. Well it's all very lovely indeed, but then I wouldn't have expected anything less from you of great creative powers :) Thanks for hosting yet another wonderful year of Where Bloggers Create! We appreciate you!

Purrs and hugs,

Romeo and "her"

HI Karen, I"m not sure how to join this party but I would just to be a part of it!
http://ribbonwoodcottage.blogspot.com/2012/07/where-bloggers-create.html
Also I have to say I love the changes you have made in your space from last year. It is lovely with the whites and creams. I'm getting ready to pain my daughter's bathroom and she is leaving to get married. I told her it is time for a change! When I saw your room and the colors, and how beautiful it is I decided this is the color scheme I want to go with. Just lovely!
Have a blessed week.

Pic's are so much better, Again thank you sweetie and now I'm going to hint the couch in my new creative space:) Hugs and love you, Marilou

Let the swooning begin! I read your words and I felt like they were coming out of me. I want to paint everything now...if only time allowed. You have inspired me to do so. Merci beaucoup!

I don't know where to begin, as you space is so wonderful, I keep scrolling up and then down again.

Simply beautiful, Karen. The layered frames and shabby cubbies are my favorites. Big sigh..love them.

Hi Karen, thanks for hosting this wonderful party again. My creative space is the loveseat in our tv room where I blog from my laptop using an Ikea lap pad and surround myself with baskets of yarn and other supplies. :) It's so nice to visit and see the lovely spaces where others create.

Victoria said...

What a beautiful space you've created, Karen! I'm going to borrow your idea of using pillowcases as a cover for an office chair, if you don't mind. I can't sew, so pillowcases should be just the perfect thing.

Thank you so much for hosting this party...now I'm off to visit other creative bloggers!

Oh Karen, what a beautiful space you have. Your photos are lovely and it all looks so warm and inviting. I really enjoyed browsing around.

Thanks for hosting this tour - it's my first time participating and I know it will take me several weeks or months to visit everyone, but I will.

This N That said...

I just love your studio..What a fun place to visit...I've been wanting to paint some furniture white and then antique or "distress" it..I just haven't had the guts to paint natural wood and I think the distressing takes a certain talent..??Any suggestions??? Like you, every post I see seems to have white furnishings..Love the look..The pillow cases are a great idea..one that I can probably pull off...Thanks again for my blog makeover..Love it...

Anne said...

You have a lovely creative craft room. I can't decide whether I want to move into yours or Karla's (Karlas Cottage).

Sandy said...

Hi Karen, thanks for the e's and yes
I do understand.. this is for space that
we use to create, not a space that we
created.. where was my brain?
I have gone through dozens of posts
and am having Creative Space Envy.. have to get me ready for next year!
Love your post and your beautiful space.
Sandy

Lori said...

I've been waiting a YEAR to see what you've done to your room. All I can say is...WOW! Love the cubby of laces and the frame--"follow your bliss"--I'm going to have to borrow this idea. Seeing your room has really inspired me. Oh, and I'm going to cover my ugly black desk chair with King sized pillow cases. Thanks for the inspiration, Karen!

fairyrocks said...

The things you do....such style.
It is magical in the whites. I am in serious awe. Your studio is beyond beautiful, like a breath of fresh air and home all rolled into one. Thanks so much for hosting this huge party of like minded people. Off to peruse the goodness.

Sherry said...

I thought I left a comment when I first read your post. I may have but I did want to tell you that I think your studio is fabulous. I am trying to paint all of my furniture white but have not done so, maybe by next year. Thank you for your hard work and I am so looking forward to visiting all of the studios listed.

Jan Hermann said...

Hi Karen...

What a lovely post - it's so good to see where you actually CREATE! What a great place to work.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to participate today. Since contracting Bell's Palsy, my energy level has been practically non-existent...and when I do have some energy, so many other things call, rather than working on organizing and staging my office/creative space for a post. Perhaps next year, I can participate!

Good luck.

Jan ♥

Well, I'm obviously doing something wrong. I can't get your blog off Reader, so I'm not being allowed to view your wonderful party links or join. I'm so bummed. At least I can view your wonderful space. It's so gorgeous, Karen.

