Tammy's Sweet Heart Studio - Where Blogger's Create

Hello bloggers! I am so excited to be joining the party today and I am looking forward to seeing your creative spaces! Welcome to my little studio, where I create so many sweet, beautiful things (when I can find the time!).

The picture below is what the room looked like when I moved in to the house in 2004. The previous owners were using it as a bedroom, but I knew that I needed a special space to create, so eventually it became my craft room.

Have you ever had one of those days when you just wanted to pull your hair out? That's how I felt the day I took this picture. I wanted so badly for my studio to be ready for crafting and creating, but I had so much work to do on the room before it would be ready. Even the freshly painted door is off the hinges!

After a lot of hard work, my beautiful (and functional) studio is ready for creating! This is my favorite table to sit at. My sweet mom Ginger let me borrow this table and I love looking out the window at my little pond garden when I am crafting. I can see some of my roses out that window too. The shelf above is lined with pretty baskets waiting to be filled with crafting supplies.

I bought this cabinet for under $100 at an antique mall. It was in bad shape when I got her. I gave her a few good coats of white paint and added some sweet shabby rose fabric in the glass window. I have a lot of my crafting supplies stored in there.



This is actually a vanity that I took the mirror off of and am using it as a writing desk. It is the perfect place to write without distraction. I have another AMAZING writing desk in my utility room that will undergo a transformation and be moved into this room soon. I will take before and after pics and post them on my blog. You're gonna' love it!

One of my favorite things about decorating is piecing together sweet vignettes like this one on my writing desk. I like putting odd, random things together to display. My favorite thing on the tray is the "willow tree" angel with her hands in the air. She reminds me to celebrate my freedom and ability to create.

These are some wooden letters I got at a local craft store and covered with decorative paper and then went hog-wild with the embellishments. They are hanging on the west wall of the room. Look at the sweet pink butterfly on the "A". My favorite thing to do in my studio is . . .

I bought this file cabinet at Wal-Mart and it was black when I bought it. I gave it several coats of pink spray paint. Isn't it lovely? It could use some roses painted on it though, don't you think?

I bought a cheap and ugly cork board and painted the cork a light shade of pink. I put all of my ideas and inspirations on it for my upcoming projects. My mom had the great idea of putting all of her ribbon, buttons, and other embellishments in plastic storage containers and organizing them by color. Then when you need a pink button or ribbon it is easy to find!

This butterfly was a Christmas ornament and I glued an alligator clip on the back. Now I use them to hold back my curtains in my studio!

This is the infamous candle cupboard. It is my favorite piece of furniture in the house. I bought it at an antique store and it was a hideous olive green color. A few coats of white paint solved that problem! It has a mesh screen front and it holds my precious candle collection. That's why it's my favorite!

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my studio and some of my creations. I look forward to sharing more with you soon and I hope you have been inspired by something you saw!

I wish you a blessed weekend!

Much Love to You!

Love Tammy
