Hello all!
Welcome to my new blog, Jolies Fraises! My name's Missy and writing a blog has always been one of my biggest dreams and aspirations. I have a great love for all things decor, design & DIY and through this blog I hope to share with you the various inspirations that cross my path, the different crafts and DIY projects that I'll be working on over time, and the ideas and thoughts that come to mind along the way. Feel free to leave comments at the end of any of my posts. I'd love to receive them and I'll definitely respond!
One of my passions that you'll see a lot of here on this blog is doing various crafty projects. I love to make handmade paper goods (such as cards and gift tags) using papers of different colors and patterns, stamps, markers, inks, embellishments, etc. Later on I plan to post some photos of them so you can see what it is I work on and enjoy doing in my spare time. The creation of this blog has also prompted me to start some other crafty/DIY projects which I'll also post pictures of later on. Since I love crafty things as much as I do, I undoubtedly possess quite a few craft supplies that I've accumulated over the last few years. As a college student currently living in a less-than-spacious dorm room, I'm thrilled to announce that next year I will be living in my own apartment! Though I'm of course excited about having my own kitchen, living room, bedroom and (perhaps even more notably) my own bathroom, I have to admit that the first thing that popped into my mind when thinking about a new apartment was having a...craft room/space! Finally, a place to put and store and organize all of my craft supplies so that they are easily accessible whenever the mood strikes to start doing my crafty-thing! Though it's unclear how much square-footage will be available to use for my craft space, I am sure there will be at least some. So, recently, I have been scouring the internet for inspirational photos of real-life craft rooms/spaces that might give me an idea of how I'd like to set up or decorate my own space come next Fall. Today I thought I'd share some of my favorites with you and hopefully you'll also find some inspiration from them too!
Nichol Magouirk's blog features photos of her awe-inspiring craft room. The vibrant colors, the organization, the abundance of storage - it's a crafter's dream (or at least it's this crafter's dream, anyway). The picture above is great because it shows off all those great colors of her various craft supplies that add so much vibrancy and fun to the room.
The picture above shows off her awesome craft supply storage lay-out -- all tucked into a pretty and elegant bookcase!
The two photos below are of Becky Oehler's lovely attic-turned-craft room and are featured on her blog, the Hemidemisemiquaver Design Blog.
I love the clean lines and beautiful features of this craft room, including the gorgeous hardwood floors and chandelier. The colors are also beautiful and work as a great backdrop to her various craft supplies on the shelves.
This last craft room pictured below is stunning not only in it's pretty white built-ins and clean and neat lines, but also the unique chandelier that hangs above it all, giving the classic space a modern edge that's unexpected.
Well that's all for now, but I'll be back soon with more posts. Thanks so much for stopping by!