Hi Karen. I love the remodel. You did a beautiful job. I love white too and hope to have more of it someday. You have such a wonderful touch putting it all together. You are so gifted. I just finished adding all my photos. Sure was a motivated to get it all cleaned up. Thanks once again for having this party. xoxo joanna

Lynn said...

Lovely! I love all the laces and doilies but my fave idea is your glitter shakers!

Kathleen Jennette said...

What a beautiful space! I didn't realize how disorganized I am until I saw your wonderful room!

Shell said...

Your creative space is beautifully dreamy. Sigh...one day when I have a room of my own, I want a space just like yours with an added small stage for me to work on my acting.

Marrianna said...

Geez, do you actually read all the comments? So far, I'm #124. I'm impressed. What I like so much about your Where Bloggers Create is that I've always wanted to see the creative spaces of other artists. I need ideas for my two workrooms. I see a trip to Sweet Salvage and IKEA in my future.

It's 7:30pm on Saturday, 7-14-12, and it's raining outside, very cool, and my little shih tzu doesn't like it. The sounds make her very uncomfortable. Me? I'm loving all the moisture here in Northern Arizona.

See you soon at Art Unraveled.

Maureen Hayes said...

This is my first visit to your blog, and what a post to start with. Since I am a shabby chic/romantic/vintage girl myself, your studio sings to my heart!!

Thanks so much for sharing, not I can dream about a space like this for me!

Anonymous said...

Hi! your space is amazing. I love all the neutral colors, the laces the buttons the...... just everything. Thank you for having this delightful blog party. I have been enjoying visiting my visits to everyone's space. It seems like I have been visiting all evening and I have barely seen a handful, I get caught up in viewing all the past posts :) everyone is so amazingly talented. I was about to go to bed when I realized that though I had visited your space I had not said hello. Hello! lol but now I really must say good night. Will be back to visit tomorrow and hop on to some more wonderful spaces.

Ellie said...

LOVE ~ LOVE ~ LOVE ~ LOVE
your white studio, and how each nook and cranny is filled with charm and the unexpected.

I have looked forward to your party since last August. I visit the creative spaces of your participants over and over throughout the year, "sitting," drooling,and dreaming for a spell in their magical ateliers.

Karen, thank you more than you know for throwing "Where Women Create" party each year. It is a major summer celebration on my calendar.

And thanks to all of you ladies (and gents) who so graciously share a part of your lives.

Karen, what a blessing you are to us - whether we blog or just enjoying reading blogs of others'.

EnchantedBella said...

Hi Karen, I am so excited! I would love to be added to the party list. Everyone has such beautiful creative spaces. Not sure mine will measure up but I want to show it off anyways. Thank you and your space is just wonderful. Lots of inspiring ideas.

But all the Blogs are such an inspiration

Dorthe said...

Dear Karen, OH what can I say but : stunning!
Your studio is a marvelous place of beauty and creativity. I love every tiny piece you have collected ,and every gorgeous piece you have created. Love your old weights wearing lace and plant-love your dolls, and every corner is so cosy, and wonderful, like the one where you have your computer- so beautiful.
Thankyou for inviting and showing. I have not had time to "dress" my own studio for this occation this year. Maybe next yearI will happily take part in your wonderful happening.
XO,Dorthe

Sylvia/LittleTreasures said...

Thanks so much for sharing all the beautiful photos. Love your office and the design area is totally a feminine delight. I've convinced myself of the painting thing, but so much humidity here now.
Visiting today was like an awesome little tour in dreamland..you've displayed things in great fashion. Thanks for the fun.

Elizabeth Johnson said...

I love the color changes. You are right. It is soothing. And I am like you. If I can't see it, I forget to use it. Your studio is wonderful. Thank you for this event.

Hey There!
Hope your weekend is going well. Well, I found your blog though Plumrose Lane. All I can say is WOW. First of all I thought I was in heaven, your house is beautiful. I am in the process of moving to our home soon and now am collecting items for the look that you have. I also started my own blog about our life just married, and what it turned into was a contact for my family,of day to day things that are happening. I am trying so hard to get a look that your blog has. I also have been an artist one way of another all my life. Most of my kids are grown, but I will take any direction you have to put me on the right track.
Sincerly

Pat said...

