Kate over at Centsational Girl has asked the question – Where do you blog?
If you have been following me for some time- then you have seen the room which I call my studioffice. It is where I spend 80% of my blogging and creating time, although my hubby would beg to differ as I am sure he sees I have stuff over the entire house. Sometimes though – when the studioffice gets to be big mess, I move out to my kitchen table. There is a big sunny window and lots of light and right now since I am still pretty wiped out from being in the hospital I can lay down on the banquette. I have fallen asleep here twice since I have been home. I also sit here when I come home from work every afternoon. I need to be in the kitchen to get dinner started and keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn. I go through my reader and catch up on every one’s post and do my blogging admin work. After dinner I usually move into my studioffice to get the creative work done.
Blogging at my kitchen table
I wrote about how this banquette was constructed, here.
When I am not cooking or falling asleep every hour – this is where I blog 80% of the time.
My desk in my studioffice that I wrote about - here
I grew up sharing a bedroom with my two sisters. When my hubby and I bought our first house, my main goal when decorating was to create a space for me - a creative spot, a hideaway, a space I could finally call of my own. I had read and loved this book, A Room Of Her Own, by Chris Casson Madden. It was very inspiring. I think I memorized every page, but it helped me accomplish what I had been yearning for – to set aside a space in my house where I could create and call my own. The book is out of print now, but you can still find it at used book sellers.
If you want to see lots of great creative ideas for creating your own “creative or blogging” space, check out Centsational Girl’s link up, here. I am sure you will be inspired by all the personal and creative touches everyone puts into their space to call the space their own.
My best- Diane

I’m glad you are home and feeling better. Take your time recuperating. La
Hi Diane-
Sounds like you are feeling a lot better. I am glad that you claimed a spot as your own…but I really like the kitchen table blog spot best! Continued prayers for your recovery! Diana
I love your bench area in your kitchen. And your desk is to die for! I love the cubbies in it.
Visiting from the party. :)
Lovely! I have to blog in bright sunlight too….my desk is in the room with the southern facing big window. Gets me thru the winters :)
Love that wrap around bench! This Chris Madden book is one of my favorites…I remember pouring over it at the library…wish I had a copy!
Hi Julie-
I read a ton of decorating books, but this one to me is a classic – one that I just can’t seem to part with. I hope you can find a copy – maybe at a local library?
My best- Diane
