Headquater Dreams

One of my favourite pastimes is to go on Pinterest and look up other studios workspaces. With stock constantly coming and going, I find myself moving items around our studio on a regular basis. Our current studio is a fantastic room attached to our home with vaulted ceilings and wall to wall shelving against the back wall. There is a large worktable in the middle of the room with drawers underneath housing all our gift wrap. Against the other far wall is a high desk where copious amounts of paper are stacked up and the big Mac sits high and proud. 

The dream one day is to move the studio into another building on our property. This new space would be big enough to house a small meeting area and a few more desks. It's so great to be able to have other peoples fantastic images to gain inspiration from on a regular basis.

Here are some of my favourite finds via Pinterest for office inspiration. Enjoy.
