Eclectic Living.. Workspaces

For me, there is nothing more inspiring than seeing an amazing workspace, a real creative environment alive and buzzing with idea, clutter and a even a little chaos.  I'm often spellbound by the way different people set up their studio spaces, creating little nooks for all their precious bits and pieces, supplies and collections.  It's almost as if their journals and sketchbook pages come to life and leap off the pages and onto the walls.  Here are a few of my favourite workspaces..



I just love everything about Selina Lake's gorgeous space.  The bright colours, organised stashes of fabric, paper and tape and quirky touches all add to the warm and inviting feel.

The beautiful white walls and floors in  Tiina Laakkonen's space are the perfect canvas for her striking rug and beautiful collection of framed ephemera.  I'm also a huge fan of leaning frames and canvases against the wall to add a creative, lived in touch.

Asher Israelow and Jamie Goldenberg have made clever use of this lovely old writing desk, mounting it to the wall and surrounding it with light open bookshelves, filled with their collection of books and vintage cameras.

This room is so delighful! A wonderful use of storage, both above and below the desk and boxes and racks used for smaller items.  The pops of colour are so much fun too and that great orange desk light would be perfect for working under at night.

And how could I resist including the workspace of fabulous Emily Chalmers (even though I'm almost positive I've posted this image before at some point).  Emily's use of textiles is just wonderful, the large floor rug and beautifully draped scarf curtain, soften the large space and dark wood and add Emily's playful sense of personal style.  

What do you love in a workspace? What does your looks like? I'd love to hear about it! 

Much Love
