Where "Let's Add Sprinkles" Creates

I tried having an office. I really did.
But it was up in the very back corner of the house. 
I didn't want to be stuck in the back corner of the house. 
I want to be where the action is. 
So
I have several places where I create for 
"Let's Add Sprinkles".

In the spring and summer I like to create in the garden room.

I pull up my little ottoman and my little C table (and maybe a snack) and enjoy my favorite room. 


If I am working on a big project, I create at the wonderful table my dad made.


I haven't babied this table. 
I've scrapbooked, painted and set up my sewing machine in here. 
The table gets better and better with age and patina.

 


I create in the kitchen. 
The island is a perfect height for working on something if I need to stand.


The lighting is great over the island, so this is my go-to spot especially in the evening. 


I can morph my stuff over to table if I need to.

I think that my favorite space to work throughout the year is the living room. I sit on the couch and I might watch some T.V. while I am working. I really love true crime shows like Snapped and 48 Hours. Fictional crime shows scare me but not these for some reason. 


My foot stool is so light I grab it and take it to the room where I am currently working. 


We got this stool at Pier One Imports. 
It is sold to go with their papasan chair but we love it.  I went back and got another one for Bill for his office. It's light weight so I can bring it from room to room. It ends up being a footrest, lunch tray or desk. 

   


My favorite DIY project is the main view for me and I am in the middle of activity when the kids are in and out.





It is not usually this neat when I am writing, studying or getting inspired.



It looks a little chaotic when I am burning the midnight oil.
Thanks for stopping in,
Katie

  1. Everything in your home looks so pretty. You know, I do have an office but still tend to end up in the kitchen or family room. Nobody wants to be alone.

  2. I love your garden room! But then again, all of your rooms are so pretty. That chandelier in the kitchen is great!

  3. Looks like you have a lot of choices of where to blog from! I enjoyed getting to see a small tour of your pretty home! Your kitchen is very pretty with all the white cabinets and crystal drop chandelier. I usually blog in my kitchen at the desktop computer. But, I love to relax in the family room with the tv on and the laptop in front of me. That's my favorite combo!

  4. Katie, so happy to meet and pleased to have a new follower. I LOVE the table your Dad made, its splendid!! You have plenty of places to create and I usually use the dining room table. I have a large room downstairs but it needs some updating--I need a bright space to feel inspired. I'm following you back.

  6. You have beautiful places to create!
    I had thought about doing a similar post...because I'm all over the place when I create too...but all my photos look chaotic...I'd have clean up then!

    love your family room and that sun room.
    Have fun creating. --thanks for the tour, Pat
