Oh to have a memory LOL)and love your corner. We moved into a new to us house last year and for the first time instead of the 3rd bedroom being the office, it is my pink room. <br /><br />Painted a pale lavender-y pink to discourage takeovers by my son & husband, it is my space. I have my stash of Home Companion & Country Living (how I miss them, the new quarterly Country Home isn't the same) as well as my vintage Better Homes & Gardens Decorating Books, and yarn, and crafting supplies, and vintage linens, and fabric, and fabric, and fabric... <br /><br />Unfortunately, it HAS become a catch-all for too much misplaced stuff, so I'm becoming inspired by beautiful blogs such as yours to clear the things I don't love & make it into my favorite spot again. Thanks for the inspiration!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16865136480042088921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-51150914073014722512011-02-02T08:53:14.638-05:002011-02-02T08:53:14.638-05:00Oh Jen, I love your space and inspiration pics for...Oh Jen, I love your space and inspiration pics for the new home.

She said she loves walking in "my room" because it is so relaxing and inviting and cozy. That is just the "look" I was going for. :) And, your house wish list pictures are EXACTLY what I would choose. I hope that you find everything your heart desires. :)Shannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09818921152766117132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-19130557855778304342011-01-28T22:42:52.917-05:002011-01-28T22:42:52.917-05:00I would love my own little space, yours looks so c...I would love my own little space, yours looks so charming.

I am so envious of your knitting skills!!<br />I have a large cupboard where all my magazines, and there is quite the stash of them and decorating books are. I have a craft/art walk- in closet, and a closet where I keep all my barkcloth hung so I can just touch it and get inspired. Kids growing up and moving creates lots of empty closets and dressers. It didn't take me long to claim those areas!I do lots of altered art and it requires me pawing through many things for just the right things. I had a table and work area set up in a guest room but, I seem to drag every project to the kitchen table or my "nest" where I sit.<br />Took the table out and accepted my preference. Still I am torn because I cannot stand a mess, so I have to put it all away even if it isn't done, just to drag it all out again later!

Lovely feel to it in there - I have a couple of spots in the house here - my loom area - and my 'nest' as I call it - the comfy chair in the corner, surrounded by my yarn and books - and then the office/sewing room.
