{ where } the magic happens

i've been busy designing lots of bijoux these days, and figured it might be fun to show you some new photos of the little studio where this happens. it's located on the bottom floor of my duplex apartment, just separate enough that i actually feel like i'm 'going to work' in the mornings. it's a compact space, but i've maximized the square footage to efficiently allow room for crafting, blogging, shipping, prepping for shoots, etc. ~ with enough leeway for myself, an assistant, and occasional interns to coexist. plus, the loveseat pulls out into a guest bed ~ making this a truly multi-purpose place!!







i detest clutter, and yet require a lot of miscellaneous stuff for my various projects. thus, i've kept things monotone as much as possible, with less-pretty necessities hidden away in white ikea boxes, stacked atop white ikea shelves. the couch is from crate and barrel, the coffee table (slash extra desk) is from west elm, the floor lamp came from z.gallerie, and the colorful rug is from anthropologie.
