Happy Pink Saturday !! Thank you Beverly, you are the sweetest and most faithful Hostess ! :) Please go say Hi to her and the other Pink posters :)
Just a wee bit of pink on this old box. These were my Grandmothers pinking sheers :)
The Pink Westinghouse aluminum salt and pepper shakers were my Great Aunts, I just love them, and the pink measuring spoons I bought for my very first apartment twenty five years ago.
I bought these on eBay a few years back.................
To hold these.........................................
And my last bit of Pink are these roses I painted. I started this painting a few months ago, and finished it today :)
That is my Pink Saturday !!!! :)
Now, on the the Where Bloggers Create Party. Well, I was still too under the weather to finish the things I wanted to do for my craft room. ( YES, I say craft room, Not Studio, I picture a studio as an over-sized loft in a vintage downtown building, not my wee 8x10 room, hee hee :) )
I got this room last September when my Son moved out. He had been in and out, and this time, he seems to really want to be independent. So, after 6 months, we felt confident to paint it. It was this DARK, icky blue that he made me faux finish for him a few years ago.I cant tell you how DEPRESSING that color was for me. I feel SO weighted down around dark colors. I am a light and happy person, and love my surroundings to reflect that. Plus, Hubby drug home that big wood desk for me dumpster diving. EWE ! Anywhoo, even my poor dog just wanted to sleep when she came in here.
Finally, after much begging, Hubby put two coats of primer on it and two coats of my favorite pale cream paint on it for me :) Yippee !!!!That was in March, sadly I haven't done anything else to the room, but PACK IT with my Junk :) Well, I DID paint a few small shelves............And bought fabric for the chair I have now, drapes and a skirt to hide the computer under my desk. I chose these three prints. Two are vintage and the one on the left
I found at our local Upholstery fabric outlet. The desk has since been painted the same color as the walls and my other furniture, but I have yet to add the Jewelry. The things that make a room, a Home. :)
Thanks so much for visiting me today :) I hope soon I can finish my room and share it with you.
I hope you go say Hi to both Beverly and Karen, Our amazing, Creative, Awesome Hostess's !!! :)
Hugs,
Rhea

You have a divine craft room! I wish my kids would finish college and move so I could have a doll room and a crafting room. I love them bunches but I need some space! Seriously! Love to you Anne
Looks like it is coming together nicely, I can see why you create such magic! Hugs, Diane
It is already so pretty and so you Rhea! I hope you're having a good weekend! Happy Pink Saturday!
Rhea, your room is so pretty! You've made a really good start on it, and I can't wait to see it when you have it finished. I know it will be dreamy, just like everything you create!

I love your painted roses. Just beautiful!! It was fun to see where you have fun. - Kathy
Well, this just proves that you don't need a huge space to create the kind of magic that you do. All of your touches are lovely. I chuckled when I saw your pinking shears...I inheritied my Mom's...same box too, and her dressmaker's shears...she would flip if she knew I use them on paper!
Thank's for letting us poke around Rhea.

Ooooh, sugar, I'm so glad he finally got that blue off the walls for you. It's just precious. What are you going to do with that painting? Hmmmmm?????

I know what you mean about a son coming in and out. We have one of those! My son is in military training in Mo. right now. But will be back in July and looking for a job. I can't wait till he has his own place!! I love him, but he so wants and needs to be out on his own!
Sweet fabric and the room looks much more cheerful in the lighter color!
Hello Sweet Rhea,
What a pretty craft room. I would be happy with that. I have my things here and there, no specific place, as I don't have a craft room. Have a great weekend, sweet friend.
Debbie
You have two of the colors I love best in that room... that pale teal/blue and pink! What a great space. I enjoyed seeing this very much and appreciate you sharing with us.
Happy Pink Saturday...
XO,
Sheila :-)
What a difference lightening up makes! How cheerful.

the biggest step of painting the walls is done, the rest is the icing!

Ok I adore your pinks! The measuring spoons are great!! Your space is lovely! I too don't get blue as a wall color. Not a happy one for me! Love the change over!
Hugs, Lisa
Lovely Pink. I especially like the salt and pepper shakers and the measuring spoons!!

Happy Pink Saturday!

Hi Rhea,
Pretty pink treasures and your craft room is WAY better than my couple of tables set up in the lower level family room :) I love how it's coming together for you and the fabrics are very pretty!
Warmly,
Deb :)

Hugz,
Zandra
P.S. love the pink post, too.
It is going to be just beautiful. I cannot believe what a difference getting that coat of paint on has made! I love the upholstery you have chosen and and pink and aqua pain you put on your two shelves. I think your rosebud painting would look beautiful in there.
Thanks so much for letting me visit.

