... Here's how it goes:

What a lovely vignette, found here |
Our front room in our four-storey terrace was once a shop on our village high street. I love the idea of returning it to its trading routes. It is large with huge, double windows and a high ceiling. There is a lot of light.
I dream of it becoming my studio. There are shelves (in this dream) along the walls, with boxes of buttons and with fabric bolts arranged in beautiful stacks of colour.
The spools of thread and ribbons rest on their wooden dowels in a rainbow Mexican wave.
There is a large table in the centre where I spread and cut my fabric and patterns.
And a sewing machine table strewn by natural light (I sew in the basement at the moment. There is a window but it is insufficient: sunshine is a elucidating eldorado).

This might work - my room looks just like this |
The window serves as a window into my world, a little like those old paper concertina stages. It is framed by papercrafts, bunting and wares.
It is just a dream. But I am working on making a bit of it a reality. Watch this space!
Ooh this is a beautiful, beautiful dream. Go for it!
