In a recent post I shared with you my enthusiasm in finding this desk, painting it a chippy milk paint white. I love all the deep drawer space, but have an inkling that I am going fill them and promptly forget what is hidden within! Sound familiar?
I had my eye on these metal labels, thinking that they might work with my wood drawer pulls. That was another reason lurking in the back of my mind for salvaging the original drawer handles.
They have a self sticking back. However I am going to find some tiny nails to make them more permanent. This was just the label that came with the package. I will rubber stamp my own labels for each drawer.
They look just as I imagined, giving my desk an über cool feel. I am going to be so organized! Makes me want to just sit here and stare at my play space.
I always have to gear myself up to get organized and break myself away from the more fun creative stuff. But once I get in the mood to nest, my space starts to become more inspiring.
I encourage you to tackle at least a small corner of your art space. Even if it is to clear a table and put a lovely bunch of flowers on it!
Have a creative day ~ Karen
your labels are fabulous! thank you for inspiring me to do a bit of organizing today!

I just reorganized my studio with a better flow. Hard to do when there are lots of windows and four doors. Love the labels on your desk!

Nesting is so important in the creativity equation. When I work, I have “stuff” scattered all over but before I can move onto another project, I must get myself back to ground zero before I start. It’s like clearing the air (and my head) and it opens me up to new ideas and creativity. And it is funny, when I get my studio totally organized, I have to keep going in and looking at it, marveling at my stuff and all the materials I have to work with. Yes, nesting is good!

Like Lori, I too have to “clear the air” before venturing on to another project. My space is smaller then yours (much) but it truly is my farvoite spot to come. It’s indeed inspiriting to see your studio …. so many ideas shared with your readers in blog land … thank you!

Is your studio a separate building, or a space attached to your house?
