Not long ago I started a collection of glass tree toppers, so far I have only 3 and two of them are old/vintage ones. I like to display them on glass bottles in my studio shelf at Christmas time.

This is my lovely craft space. As you can see I am quite a neat freak although my desk is never THIS tidy. It's usually covered with supplies and I work on a tiny corner.
our family painting production on the wall of the atelier, in the place of honor next to the apple hi-fi
I spent most of the day decluttering, dusting, cleaning, reorganizing my creative space, it's almost done now. Then I suddenly felt the urge to add happy lights.
happy lights .... checked.
The Anthony Building is an iconic structure comprising of a 23,078 rentable square foot retail and office building located directly on Historic Clematis Street in the heart of Downtown West Palm Beach's thriving high-energy entertainment and business district.
The five-story building features the first two floors converted to a prime, ground-floor retail suite fronting Clematis with 18-foot-high ceilings and approximately 850 square feet of mezzanine space and currently housing the very popular tenant Fitness Hub. The top three floors consist of conventional and loft offices with original hardwood flooring and two floors that cover the entire footprint of the building and a penthouse floor that covers approximately 40% of the footprint on the south end of the building with a large rooftop patio accented by three sets of French doors.
The building's façade maintains its original historic and prominent design with three-story decorative columns and carved concrete architectural cornices, moldings and gold-leafed lettering that give the Property tremendous street presence in this trendy location. Currently 31.7% leased to two tenants, the Property represents valuable upside to the well below market ground floor retail as well as the lease-up of the 3rd and 4th floors. Highly flexible office floors allow for multiple smaller tenants or single floor tenants.

Thinking about previous apartment creative space setups from old Flickr posts. This is from a post here from 2007.
Last day of February 2009. Board from Ikea, magnets bought on Etsy -see notes later, on the photo- or gifts from Laurraine. The Junk-Mail Idea Notes are in full use. On top, cartoon plastic figurines from my hubby's childhood. Calendar made with Big Huge Labs, and printed at home. (neato !)
This is not much of an inspiration board, properly speaking, but it helps me remember ideas, or little things. There's another board on the right. (not pictured) (Feb. 28th 2009)
alarm clocks:
ebay. half of them don't work unfortunately.
harmophone: ebay
melodica: fleamarket
blue curtain and orange curtain: custom made
blue vase: das depot
a young football fan, jersey number 21 fluttering, is caught in a moment of innocent contemplation at an art gallery. the black and white photographs before him, a stark contrast to his colorful attire, invite a curiosity that transcends age. it's a scene of cultural immersion, where the vibrancy of youth meets the stillness of captured time. this small spectator, dwarfed by the scale of the artwork, represents the purest form of engagement: a child navigating the expansive world of visual art. and maybe he is just a little man ;)
I took this of my craft room where I scrapbook at. I have storage for all of my various crafts...sewing supplies, fabrics, beads, paints, yarn, stamps, paper, scrapbooking supplies etc.

