Weekly Goods
This week, a collection of easy on the eyes pieces for the home.
1. Vintage Lamp
2. Ghana Market Basket
3. Rustic Storage Side Table
4. Roundcross Throw
5. Circle Shelf (Will tells me he could probably make something similar for me. Carpenter boyfriend, I love you.) via A Merry Mishap
The topic of home is on my mind a lot lately as we’re thinking that maybe moving into a smaller, cheaper apartment and getting a work space to work out of outside of our home might be a good idea. Work spaces are pretty affordable in LA and I’m talking with some friends about this idea as having a little more community and a separate space to work in might be much needed motivation and worth the productivity I hope it would result in. I’m also quite tired of having jewelry pieces everywhere and it being hard to get messy with making. It’s still in the gestational period in my brain, but it’s becoming more and more serious. So, we shall see.

These goods are right up my alley! I really like the round hanging wall shelf, I could use one right about now in my bedroom for all my misc.

that wood circle shelf is amazing! i don’t suspect it would be too difficult to make something similar with a soft and pliable wood. i’d be curious to see if Will does take the project on….. the description of Bride & Wolfe’s process is also wonderful. very fresh and inspiring, thanks!

Beautiful finds. I love the shelf and basket especially. I know what you mean about jewelry stuff getting everywhere. There are jump rings embedded in my rugs and metal pieces always escaping my studio space. It would be great to work in a separate space.

I bought one of those baskets in Portland, and I love it. It’s the perfect yarn or fabric basket.

that circle shelf is perfect! (think will would make me one too? haha. i’d do it myself, but i’m pretty sure i’d saw my hands off or something.)
i haven’t decided if working at home, or having a studio away-from-home, is a better idea. i think if you had a strong enough community, it could become like dobbin mews or something…inspiring each other and supporting each-others’ work. (sadly, studio space here is pretty expensive. le sigh.)
good luck with the decision!

That shelf is awesome. My husband used to work out of our home, but always desired an office of his own. he decided to rent a space and his business has done nothing but grow. Something about taking that leap and putting out that extra effort really has some amazing benefits! Good Luck.
