{sew space}

so big things have been happening since i took the sewing class at fabrika. After a month or so researching and visiting local sewing shops, i finally purchased my very own sewing machine. (if you're thinking about getting one too, one of the most useful resources i found was this string of comments over at apartment therapy) i will also say that i splurged a little more than i'd intially planned to and made the decision to buy a higher end sewing machine with the promise that it will last me a lifetime and also comes with a 25 year warranty (and free classes to boot!). since the big purchase, i've been thinking of all the ways to make over our future studio/sewing/office space (don't you just love that fake wood paneling...haa). anyway, i seem to have picked up a small collection of workspace images...

wish list :: vintage dress form. bolts of sunbleached florals.

{cheerful elegance}

anna spiro's {of absolutely beautiful things} bright and happy brisbane home tour on apartment therapy can't help but make you smile. summery florals, stripes and hot pink pop against the clean white backdrop. proof to my husband that there are in fact women with more pillows on the sofa. but hey, i'll trade in a few pillows for the piles of design books in anna's gorgeous home.