An accessible entrance ramp glows lime green in the early morning light at Pier 70, creating a striking color accent against the weathered industrial architecture. This photograph captures the thoughtful integration of contemporary accessibility features with historic shipyard buildings, showing how adaptive reuse projects can honor the past while meeting modern building codes and standards. The lime green painted ramp—both the surface and the safety railings—makes an bold statement, transforming a purely functional ADA-compliant element into a design feature that adds visual interest to the historic facade. This color choice feels intentional rather than arbitrary, providing wayfinding through color coding while injecting contemporary energy into the space. The yellow tactile warning surface at the ramp's edge adds another safety-mandated element that becomes part of the overall color composition. Behind the ramp, the entrance itself features painted doors and trim, also in that distinctive lime green, creating a cohesive treatment of all contemporary interventions. The illuminated doorway reveals warm interior lighting, suggesting active occupancy and welcoming visitors into what appears to be office, studio, or retail space within the converted industrial building. Modern exterior lighting fixtures mounted above the entrance provide security and visibility while maintaining an industrial aesthetic appropriate to the context. The building's facade tells multiple stories through its layered materials and textures. White-painted horizontal siding dominates the lower level—likely original shipyard construction or an early modification. Above, a massive wall of steel-framed multi-paned windows catches the golden light of early morning, their green-painted frames echoing the color choices made for the entrance elements below. To the right, an exposed brick wall section shows the raw industrial bones of the structure, complete with large rust-colored metal brackets or structural elements that once supported equipment, cranes, or building systems. The architectural scale is impressive. Those towering window walls would have lit vast interior spaces where ships were built, repaired, or outfitted with machinery. The multiple stories of glazing speak to the generous ceiling heights necessary for industrial operations—advantages that contemporary tenants appreciate for their sense of volume and abundant natural light. The colorful building visible in the background left, with its distinctive banded appearance, provides context for the diverse architectural approaches across the Pier 70 campus. The deep blue predawn sky creates a dramatic backdrop, that rich saturated color that only appears during the earliest morning hours or latest evening twilight. This timing allows the artificial lighting to register strongly—the illuminated doorway, the glow on the lime green surfaces, and the strategic exterior fixtures all become compositional elements that define form and space in the low ambient light. The empty courtyard and the long shadows cast by the ramp railings emphasize the quietness of this early hour. There's a solitude here that invites closer examination of details that might be overlooked during busy daytime hours. The concrete paving shows signs of industrial use—stains, patches, wear patterns—reminding us this was a working space long before it became a destination for creative businesses and urban explorers.
The juxtaposition of preservation and modification is handled with sensitivity. The lime green interventions announce themselves as contemporary additions rather than attempting to mimic historic materials. This honest approach to adaptive reuse respects both the building's history and its current function. The accessibility ramp isn't hidden or apologetic—it's celebrated through color and lighting as an essential element that makes these historic spaces available to all users. From a preservation standpoint, this approach represents current best practices. Modern building codes require accessibility, life safety systems, and other features that didn't exist when these structures were built. Rather than trying to invisibly integrate these elements, contemporary preservation philosophy embraces a "reversible and identifiable" strategy where new interventions are clearly distinguishable from historic fabric. The lime green entrance is unmistakably a 21st-century addition that could theoretically be removed without damaging the underlying historic structure.
The composition itself is carefully considered—the diagonal line of the ramp, the vertical emphasis of the windows, the horizontal banding of materials on the facade, and that strong lime green accent all work together to create a dynamic image that's about both past and present coexisting in San Francisco's evolving waterfront district.
That's what my/our secret project was ! A handmade inspiration board, made out of :
- bamboo sticks (4)
- cotton tape (6 meters)
- tiny nails (20)
- thread
- hemp twine
We'll be building another one next week. This one will be an "Inspiration Board", the other one will be an "Idea Board". (for my ideas)
Total cost ?
TEN euros for BOTH boards.
(U$ 15.00 I suppose)
The reason for this board ?
I didn't want to drill a big hole in the wall for a metallic board, I could hand string (like I used to do in Chessy), I had other ideas but they cost more.
So this idea came to my mind. It's lightweight, ecological & economical. Perfect.

This is my tiny sewing space which is in the office me and the dear hubby share(for now)... I can't wait till I have the whole room to myself!
I'm running out of room!
Little peek into my working space, more info and shots on the blog www.dearestjackdaw.com/2012/01/dearest-jackdaw-hq.html
Yep, that's my new creative space, I can hardly believe it !! This is the computer corner on one desk, and my sewing corner on the other. I'm little by little adding my fabrics & creative stuff, but it's taking me ages to iron all of my stash for fitting the square shelves !!!
Decoration will be added soon as well.

Day 10
Theme Friday "Creative Space".
My creative space is this table in a leaky conservatory that I have,during term time,sole control of.Once everyone else back from Uni I have 1/3rd to call my own.I also share this "creative space" with two dogs,three cats, a pile of logs (quite large in winter),assorted household detritus such as wellingtons,garden shears,the hoover,obselete computer equipment that might just come in useful one day,the tumble drier and when Uni has finished...several bikes.No wonder what I make isn't very creative as the Feng Shui can't be too hot.
Me Made high waist trousers as worn before Vogue V8717.
Blouse not worn much before but adjusted it this morning Vogue 8392.To be blogged soon.
Also wore again my swimsuit.
Put on my new mustard yellow flats to take the edge off of my ultra embarrassing creative space.
i dig how the magnetic board and box of paints are off-center, but the vase of yellow flowers balance it all out.
i was planning to add smaller frames to the left of my inspiration board, but may keep it as is.
decluttered is a good thing.
Sony held their Creative Space event at the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park where people could try out their new A7 V mirrorless camera and several of their lenses.
The event included photowalks in the park with a model (instagram id "lannie_lane"). I'm not really a portrait photographer, but I gave it a try and managed to capture a few good images, two of which are posted here.
Ahh this is the reason the door of my craftroom is usually closed...a wee bit in disarray. But I like it that way. It's MY mess and really I DO know where everything is ;)
