grand tour of the studio

To see how this whole adventure began in April, look here.
To see a wee bit of before and mid stream, look here.

And here's how it looks today...

To read about what's on the shelves, look here.

These are the cupboards that hide all of...

...this!

Sewing, quilting, knitting and needlework books.

(To the left, a door into the rest of the house, 

to the right, a door to the outside.)

I'm thinking of putting up a bulletin board over my desk, 

to post scraps of inspiration...words and pictures and such.
The chair is from my Great Uncle Quinn's log cabin.

My Meyer lemon tree (right) is sporting a few small, green lemons.

Here's the fabulous storage/cutting island.

Plenty of room to spread out!

No matter what's going on in the rest of the house,

this space is filled with calm and peace and possibilities.
The lovely linens are from my cousin in Sweden.
The turquoise stool is from my GramMuriel's kitchen. 

Here's a picture taken from the balcony.

Our beat up old denim sofa wouldn't fit where it was headed, 

so it's staying put in this room.

I'm actually delighted, because it has become a favorite place for 

 Henry cat to join me in the morning sunshine. 

It's also a great place to have tea with friends,

to read and write and dream.
