Sorry, You'll See Me Less Today

I'm going into that room of mine and going through it! As I'm accumulating more things for my Etsy shop, I'm also realizing that that translates into less wiggle room in my already crammed quarters. I need to take some serious action and figure out how I can make my space more productive and conducive to work so I can actually get stuff done!

My Dream Studio

I came up with the idea from this post by reading a post by Nora on Nora's Blog and thought of what a good idea it was - to describe what my ultimate creative space would be. I've often thought about it, but rarely share it with people.

I always dreamed that my studio would be in the attic of a house that was built 50 or 60 years ago with doorways (the kinds with no doors) that are arched. I don't know if I'd still keep it in the attic because attics usually are hard to heat and cool, but this was when I was into painting and drawing (still am). With my shift to graphic design, I'd probably move down into a better insulated part of the house...hehe.

Anyways, There'd be a fun old table that would be my desk. I'd have my laptop, a laser printer (still in my dreams) and some sketchbooks, pencils, pens and colored pencils, all neatly organized in jars. I'd have a separate table for scoring and cutting and folding cards which would have drawers underneath to house my paper and rulers and envelopes and labels and packaging supplies. There'd be a nice big window that all the natural light would come through and another little table which I would use to photograph all of my items for displaying on etsy.

Can you just imagine what you could do if you had a creative space all to yourself? I think I'd be much more productive.

What would your creative space look like? If you write a blog entry about it, come back to my blog and post the link to yours so we can see where everyone would like to work! :)
