Shop: The Sweetest Memory
Owner: Kari
How does your studio reflect your style? My studio, is my dining room. I would love to have a separate room but in our small home that is our free space. It is simple and I try to stay organized. I like the clean lines and organization. But, I confess when I am really busy it gets disorganized quickly.
What is the favorite part of your studio? My favorite part of my studio is my storage cabinet. My cousin left it when she went away to the Airforce Academy and my Aunt didn't need it anymore. It holds everything perfectly and it helps me stay organized. I don't know what I would do without it!
What pieces in your studio inspire you? I am constantly finding new laces and flowers to try with my bridal clutches. Right now, I have on display my vintage lace that I found at a yardsale. It is lovely and delicate.
Do you have any handmade or vintage decor pieces? I have an antique roledex on my cabinet. I bought it at my favorite resale shop to sell on Etsy, and I have decided it is too beautiful to part with. It adds character and even has some faint writing of old phone numbers. I haven't dialed any yet...
What is favorite color palette and how did you implement this in your space? My favorite color pallette in my homes are neutrals - beiges and browns paired with a pop of color in henna red or orange. I also have a little yellow in my home that adds warmth. When my table is actually used as a dining space, you will find a bright orange, textured table runner or a striped tablecloth with my favorite colors to tie in all the colors in my home.
What are the books or magazines that inspire you? I would say real life. I don't have a particular magazine or book that I reference. When I am waiting in line at the grocery store, I will quickly breeze through bridal magazines to see what the latest trend and color scheme is. But, mostly my inspiration comes from brides. Many of my favorite creations were generated by custom requests from brides. I am always so pleased how their ideas help me come up with something I had never thought of before.
What changes/upgrades would you like to make in the future? My own room! I would love and especially my husband, to have my own space where my supplies and workspace weren't always out for everyone to see. There I would be able to add character and more organization. I confess I love organization, I just might not always know how to implement the tools. I have a few storage bins in the garage just waiting for a purpose!

Sometimes dining room studios are some of the best. I've been eyeballing our giant table lately and thinking about how much space I'd have to spread out if I moved my stuff down there!
Also, her handbags are adorable.
Her clutches are so pretty! And I'm jealous of how organized she stays! My room is more like organized chaos :)
Beautiful clutches! Love the look of lace on linen. I'm also envious of the tidy, organized space.
Thank you so much ladies! I have to admit I had to clean up for the photo shoot. I would be embarassed sharing how bad it looked before! It is hard to stay organized while trying to create.
Thanks for the kind comments, and thank you Ali for sharing my space and work with others!
