My Work Space

Hello!

Why the birds? :<) They are my Cordon Bleu finches and they watch me work every day. They love the light from the window and the classical music playing - I also love Adele - and their sweet little noises are an enjoyable background when I am working.

Before I posted I made a quick sketch of my work space - which takes up half of my living room - to give you an idea of the layout. It is sits in the front right corner of the room and is basically a square that I work inside so that I can access everything while sitting in my chair. My apartment is very small so I need to have everything very organized and compact - especially in my work space.


Looking in from the door into the apartment - a small kitchenette is to the right before the living room with a hallway to the left which leads to the bathroom and the bedroom which shares a wall with the living room. Pretty small apartment!



























And my 'living room' area of the living room. :<) Not quite half of the room - just space to walk into the area - barely!


Back into the kitchen area on the left (see the little window in the living room wall by the chair - that is between the two rooms) and the door into the apartment. With the doorway on the right into the hall leading to the bathroom which would be on the left of the hall and the bedroom which would be on the right (and it also has a window!) and shares a wall with the living room. Yes, one can get stir crazy in this apartment! :<)


Thank you for stopping by today to visit my blog! I hope that you enjoyed the tour of my workspace. Tomorrow I will have photos of more detail to show what I have in my storage units and how I organize my supplies. Wishing you a fun day in your workspace!

What an efficient workspace! I have been in large dream craft rooms where there are workstations for cricut, embossing, glitter etc...but I much prefer your set up where everything is within reach of the chair! Small is sometimes better :) It also forces you to be neat and tidy when it is part of your living space.
Will be watching for your organizing tips...take care!

Wow, thanks for the tour. This is what I need to do as I also work out of my living room and basically have it all piled up. Yikes.

Thanks for inviting us in for the tour today. You sure are good at organizing a lot of supplies into a small space

what a great organized space. Although I have a craft room, I am slowly creeping into the living room so that I am not isolated all the time. Your space is so much tidier than mine, but I am working on it!!!