Hello Rhea, it's a pleasure to see where you create. I think it's wonderful that you have your grandmother's pinking sheers, what a gift of love.
I would love to see your finished space when it's complete. I think your room is magical. Happy Pink Saturday, Char

Oh, can I relate... my craft room (I do have a hard time calling my closet a studio LOL)was once hubby's office...it is STILL a grey-blue wallpaper and dark mocka paint wainscotting.... YUKK!!!
Love the change in paint colour in your room....
I love your pinks Rhea, and your craft room is so pretty with the new coat of paint... it always amazes me what a fresh coat of paint can do!
Have a happy week, xox heather

What a wonderfully creative space!
I adore your storage solutions. They have inspired me.
Your pinks always always ALWAYS make me HAPPY, Rhea! Love how the new paint job really brightened up your craft room. It is fun to see where you make such heavenly doo-dads! :0)
You are such a sweetheart for posting my Bridal Button! Hope you will join us this Friday for the party!!!!

Oh sooooo beautiful in cream! Yes that was the rigt thing to paint it haha! What color paint and who's it by? love it!!
Hi Sweetie!
I always love my visits here! Thanks for sharing your wonderous pinks and craft room! It's a room that shows how I have always envisioned the amazing things that you create, coming from!
I now have a graduate! She's college bound in the fall, Lord willing and will be staying at home for now.
No job news still, we still are waiting upon the Lord as G scoured oodles of job adds, with very little response. We have grown so much spiritually, but still have days of wondering why! Its been such a challenge in so many ways, but I remain faithful to our Lord! We are living on 401K $ which I am so thankful we have saved for years..just not quite how either of us envisioned using it.
Stop by for a visit when you are feeling good..and we must talk soon, okay?
Gentle hugs and much love!
Lorena
Lovely pinks and what a great creative space. Happy belated Pink Saturday :0)
Hi sweet Rhea! Happy PS, and I love your "new" craft room. Wow, what a difference. Hope you are feeling ok and have a wonderful week.
hugs,
Vickie

I know your room will be fab when you finish it just the way you want it. Good call with the paint job! And I love your fabric choices too.....
OMG!!! I love love love that fabric!! Your space is perfect if you ask me. :)
~Liz
What a beautiful space!
What an inspiration and testimony to what color or how a fresh coat of paint can transform a room! The fabrics you've chosen...oh, they speak my language! Just beautiful. The vision for this room is all in place, and what a warm, lovely place it will be when all is said and done! Xo, Sue
You took on quite a project and it is progressing nicely! I love the new colors and the fabrics you picked. Good luck with your project and thank you for sharing.
Hi Rhea!
It's so nice to visit you again. I love how your work space is coming along. It's so pretty. Can't wait to see it all together soon. Have a great weekend. Hope you can come by and visit me too.

Hi Rhea, I got my room when my son moved out too. You did a wonderful job of making it your own! I'm so glad you joined the party so we could all enjoy it with you!

Your room looks bright and cheerful now. Seeing all these pretty studios is making me want to get at my own re-do sooner rather than later. Thanks for the visit!
Delightfully bright and cheery space to create! A reflection of your personality I am sure. TFS!
well, you have a great start to your room already-takes time to get it "just right" i know, i've been trying for yrs :)
I think you are off to a great start ~ the paint change made a world of difference! This won't come together overnight ~ I'm still tweaking my little garage space, but enjoy the process otherwise it seems too much like work. : )
You vastly improved that room! It looks much brighter and cheerier now. Love the fabrics you have chosen. Thanks for sharing, Connie
Wow, the paint made such a difference. Love your space. Isn't that what all spaces should be-a work in progress?
I love the pained shelves you have in there.
Great space, pretty colors.
Good work on your room. Your little shelves are cute. It certainly is hard to take over a room when your child moves away. It took me 1 1/2 years.
When I saw a pix of your painted shelves it reminded me of my last craft space. I painted each wall a different color, using pink, green, blue and a yellow. All in the same color scheme you used on your shelves. When It was done it was darling! Thanks for the memory! And thank you for sharing your craft ROOM with us.
Love your space...mine (although I posted too late for the party) is still a work in process, mostly because I am getting so many ideas from all the rest of you who are in the party! Thanks for sharing.
What sweet pink items and your craft space has so much wonderful light to craft in.. I am trying to finish up the list of where bloggers create link party... It is taking me a while. But I am determined. Love to drool over others craft areas... I have only been blogging for about 3 wks but I would be honored if you would stop by for a visit at http://scrappingwithsherry1.blogspot.com Take care~ Sherry
Your banner photo is totally yummy like a french pastry treat! Love the Easter basket & cupcakes under glass. The stacks of fabric look so pretty on your shelf and so festive against the cream colored wall. Really like those fabrics you are using to decorate with too. :D
