Goals: Office/Studio

One of my top goals in life is to have an office/studio in my home or apartment. I dream of it having my camera equipment in one corner with my computer, possibly some studio lights, and of course my camera. On the other side of the room I want it to be my sewing corner. I can have a huge table top to spread my fabric on, multiple sewing machines(one for sewing & the other for embroidery). All my fabric(custom made of course) would be tucked neatly on shelves and of course color coded...hello OCD.

I've been keeping a board on Pinterest for a while now of possible office and studio spaces and I can't get over how amazing they are; each one of them is perfect in their own unique way. 

For a smaller space, without the studio of course. I could definitely see myself working out of here and when I'm done working for the day, I can shut the doors and keep all the goodies inside.

Organization is key for me and something that serves the purpose but also looks neat and tidy. I'm a huge fan of those white boxes with the label holders on them.

yes. yes. YES! The clean colors and the tidy shelves is absolutely what I would want for a studio area...and of course a window looking out into the ocean. I mean, I guess it doesn't have to be an ocean but a girl can dream right? 

organization at it's finest.

Ignore the horrible colored floor and center yourself to all the shelves displaying the fabric. If this shelving was in the clean and brightly lit room, I would never come out of there. 

Do you know of any amazing offices or studios that hope to be yours one day!? Please share them with me, I would love to hear and see them!

Goals: Apartment

My ultimate goal in life is to find a job that I could see myself for a very long time. I would be happy doing what I'm doing and that's all that really matters, right? Second on the goal list is, finding an apartment and being able to have it all on my own. Not saying that I'm not liking living with others because I do, it's nice coming home at night and having people to talk to or having a game night. I think I would miss that.

I'm not looking for a house or even a one bedroom apartment, even though that would be nice. I'm just dreaming of a cozy little studio that's decorated the way I wan & I can watch movies that make me ball my eyes out, without anyone watching(I really don't like crying in front of people. tis embarrassing) Just having a small space where I know I will keep it clean because it is small and if I don't clean it well, good luck moving around in it.

Pinterest is my go to, to find inspiration; I have a "home" board that I resort to often that makes me giddy inside knowing that someday I will have a place like these.

The first few photos are from the same little studio that I'm just madly in love with! 

It's so clean and fresh!

Because it's such a small area, storage in any possible way is going to be rare, unless you have a under the bed drawer system which is a major NEED!

That teal accent wall is divine! I'm also kind of loving the room separator curtains. Definitely something to keep in mind when living in a studio. 

So remember how I said storage is kind of "not a thing" in studios? Yes well, this unit would definitely be my go to piece. I have been eye balling it ever since I saw this post....here. It's from Ikea and it's definitely the most efficient ways to store items. There are also baskets that you can purchase to store items that you may not want to be seen on display as well. As for the empty see threw spots, I have been collecting art and other coffee table books for the past three years that would look lovely displayed for everyone to see. 

Do you have any dream apartments or studios that you just love? Please share them with me! I would love to take a look-see:)

Adventure: England

In the Summer of 2013 my mother and I hopped the pond over to England. To say that it was the best trip I have ever taken would be an understatement. There wasn't one thing about England that I didn't like; the people, food(yes, you can find amazing food in England), the city, the country, the parks, transportation, and so much more. The fact that any restaurant has some kind of amazing tea(besides the pubs) at any given moment, makes my heart so happy; the tiny sandwiches, the adorable desserts, and the fact that putting cream into your tea is all right by me!

I saw so many fantastic sites while in England and I couldn't thank my mother more for giving me the gift of travel. Traveling is a gift and it's the most precious gift anyone could ever give me.

Another reason England is so grand and beautiful is because of the amount of history that comes from it.  We went to Canterbury one day and wow. Just wow. The city's castle was built by William the Conqueror in 1070, seriously mind blowing that something in this world could be so old. There were parts of the castle that you could still walk around in and you could just feel the energy from the stone walls. 

One of my goals and bucket list items is to go back and explore other parts of England and possibly parts of Europe too. 

Have you ever been to England? What was your favorite spot to see??

besides all the cute guys with accents;)
