my work space

my loft room looking out onto the nature reserve and mountains in this gingerbread cottage of a house.

my neighbour

the forest fauna looked on...

my neighbour came over with her child and i showed her some things i am working on in my bedroom/workspace. her gorgeous son taig looked so photogenic as he played and i couldn't resist taking some pics of him. my loft room is so huge that i've long been planning to install a rustic slipper bath, to add the perfect lounge suite and even a kitchenette.....i think the bath is first on the list. there's still so much to be done, but i've made use of some charity store finds to give it some personality in the mean time...since owning a shop i have not been able to keep ONE thing, one cup or anything for myself and have been living in a bare house, it is weird, i don't think many other shop owners go through it, although i know some designers who do!
