Fabulous Feature: A Few of Monica’s Favorite Things

It’s another week and another Fabulous Feature where I couldn’t just choose 1 item from the fabulous Monica’s submissions.  Trust me when I say that I showed self constraint in only choosing three.  Her vintage storage trunks, vintage portable studio, and lovely chalkboard stone were the one’s that just spoke to me.  I hope you have the same feelings as I did when you see just how amazing this these items are.

Fabulous Feature: A Few of Monica’s Favorite Things

“I am a licensing artist, photographer and lover of all things creative. Unfortunately, after the sale of my property in Italy two years ago, I haven’t found a place to call home as of yet, but I’m not letting that refrain me from being creative! I don’t have a studio anymore (or let’s say, as for now!), and just work on the dining room table, crammed full with art supplies! I also have a pile of vintage trunks and suitcases, that I use as storage.

These are my favorites things at the moment:

“My chalkboard stone I made, with the writing Just Keep Swimming. I have loved it in the cute movie Finding Nemo, and I always stick to it in my personal and artistic life. Storage cans, both vintage and up-cycled. Fresh posies, I always have on my worktable.”

“My vintage portable studio.” 

“Vintage trunks I use to store all my crafty mess, finished artworks and such.”

Fabulous Feature-Stamp Storage

This weeks Fabulous Feature brings a smile to my face.  I love it when storage can be beautiful and on display.  We didn’t acquire all of our treasures to have them hidden away, did we?  That is why I love how Mary Ann has taken a 3-tiered basket and turned it into the perfect place for stamp storage.

“I love using this 3-tiered basket for storage in my studio. Right now it’s home to rubber stamps and a sweet little mercury glass bird. It’s a perfect catch-all for keeping things in plain view instead of being tucked away and forgotten. Oh, and it looks pretty cute too!”

Fabulous Feature: Stack ‘em High

Does your studio, office, or workspace serve as a dual purpose?  Maybe a dining room, living room, garage, or even a guest bedroom?  If this is the case you know that extra storage is key.  That is why today’s Fabulous Feature really spoke to me.  Not only are Karen’s vintage suitcases beautiful but they serve as storage.  How genius is that?

“My favorite thing in my studio would have to be my stack of suitcases because when you are calling your small spare bedroom (with the bed intact!) your “studio” you really do need all of the storage space you can get!!  I’ve scoured flea markets, dusty attics, and yard sales for years culling these suitcases, carting them home on planes like an ancient world traveler, all for the thrill of filling them until they barely latch and stacking them high!  My favorite one would have to be the one near the top with the old train ticket still attached…I just can’t bear to cut it off!”
