Southern Ooaks New Home

I thought today I would share some photos of my whimsical world's new home. So much light coming in...so much inspiration to be had........that is if I can stop staring out the windows long enough to hear my muse's whisperings. ^_^

We are living in an old cottage style home. One with so much charm and character. If only the walls could talk, eh? My work place is divided up into different little areas. My main working bench and computer are in the area with three big picture windows looking out at some wonderful old oak trees....how fitting...I live surrounded by true Southern Oaks. There are large Camella bushes which have actually turned into trees, flowing English ivy leaping over the brick wall on our covered carport and several hydrangeas and lilies growing in between the old oaks.
My sewing area is on the other side of this divided room. It also holds an antique iron twin bed for when we have company. Plus my pie safe that holds tons of material and supplies. So can't believe I didn't think of using it before....amazing how things you have had for years take on a new role when you move.

There is a great cabinet and shelving dividing the room into such wonderful areas. I used the shelving as a perfect place to set my ooaks. They are looking out the windows at all the magnificent old oaks. The cabinets beneath hold supplies and some of my weebies.

I hope that you have enjoyed your tour of our new place. Now...it's time to go fill up the birdbath again and get to sculpting.

Until next time.....

Hugs,
Regi

  1. Great new space. New is a such a nice word isn't it? Love the "new" applications of old pieces. It all looks so bright and uncluttered. Glad you are back.

  8. Wow, what a beautiful new space- I totally LOVE finding new uses for old things! And you're right that sometimes, it takes moving to see thing with new possibilies....that's one reason why I like rearranging the furniture!
    Can't wait to see the new sculptures!

  10. Yay! I'm so glad you're in and settled. Last time we 'talked' it was dicey. Been there, done that, myself.

    If you'd like, I'd be happy to do a feng shui evaluation for you. Draw up a floorplan (it can be rough) and email it to me.

    I've been pretty busy so not sure how fast I can get to it, but I'd love to gift this to you!
