How does your studio reflect your style?
My studio is all me! it’s the one room in the house that totally reflects me. I have stuffed it full of everything I love.
My style is vintage, nature museum, meets glitter and lace. In it you will find everything from found bird nest to spools of lace.
What is the favorite part of your studio?
I really love my table. My husband and I made it together out of salvaged cabinets and a drafting table. I covered the top with antique dictionary pages. I love that its homemade by us both.
What pieces in your studio inspire you?
My inspiration board.
I have a little shelf under my inspiration board that I made from salvaged wood trim from my parents farm house. I hang pieces of art I’m working on or little bits of things that are inspiring me at the moment.
Do you have any handmade or vintage decor pieces?I think most of everything is handmade or vintage!
I have some really great vintage white frames I found for .25 cents at a flea market. I collect antique button cards and display them in one. The frames always seem to be visitors favorites. I also have Millie my vintage mannequin. She makes a great studio mascot.
What is favorite color palette and how did you implement this in your space?
My favorite color is aqua. I love aqua, cream, and a little pink together. My walls are aqua. Aqua is also supposed to create a creative mood.
The furniture in my studio is cream. I like to add vintage millinery, lace, and ribbons in pink for a girly feel. I use jars to store many of my supplies so I can see all the pretty things I have collected.
What is the one tool used in your creation process you treasure the most?
I can’t pick just one! I use and love all of Tim Holtz’s tools and inks. I couldn’t live without them.
What are the books or magazines that inspire you?I love Somerset Life, Better Home And Gardens magazines and the book Art Making Collections & Obsessions.
What changes/upgrades would you like to make in the future?
I would love to add a chandelier above my table and change the outside door to a French door.

What a beautiful creative space. I'd love to have it in my home.
Brandy's Designs are fast becoming a favorite for me. I obtained a beautiful Thanksgiving banner from her shop last year and recently returned for my Halloween decor and party paper products. Great feature and interview!
Your studio reflects your love of color and creativity....Wonderful!
