This San Francisco warehouse captures the essence of the city's industrial past and adaptive reuse architecture. Located near the waterfront, this historic structure features exposed trusses and beams, characteristic of early 20th-century industrial design. The large, open interior space is illuminated by rows of windows, allowing natural light to highlight its raw, utilitarian aesthetic. Notably, the vibrant red door contrasts with the otherwise muted tones of the building, adding a splash of color and a hint of the structure's historical significance. The warehouse's blend of metal and wood elements reflects San Francisco's rich maritime and industrial heritage. Now repurposed, it serves as a hub for various enterprises, maintaining its architectural integrity while accommodating modern uses. This building is a quintessential example of how San Francisco preserves its architectural history, balancing old-world charm with contemporary functionality.
Whenever I start to feel overwhelmed by the rest of my life I just have to remind myself that I get to escape to my studio almost every day. It's a good life.
in my home (creative corner to be more precise) now
they make me happy *Ü*

This is the side panel of my IKEA Expedit Desk. My boyfriend made the ribbon storage for me using IKEA curtain poles and a free standing Eiffel Tower sculpture. He bought me some 'S' hooks so I could have some of my Tim Holtz treasure on display.
I tried to declutter/sort out my creative space ONCE AGAIN LOL. You can see a good part of my inspiration / WIPs wall on the right. Wooden clothespin are "sticked" to the wall with BlueTack. And the string is knotted to the doors. No hole. (we rent) This corner you see is approx. 1 meter x 1.5 meters. SMALL, I tell you.

My Craft mojo has finally come back (from vacation maybe ???!) after two months of NOT sewing a thing.
I think I'll be sewing until I have enough stock to make a good shop update.
PS : there is WATER in that big mug. Yes, water. It's been hot today, and windy, plus the walks to/from the school, I am awfully thirsty !!! :D

Rob Ryan's large tape, coming from a parcel (coming itself from a very special friend)
I loved it so much, I cut it from the envelope & taped it on my sewing machine
Ahhhh!!!! Peace and tranquility since it's hockey night in Canada for the big boys downstairs - beer, nachos and chicken wings...and yes Christmas is finish, I just love little lights in the winter darkness (-:

Office refurbishment in Canary Wharf, London for a financial client. The brief was to create a more inspiring working environment by targeting previously underutilised areas of the existing offices.
Previously uninteresting meeting rooms located throughout the 12,000 sq ft floor were given a radical face-lift with full height photographic images and use of colour across furniture and flooring. The spaces, both open and cellular, are now creative areas successful both in their intended use as well as creating focal points in the open plan floor.
The spaces, both open and cellular, are now creative areas successful both in their intended use as well as creating focal points in the open plan floor.
The breakout area has been integrated with the previously separate tea point to create one large open plan space with zones for dining and food preparation. A large circular meeting table with blackboard ‘cocoon’ provides a great area for team lunches and brainstorming sessions. A full height, panoramic forest image provides a focal point and combined with the use of natural wood throughout creates a relaxing environment for personnel to utilise throughout the working day.

The Pre-war industrial power station, decommissioned in 1971, became a place for the homeless and scene for graffiti artists until it was renovated in 2000. Now a multipurpose centre for the Arts and entertainment hub in Brisbane.
My desk while living I was in between apartments and at home with grandparents in Apollo, PA.
Revisitng some old Flickr photos and uploading them again here while I remember how much I enjoyed setting up these creative spaces in old apartments and living situations. My first Mac, getting my first DSLR, trying to build a space that felt conducive to creative things that meant a lot to me.
Another creative space in the most beautiful apartment I ever had. Our roommate moved out to live with his soon to be wife and I took over the spare room to be a sewing/art space. This room felt so safe and so me. When we split up this eventually became my bedroom too.
From the 2008 Flickr post: This is my new studio. I am calling it The Red Tent. I finally got everything in today and changed things around over and over.

Stocking up again, before we leave ... weeks will pass by so quickly. These were bought in "La Droguerie", Paris. And they're part of my birthday gift. (April 25th 2009)

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.
This client wanted his old Ford truck lettered to look like it might have been done 50 years ago. I mixed up the paint with a bunch of clear and flattening paste to accentuate the strokes and give it a faded out look.
