Small Creative Work Spaces

I live and work in the same small space.  Sometimes it gets pretty messy and unorganized when I'm working on a project and I start pulling out fabrics, paints, trims, paper, etc. - and please, if I have a deadline to meet, it's even worse.  And did I mention 2 to 3 deadlines in a row?  But I can always tell  when it's time to clean up - to put all the paints away, close containers, fold the fabric up, etc.  It's when there's no place for my eyes to rest, if that makes sense.  When every surface in my space has something on it; it makes me feel frantic and unorganized.  After I clean up I feel a sigh of relief, I enjoy the look and ambiance of my space and then...

So, I'm always on the lookout for creative ideas to combine living and working in the same space.  Below "are a few photos".

I hope these pictures offer you some creative ideas to make the perfect work space in your space!  Have a great weekend!
