More studio dreams~

You know how I adore a tiny out-building. I just had to go shopping for a few more to add to my growing collection. I'm always on the lookout for the perfect studio space.
~*~
I like the night-time glow of this one. I am secretly a night-time voyeur. I love driving slowly by homes and looking in the windows. Can you see the bookshelves inside?

The Gothic windows appealed to me.
I may have to genuflect upon entering.



Does this sweet space have a basement underneath?
I love the big windows on the front-great light, perfect for painting.



I would happily 'go-to-my-room' upstairs and hang out on the small terrace.
Victorian gingerbread meets miniature Taj Mahal.


I am re-posting this perfect winter cottage... because it's just perfectly-perfect.



I am imagining a small loft overhead-just right for a quick afternoon nap in between illustrations.



This is the same cottage as above - only this one is a bit more secluded. Accessed only by boat.
The waves gently lulling one to sleep.
~Sweet Dreams~


This special hide-away has been seen all over the internet, and you can understand why- isn't it a dream?
Wouldn't you love to camp out here for a long weekend alone~ or with someone very special?


Oh delicious-I love the stone, but no chimney. I'm thinking great in the summer-not so great during the fall and winter. But now imagine this little get-away with a small stone fireplace.
I wouldn't mind getting snowed-in here.
~*~
I know many of you are getting blasted with an epic snow storm this weekend.
Here in Maine it's a near miss.
Light a fire if you have one, brew some tea, curl up with a quilt and a good book, snuggle with your cat or pup or significant other.
Stay off the roads if you can and enjoy the quiet.

  3. My dream studio is around the corner, full of light, a sink to wash brushes, some nice music, my dog under foot and time to complete many visions which I always seem to race against time to capture everything I want on paper or canvas. I suspect that is an artist's dream.

  4. Debra, where do you find these beautiful treasure spaces. I would love any of them!! As with Patricia, I need music, lots of light, A farm style sink for clean up and shelves for art supplies and a canvas drying rack.

    And I think you have coined the perfect saying for the age....
    "Stay off the roads and enjoy the quiet"!!

  6. Adorable little places!! It is almost 10 pm Saturday night as I type this comment and I am sitting by the fire with a little Jeter dog on my lap, the husband already in bed asleep with the TV on (I can hear it from where I am). Shovelled and ice chipped twice today, one shovelling required from Friday night's snow storm and then Saturday afternoon after the mid-morning snow flurries..... all this shovelling prevented me from making my pot of chili for the Super Bowl Commercials, I mean... game... xoxoxo

  9. Debra this was such fun. I too have a strong affliction for small outbuildings. We had one long ago on our property that was used in 1918 as place for the farm workers to sleep. I always thought it was such a magical place with such potential. I am so fond of the 4th & 5th photos. Would love to have a special place like that again some day. Enjoy the remainder of your lovely Sunday ~
