Hoops, A Wishing Chair and The Storybook Tree

ethereal-studio

Something’s a-brewing here in the tree-studio…but I can’t say much more than it sails my balloons (I promise I will share more later)! However I can share this: the 30-Day Sketch Challenge (albeit a little drawn out) Round 2 ‘Imagine…’ is in full swing, more than halfway through. For the next 12 sketches, I will be imagining some magical spaces for my dream studio. Above is a trio to start with…

The Storybook Tree

Of course, the ultimate studio would be nestled in my tree of dreams.

The Twirling Room

A room full of hoops in candy colors and thrifted gilt mirrors, for those mini dance breaks in between creating.

The Wishing Chair

Just 10 minutes on the canopied Wishing Chair for those important do-nothing moments of creative illumination. (Alas mine won’t have wings like the Blyton version!)

How are you making your studios and work spaces more delightful? Can you re-imagine what they should be? If work were more like play, how would it look like? Can you lounge on beanbags while typing? Perhaps, blanket forts for cozy huddled meetings? Ethereal paper jellyfish strung from the ceiling so that you have something that makes you smile during short breaks? How can your spaces make you think clearer, focus better and be more inspired in your work?

Here’s my challenge for you: make just one change in a big unusual way that changes the way you think you should be working in your space. And then tell me about it here.
