DIY The Room
Judith recreates her new dream workspace for today's #DIYTheRoom
I have picked out 10 projects for my new re-vamped work room. Right now it is a mess-a dull and uninspiring room in our cellar. I sew clothes and small things, quilt, make jewellery, work with wool-feltmaking, scrap book and am always busy with various arts and crafts projects. Sometimes I have groups of friends in for classes in PMC jewellery and sewing, so I need a big table for my projects and a lot of chairs, a small table for my sewing machine and serger and lighting over the table. I would go for bright, bold colours and bling-inspiration and glam! I love the 70’s colours and patterns, so I would opt for the orange, yellow, pink, green, blue colour scheme with crazy big splashes of colour everywhere-alongside the glitter and bling! I have got lots of scraps of bright fabrics and bucket-loads of buttons for the magnets- making them would be my ”sitting-in-front-of-the-tv-in-the-evenings” project and the paper weights I could use for keeping my paper pattern pieces flat on the fabric when sewing. A really big gilded frame would be great to show off my jewellery and keep it all organized and the cabinet would be perfect for my beads, silver clay and all the bits and pieces needed for my projects The pallet sofa would be nice to curl up in when I work on my hand quilting, embroidery, or sewing. Both the sofa and the floor lamp would be painted and covered with 70’s style fabrics. I can’t wait to get started! :-)
Cheryl recreates the cosy book filled home of TV detective Sherlock Holmes for DIYTheRoom.
I've been intrigued with Sherlock's Flat from the first episode; the wallpaper, the scattered papers, the various science experiments. Every time I look at a photo or watch an episode, I seem to spot something new that I hadn't noticed before. The flat seems to be quite dark which also makes it seem cozy, especially with all of the books spilling off the shelves and the tea cups strewn about. The flat is bursting with information about all kinds of things, which makes sense since Sherlock is a detective, after all. This flat seems like the perfect place to be on a rainy day with the lights low, a hot cup of tea, and reading a good book in one of the armchairs.
Ginnie from HelloLittleHome recreates the inspiring workspace of Diane Von Furstenberg for #DIYTheRoom
Diane Von Furstenberg's office is the epitome of a creative work space. It's full of fun colors, inspirational items, and beautiful art. and To capture the look, I chose a combination of glam, yet functional accessories and paired them with plenty of bright colors.
Cat from The Rustic Willow recreates the stylish home of Lauren Conrad for #DIYTheRoom
Lauren Conrad exudes feminism, so when I was designing her living room, I knew that I wanted to incorporate that. I wanted it to be light, bright and airy with a lot of white and a lot of floral accents. I think all of the projects I rounded up fit that description, and would all complement each other together perfectly in her living room!
