Studio time.

As business continues to grow, I've come to discover that finding space to work is seemingly more and more difficult. My projects trail from my dining room over to the entry way and on to the garage. There are vases and petals and clips of bouquet wire...well, everywhere! So when my husband and I embarked on yet another round of home remodel, we decided it would be a benefit (to both of us) to build an area in our home for me to work. So now rather than walk into our basement and see to your left our laundry and furnace room, you will see my studio.

While there is still an infinite amount of work ahead of us, the next thing on my checklist is choosing the interior design for the studio. Flowers can be quite messy so I need surfaces that clean easily and hide dirt. But I also want a space that is inspiring. I want to open the doors and smile. So I turned to one of my ever faithful books on color and space and began dreaming.

The swatches above show some of the colors I am hoping to use - vibrant pinks and soft yellows, a little black and a soft grayish green. The floor will most likely be a grayish green and black checkerboard and so to contrast the darkness I want the fresh vibrancy of yellows and pink on the walls, cabinets and/or countertops. Plus, if you know me, you know I love pink and black -  I couldn't have a studio without them! Can't wait to share the finished product with you.
