My Space

It’s amazing what a little color can do to a room. A bright, bold red will create an entirely different mood than a relaxing, cool blue will. And when you think about the art you add to the walls once the paint is up, you have even more power to control the feel of a room—and the way you feel when you’re in it.

My home office, for example, is a medium color — it’s inspiring because it’s not white, but it has a professional feel that helps me buckle down and get projects done and refreshing too. A crafting or creative space, on the other hand, needs to be bright and inspiring. For me, it’s all about the energy of the space. It also needs to be a place filled with items that I love and something that brings a piece of my own personality to the design. It functions both as a place devoted to scrapbooking and running my business. Plus I can use it to pay bills or whatever else official I need to do.

I am looking for creations and inspirations to lighten my space, which I am still in the process of doing. I just moved in this house in January, so I am still personalizing. For the first time in along time, it is a space that is all my own. And I plan to make the most of it. Any ideas you have on storage, decorating, or anything else - please share them. I would love to hear...
