why hello all! happy wednesday! oops! i mean thursday! my mind is telling me it's only wednesday due to the extended holiday weekend so we are going to pretend it is so and take the last peek at a "corner of my world"!
i wish it could continue as i have had such a great response to it but i'm afraid i have run out of interesting corners to share! that is unless you consider the closets and cupboards exciting! as projects are completed in our home...laundry room, office, downstairs bath...i will share those {W.I.P.} (better know in our home as "work in progress") with ya all!
in the meantime...please join me for the last official wednesday "tour" featuring my basement "make" room. i have shown this space in a previous post when it was near completion but thought i would highlight it again for those of you new to patinaWHITE and my show & tell.
my "make" room {below} is where i like to tinker away on creative ventures...it is off our basement gathering room and is painted in ball jar inspired blue-green. a custom work table designed by me then brought to life by my talented friend terry is the hub of the room providing a sound spot for everything from hammering away on jewelry to stamping signs for patinaWHITE.
it has always been a dream to have a spot for everything and have everything in it's place. i am still and will forever be working on grouping items + sorting a plethora of gathered goodies from across the years!
the metal boxes {below} are part of the ongoing process...
i'm a sucker for old sign maker kits & stopped counting how many i have accumulated...but my favorite to this day is the set shown {below}. a treasured gift from my dear friend, kami. she picked a winner here! i use it in nearly all my stamping projects!
give 'em the boot...in this case a perfect spot {below} for catching scissors + writing utensils! i collaged the thrift store metal tray in the background with some inspiring words...
i just loved the color plus idea of this adjustable paper mannequin {below} she currently serves no purpose other than sitting pretty.
this form {below} unlike miss cutie above is actually put to hard work. she is draped with jewels and chains waiting for the right project to come along. these "girls" are part of a large family of dress forms that i employ for various tasks!
the cupboard {below} couldn't have been one inch taller and fit into this space! it was quite the challenge to maneuver downstairs! one challenge that i observed rather than participate. even i know when to stay out of the way of men at work! especially ones hauling a crazy heavy old piece of "junk" for your's truly!
and just what is housed in those stacks of weathered cigar boxes? well, just have a little looksee below...
a garden of pins above and sea of sparkle below...i could go on & on...but we'll explore more another day!
the curtains on my closet {the interior being another W.I.P} were created from white burlap i washed to get a rumpled look! yes, you CAN wash burlap...however...be ready to do some serious cleaning of your dryer's lint trap! a quick makeshift "door" that is simply wonderful!
this time tested butcher wrap + stand has the most fabulous faded green striped paper. i admire it more than i use it but am working on getting there...sometimes it is hard for me to use vintage resources but it is nice to share!
and to end the {make room} journey is a piece of folk artsy whimsy. i picked this piece up years back and haven't really had a good spot to showcase. until my need for a doorstop called to me! so there you go...a door stopping display!
thank you over and over again for your nice comments + feedback on the tours! i am tickled to hear from each and every one of you! i appreciate you taking time to tag along and wish you a wonderful day!
