A New Un-Named Space!

Over the last two days I have been setting up my new art room. I'm not certain that that is what I am definitely going to call it, 'art room', or whether it's going to be 'craft room', 'relax room' ... whatever! All I do know is that I have this absurd compulsion to name things, and this room is no exception.

How getting my own room came about is a very long story that I won't bore you with. I'm just happy to have one, and I'm really excited to be using it through the year!


I have op-shopped pottery over the years, as it's normally so cheap, and all hand made too. I like having my most frequently used items within easy reach, and these pottery jars are perfect for keeping them out, yet organised.


This long table is predominantly for my sewing (which I am still definitely a beginner with!) and so it also has my sewing box and basket (with crotchet and embroidery work in it) close by.


I added my favourite books to my shelf and some pottery that was my late Nana's. 


The white chest of drawers is where I put my Quite Time Basket so I can grab it when I'm relaxing on the lounge.


You all know I love comfort. So this room has crotchet blankets, cushions, candles, and lamp light. And yes, that is a hat box turned into a little kitten bed for Aslan, he needs a comfy spot too!


My walls are decorated with op-shop art, so each piece cost no more than $10. The pink and purple flowers in the vase painting was also my late Nana's artwork that I remember hanging up in her home. It's extra special.


Last night I spent time in here praying, adding to my bullet journal, reading and relaxing. It was such a nice way to end a long day.

Do you have any suggestions for names? It has to be named something, and I need your help! Thanks everyone!

  1. How about: A Place to Be Me! or My cozy space ??
    I also moved a little furniture around w/ my husband's help - this holiday - so refreshing! I have a lovely green chair for my Quiet Time and basket of good reads to draw me closer to my Savior. Next to you at Strangers and Pilgrims. sue@welcomeheart

  4. How about Elisha's special room! Or if you don't want to be so personal you can call it the ladies lounge. I love the yellow on the walls, makes it pop!!

  5. I love the space you've created. I'm just not seeing any relation to our Loft topic of the week, One Word or Scripture for 2016. We'd love to see a post on the topic :)

  8. Dear Elisha,

    Thanks for sharing your lovely new room at The Book Nook at Create With Joy! I name my creative spaces too so I know you'll come up with the perfect name for your space (and you'll have to stop back and share with us what you name it!) Your room is SO cozy and inviting!

    By the way I love your Bullet Journal too! :-)
