A few years ago
I was trying to decide how to spiff- up this storage unit that we had bought from Lowe's .... when.....
Lo and Behold.... this picture was in
one of my magazines! Fifi O'Neil has the greatest eye for making simple things glamorous!
Love her style!
Black and cream toile is a favorite of mine [it can be found in almost every room of our cottage] and it goes beautifully with another favorite.
Red...I Adore Red
Can you tell what room this is? There is a little hint here and there.
Loads of things can be hidden behind the fabric.
Can you guess that this is my sewing/jewelry crafting/soap making/ studio! I am so blessed to have a room dedicated to all my junk, I mean, supplies!
My trusty old Kenmore. The Bulletin board hanging above the sewing machine is the one I made in a previous post. You can go here to make your own.
My office chair can slide around from one task to another. I use the large desk as a cutting board/ work area .
This desk is hardly ever seen. It is covered with fabric or beads most of the time.
The armoire stores scrapbook and embroidery supplies.
Fabric and buttons are stored in the unit across from my desk.
Did I ever tell you that I love red?

Great job on organizing. I need to start tackling this myself. Never heard of Fifi O'Neil before. Thanks for sharing. I hope you will share this at my Sunday's Best Link Party.
Audrey I like your style! I met Fifi last spring and she was so sweet and gracious (and classy!) Your crafting/sewing room is very special. I could sit back and start a project there myself! Thanks for sharing!

p.s. Hopefully my Club G.W. party will be up by Monday night!
I would hate for you to see my studio! Thanks for the inspiration.

Willa, You know it doesn't stay this way. It was so nice to see my work table that I decided to take pictures! Audrey
Kathleen, I would love to meet Fifi! What an honor. It is good to know she is just as nice in person as she appears.Audrey
Hi
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment and following me. So funny that it's the same fabric you are writing about and that I used on my basket. Love this fabric. I'm your newest follower. Thanks
Linda, the toile on your basket caught my attention immediately!
Everything looks fabulous, Audrey..your unit looks gorgeous. Love Toile! I am following you now and look forward to return visits. I hope you will join me as well. Hugs, Gayle. I am at:

I love toile, too!
This looks like the perfect blogging spot!

ahhh...i would love a space like this to call my own. So cute. Thanks so much for sharing with my newbie party.
something about Toile just screams Sophisticated!!! Caught you over at the Newbie party...hi!
Like you, I am blessed to have a room of my own. I'm studying your creative space to determine how to make my tiny room more efficient and yet maintain the pretty. I really need to keep my sewing machine out so I will use it more. So I'm using your pretty space for inspiration and now off to pondering.
Thanks for being my 500th follower! I'm following you now too.
Love your sewing/craft room and the toile shelf is not only practical but beautiful. I think we may even have the same sewing machine. Looking forward to reading more of your blog.
Hi there, your sewing/craft room looks fabulous. I'm visiting and now following you from Debbie's Newbie Party. Hope to visit more often. It would be lovely if you came to visit this Newbie also. Hugs, Chris
Your room looks like a lovely place to be creative! Lucky you! Love the toile too. God bless x

Hi Audrey, thought I'd come check out your area of the crafting/blogging world. This is a great craft room! I'm so jealous, and I can't wait for us to move into a house where I can have a craft room. You've got a new follower in me!
-Melissa, Walking in Faith
Just hopped over from Debbiedoo's blog. I love your craft room! You're right the black & cream toile looks great! Love it so much I bought a similar fabric before I had a working sewing machine to make curtains for my craft room! Love your pops of red too!
Thanks for sharing
I want a cottage to do pretty things to too!
Thanks for visiting and for your comment. Following back!
I'm so jealouse you have a sewing/craft/junk room. Awesome! It's so cute and organized too.
Black and white is always in style and wow, your own workspace! Mine would be cluttered with kids' junk in two seconds. andrea@townandprairie
Looks fabulous! Thanks for sharing it at Weekend Craft Soiree! :)
Looks all pretty and cozy! I love it.
