Welcome to my little attic studio!
So this is how it all started... it's been a work in progress for over a year now...so I thought The "Where Bloggers Create" party would be the best place to finally unveil my 99.9% finished studio....
This is the burnt orange beginnings....this room was screaming for transformation! Don't ya think?

Now finally...Ta dah......
There's nothing like starting a project and being able to leave it right in the same spot and have it stay there until you get back....ahhhhh no gremlins to move my stuff or take my tools.
Finally having a space of my own to feed my head and spur my creativity is truly a god send.

These are a few of the projects I have completed since I have had my own space.
I hope you've enjoyed your visit to Gypsy Fish Studio....Now, I'm off to go check out all the other havens of
creativity! Thanks Karen for hosting such a fun event! I think I'm headed for inspiration overload!
I really like how you have transformed the attic in to a beautiful studio. It truly is stunning looking room with a lot of attention to detail. Well done!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend
Warm wishes

I love your stuff!!! You did a wonderful job of transforming that orange into that lovely white.
ReplyDeleteI have the same affliction...wonder if it is "out of sight, out of mind"?
Great job!
Enjoy your weekend.

Its so pretty ~ it reminds me of My Nana's attic. Not that she had a studio up there. But there was a bunch of great "stuff" to look through, a big table and comfy chair. Truly your studio is a feast for the senses. Nana's attic didn't have heat though.
ReplyDeleteHi Beth,
ReplyDeleteYou have a gorgeous studio space with so much character (I love the painted wood floors) I can see that you and I have the same affliction for not storing things out of sight. I like to store my things in old containers out in view...if I can see it, I'll use it.
I'm posting my room tonight so I hope you'll stop by for a visit.

OOOH I LOVE your new studio!!!!! I have to have all of my things out and around me in my studio in order for me to be creative so I can understand your space. It is so pretty and your things just add to that:) Have fun in it!!!!!

Wow! What a beautiful creative space!!!! And in the attic!??!?! Yes, Mr. Fish should be given an award for getting the air/heat going! Nothing worse than cold piggies!

Purrs!

What a beautiful studio!
ReplyDeleteBeth,I have been waiting for the big attic reveal. I just adore your creations, your studio, and even your clutter. I must say I can empathize with the "organized mess" way of doing things! Your studio is light, airy and enchanting. Thanks for sharing. Oh - I love that you have put the Gypsy Fish dish to work in your studio too! ~ Angela
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work space! I love the use of your garden fence or gate. If you take a look at my blog you'll see why. Wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,

What an amazing space you have created! You have inspired me to add to my own crafting area.
ReplyDeleteI adore all of your storage solutions.
You have a wonderful style, in your art work and your decorating. This is such a beautiful space.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful transformation! Know wonder your creations are fabulous, how can they not be when you get to create them in such a great space! I love the metal gate, I want one now and am looking at my room to see if there is any space left to squeeze one in! Thanks for sharing, Theresa
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous!!! And I love your art. And your shop...
ReplyDeleteI'm adding your blog to my blogroll so I can pop over often!
Hugs,

Wow Beth! Such an awesome space! I love your attic studio! I love that you have your own space to create in. The ability to leave things out to work on...is awesome in itself! My studio is in my bedroom and although I really appreciate my space...it sure would be nice to not share it with Curly, Larry and Moe...(3 year old, 10 year old and Hubby)..smiles! Great studio!
ReplyDeleteBTW...thanks for your comment on my Studio too! Smiles...Lovey
Beautiful! I love the soft vintage feel. Thanks for the tour and thanks for visiting my place.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Margaret
What a transformation. Unbelievable. Your space is wonderful and I love your creations. I'll be back after the party to look more at your blog. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing more wonderful than a little attic studio - like an artist's garret! The transformation is stunning - white walls, so much light and full of your treasures. Your jewelry is wonderful.

What a sweet retreat! You have so many goodies to create with and I'm really looking forward to the part about leaving a project in my new area and not having to clear the table for dinner.
ReplyDeleteHappy creating!
Kathleen
What a nice space and an amazing transformation! Isn't it great to have a place all your own to create in?
ReplyDeleteOh Beth it is lovely!!! I've never been able to achieve this look. I can't even describe it, but I know I love it . I've tried and it always looks like a tornado hit my house! I guess I will just have to settle for coming over for frequent visits. Thank you so much for sharing it with us! I hope you are enjoying the party!
ReplyDeletexo,
Karen
Your creative space is just gorgeous, yes it does make a huge difference to have your own area to create in! You've done a fabulous job....
ReplyDeleteYour space is wonderful and so much fun stuff to inspire you!! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour space is so pretty! I love the love seat and all the goodies on display. You're right - what I love about my space is that the project I leave, is the project I return to! Gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous space. Love the way you covered the sofa and tied it around the legs. Your clutter is beautiful! Best wishes, Tammy
ReplyDeleteI really like how you have made the attic into a wonderful studio, what a great place to have. Thanks for visiting my place.
ReplyDeleteAnni
Wow that is some attic...super transformation for your creative space! Wonderful necklaces...I really can't say enough about them. TFS.
ReplyDeleteWhat a big difference a little paint and some pretty things can make! You trasformed that room from something dark and dreary to light and dreamy. Very, very pretty!
ReplyDeleteHi Beth!
ReplyDeleteGirl, it's no wonder that all your creations are so BEAUTIFUL...your surroundings are so inspiring!!!!
I just left Jill's (gypsy brocante) attic and geez, you two girls are the "attic queens" in my book!
(dang...i wish i had an attic) haha
Love it ALL and thank you for letting me come in and be so nosey :))))
What a wonderful transformation Beth. Your space has come a long way from it's burnt orange beginnings. I love the angled walls of the attic. And it's so bright now that you've painted the walls. I am always torn between having my supplies out of sight or out in the open. I find that I use things more when they are out where I can see them so your "affliction" as you called it is probably not such a bad idea. Love the silver tray with your soldering supplies - do you actually do your soldering right on it? Your space is beautiful and thanks so much for sharing it with us.