Karen, Sure enjoyed seeing your studio and office. I love that you made it all white...I know you love the 'mood' it puts you in while you are in there. Very conducive to creativity, don't you agree? I LOVE all the vintage stuff...I guess that's something we all have in common. Makes me want to visit the flea market...NOW! I also love that it's so organized...loved the hooks with your laces pieces hanging from it in such good order.
Baby shoes, lacey things, and those buttons...yes, I too, love the sound of buttons falling into glass jars...or bowls. LOVED your pretty office...mine is much more utilitarian..you've given me 'ideas!' We share the same kind of computer (thanks to my son!) Such a treat to visit your sanctuary. ENJOY many hours there, dear friend, and thanks for sharing!! And, Oh, I should mention..I always love visiting your blog!! pat

Unknown said...

finally got my studio pics up, but they are a little embarrassing compared to the amazing studios linked up here! Yours especially. WOW! http://jessicasporn.blogspot.com/2012/07/why-crawl-through-life-when-you-have.html

A Fanciful Life said...

Hello Karen! How fabulous it is to have this blog party again this year. I'm loving your new vintage finds (love the scale, baby shoes and all the lace everywhere). Your room reminds me of a fun antique furnishing store - so many great things to take in. It was so great to meet and chat with you last September - I'm sad that they aren't having that event any longer. It was one of the best events I've attended. Well, I must be off to visit more blogs in this party now - have a wonderful day and thanks again for organizing and hosting. Until the 5th annual Where Bloggers Create... ;-)

Warmly,
Sharon

Hello there. Just wanted to say I love your creative space. I am your newest follower! Enjoy your Sunday!

Anonymous said...

Karen! Your office.studio is stunning! I have been captivated by all the shabby whites, too - but everything I have is in natural wood tones! It seems to do the library and book thing better - which is the foundation of my work. Though, I've a grand white 1930's two level stove and oven on legs that belonged to my grandmother, re-purposed to hold my scraping and art supplies. I think I may give myself another year to really pull my space into gear before I think about participating in the "share your space" party. Loving all the inspiring artists!!

Joy!

Thank you for your encouraging comment on my blog! I love the new cream and white colour scheme. (But the black and white was also elegant) Thanks for organising this wonderful inspiration tour!

Lynette Killam said...

Oohh...I love your sweet and girly space, Karen! I dream of the simplicity of monochrome but colours and patterns reach out and grab me even when I try to resist...LOL. I was absolutely charmed by your frame project, and your computer space. What a joy it must be to spend time there.

This was so much fun...thank you for stopping by my place, and for hosting this grand event...:)

Faded Charm said...

Your space is so inviting Karen..love it!! I want to thank you for holding this party because of you...I finally got my space all painted and reorganized and it feels so good. I guess I work better under pressure because I did all this in just a few days( and nights spent up way too late painting a few ofthe pieces) since we were going to be gone on vacation the week before the party and I knew I just couldn't miss it this year:-)

Thanks again for being such a gracious hostess each year!

Marrianna said...

Thanks, Karen, for getting back to me. I love the look of the blog. I'm going to participate in Vicki's GROW YOUR BLOG party in January and just sent her an email.

I plan to PhotoShop some new photos tomorrow and will post them to my blog. And I will make an announcement on the Typepad blog.

I haven't really looked at everything on the blog but I'm hoping you put your button on there already. I don't want to get into that challenge yet. If not, I'll get to it sooner than planned.

I will definitely promote you to my Art Unraveled Yahoo Group. In fact, I sent an email about Sweet Salvage and about you today. It should come out tomorrow and maybe you'll get some new clients.

Take care, Marrianna

I also wanted to thank you for the free tips for blogging. I have already incorporated a couple of them, like centering my heading.

Thank you for visiting my room and for your kind comments.

Diane said...

Your studio is so beautiful and beautiful. I'm sure I will be coming back to visit again and again.

I missed the boat this year and didn't get to join (I did two years ago) Hopefully I will be in that list next year. Diane

Diane said...

Lame show on TV! I burst out laughing. I think a lot of us can relate to that!

LiliKrist said...

Why so many people paint their studio with white color? White is easily to get dirty right...that's why I use another color, mixed yellow and green =)
BTW...thank you Karen for hosting a challenging blog party like this one. This is my first time to join.
