my dream studio

So, we are on our way to purchasing our first home! I'm so excited! The bank approved our offer in only like 2 weeks, which is unheard of for a short sale. But, we are so excited and look forward to decorating the way we want and painting the colors we want!

I'm so sick of white walls. I can't wait to paint my kitchen green and have a real studio! Yeah!

My favorite part about this house is that it's move-in ready. We wouldn't have to do a thing to it if we didn't want to, but I think we want to tile the bathroom, and tear out the carpet in "the studio" bedroom. There are original hardwood floors under there.

Here are a few pictures of inspiration for my studio. I have seriously been collecting inspirational pictures for the past two years! I can't wait to actually have a place to do all of my crafts and work. The past year and a half I've been working off of our kitchen table and hardly ever do we eat off of it because I have so much stuff on it. Yeah!!! I think my husband, Chris, is getting sick of eating at the coffee table with our 18 month old daughter begging for his food.

Here is some link love for all of my inspiration:
LOVE LOVE LOVE all of the rugs at funky rugs!

Here are a few more places to find contemporary rugs.
• erugs.co.uk
• contemporaryrugs.com

Places to find the fabric that I love!
• purlsoho.com
• tonicliving
• imaginefabric.com
• daisyjanie.com

And inspiration for everything else can be found at Urban Outfitters or Anthropologie . Love, love, love these stores!!! Too bad most of the stuff at Anthropologie is far out of my price range... but I can window shop can't I?

Most of the storage stuff comes from a website called thisisnotikea.com . It is a little vintage shop in Los Angeles. If I lived closer, I would definitely be shopping there!