Wow...talk about a transformation. It is lovely and peaceful and I love all your grown up stuff all around! It doesn't seem like clutter at all. You jewelry is just enchanting. I love the Charlotte with the hat and key...very, very clever. You really have a unique way of putting things together.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and I have a "young" blog and would love to have you visit, if you wish. She and I have been making jewelry together for fifteen years but also have other interests. I love vintage paper crafts and she loves vintage fashion...and we both love estate sales!
Thanks for giving us a peek at your creating site. This is sure a fun party and is was fun to see your unique jewelry!

Oh my, your creative space is so dreamy!! I just love your attic studio...thanks for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteFabulous transformation-love your space! love all your vintage goodies.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time stopping by your Blog and what a great find! Ooh how I love your creative space! Beautiful! I need a space like that so I can be so creatively inspired too!
ReplyDeleteWonderful space. Love the old suitcases and the wire gate on the wall!
ReplyDeleteSO beautiful! What a great space you have! I love your little slipcovered love seat with the lace throw-so creative! I love the painted wood floors and all the white. Love all of your white furniture and all your little doo dads. All your art is beautiful and I love your soldering tray. All I have is an old cookie sheet.
ReplyDeleteI just finished my attic studio this winter as well and I get what you mean about finally having a place you can leave your unfinished projects and not have to clean up every single time you are finished working then take it all back out the next time.
Enjoy your freedom and your little attic hideaway! Thank you for sharing your beautiful space! :)
It's always wonderful to see before and after photos and these are stunning. Your studio looks so warm and inviting, even if it was cold for part of the time. White walls are so clean and fresh, and I really like your big girl clutter. It really looks quite orderly and neat, considering all the projects you have going. And those keys with doll heads are adorable. Thanks for sharing your transformation with us.
ReplyDeleteReally georgeous! Thankyou for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Beth, WOW!!!! Your attic is amazing. What a beautiful space to create in. I love all your beautiful treasures and your work is gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing with us. Geesh!!! I can't believe I am only at the "G's" on my little journey, I guess it is going to take me quite some time to make it through the list. So fun seeing everyone's space.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Debby
Oh Beth ~ Your Creative Space is Amazing, I loved seeing the Burnt Orange beginnings ~ Love all the Vintage you have for work surfaces & Storage.... Love the Old Fence on the wall ~ Perfect!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! The white paint really helped! Love your space and I like to keep some things out to look at too. Some supplies are just so pretty it's a shame to hide them away in a storage container!
ReplyDeleteCreamy and dreamy, just the way I like it! Love the before and after transformation. Your jewelry designs are stunning! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Beth,
ReplyDeleteSorry it took me so long to check out your creative space, but I'm in the midst of packing for my big move.
Your space is so fabulous!! I would give anything to have a beautiful space like yours! You did an amazing job.
Have a lovely week.
Sincerely,
Melinda
Love your studio! It's an attic full of treasures. Thank you so much for sharing. I enjoyed my visit! Connie
ReplyDeleteI love your attic studio! It's so shabby-Chic"y"==my style. I could just cozy up on that sofa and browse through some inspirational magazines or read a good book. And that white table is fantastic! I don't think I'd ever leave that room!
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh... I love your blog!
ReplyDeleteI am for sure signing up to be a follower! I have just started my own blog, maybe you can check it out sometime: www.msbinglesvintagechristmas.com
Happy 4th to you and yours!

Your studio is wonderful! I could so curl up on that couch and spend lots of time. Thanks so much for the tour!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic space, love the brightness of teh whole space and the different shapes to the roof.
ReplyDeleteVery nice space.
Good Morning,
ReplyDeleteOh, you are such a lucky girl...your very own studio in the attic. I agree, leaving a project out, undisturbed, is the best feeling. I wish I could visit your space in person. I could stay for hours.
Yes, I am still making my rounds through the participants in Karen's "Where Bloggers Create" event...and having a wonderful time. Thank you for sharing your creative space with us. ~Natalie
You really made a great place to craft out of your attic. It is hard to make a space there actually because of the odd shape of the walls etc. but you seemed to not have a problem.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the inspiration!
What a perfect spot! I love the idea of an attic studio, just so cozy and special. You have beautiful things, thanks so much for letting me peek in. Diane
ReplyDeleteLove you studio Beth and just wanted to stop by and say hello as a fellow participant. I also found your blog via one of my Pink Saturday ladies as she was featuring a post for your Silver Sunday link...such a small world ;) I'll have to get together a SS post before the giveaway ends for sure! I've added your blog to my google reader so I can keep up with your posts. Hope you have a wonderful week! Fondly, Roberta
