Camp Creek Blog

We are in the midst of a seasonal move from the greenhouse, which is cool and breezy in the warm months, to the loft, which is warm and cozy in the cold months.

I am realizing for the first time that I don't really need to duplicate things I have in these two spaces, since I really use them at polar ends of the year. I can just move things back and forth instead.

The boys are commenting on how warm and comfortable the loft is, and they are rising up the stairs along with the heat to share the space with me.

The boys want a new project area with a "big" table and two "big, comfortable" chairs. They don't like to stand while they work; they are really lazy. Like their mother.

So we are moving everything around. Am I the only person who has a fall-cleaning mode rather than a spring-cleaning one?

I spent some time going through my books and magazines for inspiration (the most important part of any project) and then I flicked through this flickr group. Some cool stuff there.

I really want this chair, but you know I want to find a twenty-dollar rip-off version.

Finally, I just browsed on flickr for "cozy", "family room", "living room", etc. Inspiration galore. Now I just have to get out of my chair and start working.
