We’ve been working hard on several projects around here, besides the workshop. Ava’s room is about to get demolished before being pulled back together, Matt’s been working on several furniture builds, and I’ve been fluffing the guest room and redoing the writing room.
It’s funny how I’ve begun to look at a space from the camera’s/blogger’s point of view. I’ve been reworking the writing room to function more efficiently as an office, rather than a guest space first, office second.
It needed to feel studio-esque so that I feel inspired to create at all times, paint brushes, fabric swatches, and design books at the ready. We needed more shelving, and to create more of a nook for that huge daybed we built.
But, when I thought I was mostly finished, I snapped a few photos to look at the room from another point of view.
And quickly discovered it wasn’t done.
Something needed to be on that wall, and that arrangement looked terrible.
It’s a pain to reshoot, a pain to change some things, but don’t be afraid to redo the redo’s. Our spaces need to speak to us all the way, and rushing might leave us feeling a bit, well, unfinished.
But don’t worry, I’ll show you what we’ve been up to next week!
ugh! I guess we will HAVE to wait! 🙂 Can’t wait!

Looking good, Mrs. Shaunna! Have a great Friday. Besos
I’m finding that I am doing the same thing – redecorating from the camera’s point of view. It’s funny how the limited perspective of the camera frame helps me to see what works and doesn’t work. Things that I thought looked great in person, I dislike in the photos. and then when I “fix” those things and get a good photo, I realize that it does look much better in person! lol
Blogging is such a learning experience!

All good points. I find myself having to rearrange things to do the photos and wish I didn’t always have to. Guess I need to be more organized about putting things back when I’m finished so I don’t have to move them out of the way to take a photo!
Can’t wait to see it when it is finally done. Also can’t wait to see your other rooms.
Can’t wait to see it. I started redecorating my 14 month old son’s room recently but totally switched direction when I found the coolest, vintage cowboy sheets at an estate sale. My soon to be 3 years old daugter’s room is also in the process of change.
