Favorite Room Feature: Holtwood Hipster

I am incredibly jazzed for today's FRF guest. Jazzed. Erin from Holtwood Hipster is sharing her in home studio with us. The space is full of life, inspiration and glamour. Let me tell you. This space would inspire me to get down to business. It just might inspire me to learn how to sew. A girl can dream, loves. Erin is hip and stylish in every way and I know you will agree. Take it away Erin!

What an honor to be featured today on Sadie + Stella. My name is Erin and I blog over at Holtwood Hipster. Today I'm finally sharing the room I'm most excited about - my in-home studio. While my blog posts have touched on individual aspects and projects throughout my home, I've never shared a room in its entirety. So it feels particularly good to pull the curtain back and share the reveal with you all today on one of my favorite daily reads.
My husband and I have been renovating our 1967 ranch-style home inside and out for nearly two years now. As we started to renovate, this room was the first to be addressed. I home office and really needed to create an inspiring workspace, as this is where the majority of my day is spent. I set out to create a multi-functional space, anchored by my signature black and white color scheme and have continued to fill it with things I truly love- many of which I handmade.

When I'm not working on my day job, I'm creating. I really think of this area as my design lab of sorts. It's probably the most finished space in the house, but truth be told, its face is ever evolving. The artwork has been swapped out several times as have the window panels. Case in point- these striped little numbers  I recently whipped up from remnant fabric used at one of our summer house parties.
They say to fill a space with what you love.  Well, accessories have often started here in my favorite room only to be moved elsewhere in our home. I'm currently loving the objects in this vignette, styled up with beloved flea market finds. I scored that brass bar cart and the mid-century style horse art in a single trip to the Long Beach Flea Market. The North African inspired painting with its saturated color palette and original round frame was also sourced from the flea and is one of my most treasured pieces in our home.
Prone to have several projects going at once, this space allows me to house and organize all of my supplies in one place- something I had not had prior to moving into our home. I recently outfitted what had once been intended as a large closet and created this project nook. The glossy black pegboard system and brass toned hooks were up cycled from materials left in our garage by the previous owners.  We're still looking to power it with overhead lighting, but an extension cord is working just fine for the time being. I honestly couldn't be happier than while sewing up some new creation in my little nook.
Some more treasured objects in my favorite room. I originally painted this large scale piece of art for our living room, but found it worked better in the studio. I spotted this DIY coral lighting fixture during blog-land perusing one day and decided to whip up a similar one for my own space as well. While I love it in its current incarnation, I'm slowly moving towards a larger scale evolution of this piece, with black branching and bigger, clear bulbs. The shelving in the project nook was created by pairing high grade African Mahogany boards with inexpensive IKEA brackets sprayed gold to mimic my beloved brass. 

How 'bout a few wide shots of my favorite room so you can see how these details come together? The light and breeze coming through the front facing windows helps me feel productive all day long. As I sit here working, I especially love how the warm grey paint on the wall changes color throughout the day. 

A big thank you to Lindsay for hosting me here today for my big reveal! I'm ever so grateful and it's been the most fun sharing my favorite room with you all today.

    لا يتغير طعم الماء أبداً عند استخدام عزل الخزان لأن تغيير طعم الماء يأتي من تراكم الأوساخ عليها، ولذلك مع عزل الخزانات سوف نضمن طعم ماء جيد ونظيف لأنه سيمحو كل هذه الأوساخ والتراكمات .
    عدم تعرض الماء للتلوث لأنه الخزانات قد تكون من المعادن التي وارد جداً أن تتفاعل مع الماء وبالتالي تلك التفاعلات سوف تؤثر علي صحة الإنسان بإصابته بالعديد من الأمراض.
    وسوف تلوث الماء بالملوثات الشديدة وقد تكون المميتة ولكن عندما يتم عزل الخزانات سوف نضمن عدم تلوث الماء أبداً بأي تفاعلات مع المادة المكونة للخزان لأنه ستصبح المادة العازلة عائق بين الخزان والماء الموجودة بداخله.
    يوجد بهذه الشركة المتخصصة إمكانية تنظيف الخزانات بشكل دوري لضمان صحة الماء بها والحفاظ علي جودتها.

  22. تركيب أثاث ايكيا بالرياض
    شركة نقل اثاث بالرياض
    نقل الأثاث الثقيل ليس بالأمر السهل على الإطلاق ، وحتى أقل من ذلك عندما يتعين عليك تحريكه لأعلى الدرج! سواء كنت تنتقل إلى منزل جديد في طابق أعلى في شقة لا تحتوي على مصعد أو تحتاج إلى نقل بعض الأثاث إلى طابق آخر في المنزل ، فمن المهم استخدام الأسلوب الصحيح للقيام بذلك بأمان. اتخذ بعض الإجراءات لحماية الأثاث ومنزلك ونفسك من التلف والإصابة قبل أن تبدأ في نقل أي شيء. احمل قطعًا كبيرة على الدرج باستخدام مساعد أو استخدم عربة لنقل القطع الثقيلة الصغيرة والمتوسطة الحجم بمفردك بينما يكتشفك شخص ما من الأسفل. استفد من المعدات والتقنيات المتخصصة لتسهيل رفع بعض العناصر ووضعها في مكانها.
