step in to my…
Truth be told, I never made this room in to the creative retreat I envisioned. Instead, it became a nice little guest bedroom for my nephew last summer. He has since moved on, and the room is still a nice little guest bedroom.
It clicked in my head a few weeks ago what I needed to do to finally carve out my creative retreat. I purged closets, shuffled furniture around, hung some curtains, and wouldn’t you know it, I’m already making stuff in my… what shall we call it… office?
No, not office. Craft room? The word “craft” makes me itchy with flashes of corn husk dolls and hot glue guns. “Studio” feels too artsy fartsy. I’m grasping for a legitimate name, you know, to justify the time and money I spend doing these things that make me happy. I like “work room”. It’s what Tim Gunn would call it. Plus, I like the ring of his voice in my head. Let’s try this on for a while and see if it sticks.
I can always use my fallback: play room, which let’s be honest, it’s all I do in there.
