PEEK with Jesica Rose

Hello! Jessica here from vol.25. I was flattered when Kristi asked me to contribute to "Peek." Because who doesnt like to be a little nosy? :)

Here is a little bio: I am an artist selling my art on etsy, I also blog quite frequently here. I'm a stay at home mother to two little girls. 17 months and 5 years old. I married my husband 6 years ago, after only 3 weeks of dating, and 3 months of being officially engaged. He is a huge inspiration to me, and is full of ideas... although I admit sometimes he has a few too many. ;)


We live in a 900 sq. ft home, that was built in 1892. I love the character of our house, but would really appreciate having something bigger. You'll see what I mean when I show you this picture:


See what I mean? This is my studio/crafting corner, a spot in our kitchen that I have claimed as my own. I've been day dreaming of having an official art room for as long as I can remember. Way before I ever got married and had a house of my own. :) Due to my space issue, I have to be suuper creative in making the best use of my space. I love ikea, and I have to say, they have made it affordable for me to think outside of the box. When your short on space, its always a good idea to think vertical. I have the added bonus of having super high ceilings.


The bookcase is called the billy bookcase from ikea and it is pretty narrow, which allows for a non crowded walkway where its needed. I bought the doors to go on the bookcase, and it was more then worth the money. Here is a "PEEK" inside the doors!


This older picture shows just how much stuff I have managed to fit inside. Inventory for the shop, paint, art supplies, paper, etc. etc. Lots of stuff. Without the doors my kitchen would look like it was in constant need of some tidying up. Now I can keep it all behind closed doors. Without a PEEK, they'll never know! ;)


Well, I hope everyone has enjoyed your peek at my craft studio. Maybe in a few months I'll be able to return with a PEEK at a new craft room/studio. :) Thanks Kristi for having me!

Thanks so much Jessica!  Jessica is in the midst of showing her home and I so appreciate her take time out of her busy schedule to do this PEEK.  You're awesome!

I stumbled onto Jessica's blog just a short while ago and fell in LOVE with her art and her style of decor.  You MUST stop by her blog.  You will love it.  I'm having such a hard time deciding what I want to buy from her shop!  Share some comment love to Jessica.  Doesn't this just make you feel like you can have a creative spot no matter how limited you feel your space is?  I love how she made this space her own in her kitchen.  It's perfect!
