Craft Room

I have been so excited about sharing my craft room with you all for quite a while now! Keep in mind, this room is not finished, but here are some of the small, but sweet details of this room. This is my own little sanctuary where I can blog, create, paint, and most importantly CRAFT all day.

After my grandmother passed away in May, I threw myself into wanting to "finish" our house. It almost helped me cope with the loss to just stay busy and not have to think about it. I have since come to the realization that our house will probably never be "finished" in my mind. As I grow and expand my ever-changing palate in design, my tastes have evolved as well. I figure this process is just getting started, so it's time to s l o w down and take my time to just ENJOY the fun that is decorating.

This room used to be a walk in closet in one of our guest bedrooms. We took the builder-grade wire shelving down to create enough space to do a built-in shelf/desk area.

after my sweet husband installed this for me, we then caulked and added a decorative moulding.

What a pretty little mess :) the decorating process is not always pretty... 

After the desk was finished being caulked and painted.

Monograms, Monograms, everywhere.

 I plan on painting a chalkboard wall on the other side of this room and changing out the light fixture. Also not pictured is a storage system on other wall from Ikea to store all my misc. craft necessities. Hope you enjoyed!

Charleston Inspiration

Last month, Evan and I took a mini-vacay to Charleston. It was a much needed getaway for the two of us. I couldn't help but become inspired by all of the low country style that Charleston wears so well.

Here are a few pictures that I found inspirational and wanted to share with all of you.

I absolutely loved this window box. I plan to use it as inspiration for my window box next spring. It looks like it includes caladium, vinca, spike, and something similar to sweet potato vine. Always go with the filler, thriller, spiller method for a perfect container garden or window box.

loved this rusted corrugated wall art that we saw in Folly Beach

Those shell chandeliers and wooden beams though... love!

Colorful office buildings on King Street

square subway tile with natural gray grout and chalkboard art... speaking right to my heart.

Love the carrara marble, metal industrial table bases and bar stools with the pendant lighting.

Chevron wall art and artwork hung by magnetic clips

Garden + Gun headquarters... of course our favorite magazine is published in Charleston

open shelving, clear glass canisters

Eating outside at HUSK. I love big southern white houses and black shutters. A timeless look

.

Evan + I can not wait to go back! The dining, decor, and beaches were all PERFECT. Every single night we ate some of the most amazing food we've ever had. If you're in the market to go to Charleston make sure you check out these restaurants that we loved: HUSK, High Cotton, Caviar and Bananas, Taco Boy, Pearlz, and Amen Street Tavern just to name a few!

Until next time :)
