I’ve been meaning to do this for a while… so here are a few photos of this little space. This is where I teach lessons, muse, doodle, and dream. We both play our instruments and get crafty in here. Currently my love is learning to make a kilt and I’m trying my hand at a few mousey cat toys.
I adore the color on the walls and pretty much built the room around that dark and soothing sea foam green. It has a very calming effect and I was drawn to it immediately. That amazing drafting table is something Aaron picked up before I met him. It’s the perfect height for us tall folks and has plenty of storage for all our bits and bobs. Most of the other furniture is thrifted, like the chairs, red table, and the mirror I freshened up with a quick strip of teal. The sea port ink drawing and the thermometer/barometer/hydrometer were his grandfather’s.
This is the bagpipe and whistle section, along with my treasured music bag from childhood. I also keep the mandolin and electric violin tucked away here – close at hand and not in the closet where I can’t see them!
The Tolkien quote print is from Society 6 and was a gift from my mother. The Einstein quote I got at one of those discount home goods stores years ago and the rainbow lights are from Target. My love got those curtains from Urban Outfitters when I mentioned how they tied in the blues, greens, with pops of yellow. He also ordered the jazz cat print on Etsy from Catherine Hiley. Animals playing instruments are adorable to me.
This is where I keep books, games, and colored pencils for siblings and Suzuki Journals for parents to peruse if they wish. The bin underneath is where I stash sheet music and books for my own practice.
There is a rather long list of things I’d like to add, change, hang on the walls, or make for this room. I have a plethora of ideas for a gallery wall. I feel like a lot of things sit on the floor (things I didn’t need to photograph like my note card collection and another cork board I haven’t hung). I would like bamboo blinds to match the woodsy vibes and I keep meaning to go to the nursery the next time I have a few bucks I want to spend on more plants. Also, find some sort of tall lamp or different light fixture. It could go on and on. But I won’t be getting to any of them because of a very exciting reason that I will be writing more about so soon…We’re moving!!!
