basic grey and studio photos

Hello Friends, How are you today?? Today I am sharing a sneak peek of four gift card holders for any occassion. I made all the embellishments and enjoyed every minute of it. You can check out the “how to” on The BasicGrey Blog today.

On another note….now that the holidays are behind me I am finally starting to get organized in the ole’ studio. I thought I would share a few photos.

 I had three of the Ikea drawer units built in, raised up and added a counter top. The lamps are from Crate & Barrel. The pin board will become a piece of art when I get time.

These “photo” shelves flank each side of the door and displays cards, photos etc. They are still in the works. Looking forward to sharing more soon. Thanks for your visit. Hugs, Kathy

    It looks super & light especially with those white units. Love the look of that key & the watch & the way your checked ribbon picks up on the check in the paper.

    Lovely shots of your new room! I love the clean look of it and the IKEA draws (storage!). I am completing mine now as well and I got my desk and shelving from IKEA as well.. I just picked up a glass top for the desk as I know it would be inky in now time otherwise (it is white too..) Can’t wait to see what you create in there!
