My home is small....
I need a space to create....
My Shabby is spilling into the garage...
but why not? nobody else is making it pretty...
~Before ~After
my teacup chandelier is finished...
this pretty castoff lamp with a wire pumpkin flipped upside down lampshade and a vintage linen draped over the top fits perfect in my little space...
The hubby seems ok with this transformation, he hung this window for me...
some shabby for my booths...but right now I like them here
Right now it is about 35 degrees in our garage, but I feel inspired when I think about this space.
There is actually alot of room out there.
I can't wait for things to warm up...I would like to make a family room area on the other side.
Have a beautiful and blessed day!
Hugs,
Oh Olivia my friend you are so very talented you even made your garage so very lovely!!!!

Olivia, this is gorgeous! That's the way to claim a space right there! Hugs. Tammy
ReplyDeleteOh Olivia Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteThat is such a GORGEOUS space you have created. And why not have the garage a little shabby? I love it.
That window you had DH hang is so perfect. I love that chandelier made of teacups. Olivia you have such an eye for decorating. Love, love, love it all. The little desk looks SO much prettier in white doesn't it?
Love the vintage linen draped over the lamp and that bowl on the table that has the little white bag of candles and the prisms and doll face. Oh sweetie it is so perfect. Almost to pretty for the garage.
Thank you for sharing sweetie. I have so enjoyed my visit today at Olivia's Romantic Home. Just gorgeous.
May God richly bless your family and home this beautiful CHRISTmas season. Many hugs and SO much love, Sherry
I just love your sweet, shabby creative corner.

HAPPY SUNDAY OLIVIA,
ReplyDeleteI THINK YOU ARE GOING TO NEED THAT WHOLE GARAGE FOR YOUR STUDIO...LOL
IT IS JUST BEAUTIFUL....WHAT A CHARMING PLACE TO CREATE. YOU HAVE DONE A LOVELY JOB.....AND BLESS YOUR HUSBAND FOR LETTING YOU HAVE EVEN A PART OF THE GARAGE....MOST HUSBANDS WON'T LET YOU IN THEIR GARAGE.
I LOVE THAT TEACUP CHANDIE....DOES THE LIGHT BULB COME UP THROUGH THE CUP....I COULDN'T TELL.
HUGS
SIMPLY DEBBIE
You go, girlfriend, because that's adorable, sugar. We have a small home also but I've created niches for certain things. But we're also empty nesters so that makes a difference. I absolutely love what you've done with your home! Your creativity went a very long way and hubby's help was the cherry on that cake, chick! Darling. Ooooh, get a little space heater. Hubby has one in his niche in our 3rd car garage and it works well and it's 35° here in Idaho today with snow coming down.

ReplyDeleteOhhhhhh, I am so excited for you!! I would love to have shabby place to create--yours looks wonderful!!!! I am trying to create a little space for me in my bedroom, but it does not look anywhere near as beautiful as yours. Keep us posted and Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteJeanette
Olivia your shabby studio is awesome!! Everyone needs a space to create. That teacup chandelier is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteBefore my husband decided to sell our house I was trying to talk him to putting air conditioning in the garage so I could use it as my studio!!
Now I will have a room all for myself! I am so blessed.
That's so lovely. You'll be out there with a space heater and fingerless gloves before you know it I'll bet!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Judy

So gorgeous! !!!!
ReplyDelete!!!!
You are giving me ideas ;)
Hi Olivia :) It is hard to believe that it's a part of the garage! You've done a beautiful job in creating a lovely and oh-so-shabbylicious place to create in :)
ReplyDeleteWishing you and your family and wonderful and joyous Christmas, and a Happy New Year my friend :)
Warmest hugs, Brenda
I say a space heater and you will be in business. Wouldn't it be great if we had some huge area. We don't have basements here in Orlando, but If we did it would be all work room for me. I think it is lovely, I'd forget the family room and make it all yours!
ReplyDeleteCarol
Oh snap!! I LOVE this space! This gets my inspiration going - expanding out to the garage. Thanks for sharing!
