Hatty's Home Tour: Guest Room and Studio

My second bedroom also doubles up as my studio, so as well as being a comfortable place for guests to sleep it mostly needs to have plenty of storage space and be practical for me to sew, create, paint and work. 

My dad made this ace corner desk that makes the most of the space available for a desk, it means I can have my sewing machine set up and laptop and printer set up at the same time. it also creates more storage space under the desk which is covered up with the curtains. 

The ikea kitchen wall cabinets and tall boy also creates more storage and the shelving was a really ugly cheap cabinet with the glass missing that I picked up for pennies, I think the lick of paint makes a prefect display for my camera collection. 

The day bed was my old bed but I would prefer a double bed in here so couples can stay a little more comfortably. For space reasons a standard double would take up too much of the room, however a fold down wall bed would be amazing, I keep checking eBay for one in my area, but I might start making plans for a way to make one myself (with help from dad, of course).

I got the curtains from a retro shop in Leeds and took them up to fit the window and with the left over fabric I'm going to cover an office chair to match.

I also made the duvet cover out of some retro double flat sheets I picked up at a car boot fair, I love the mix matched 1970s prints, and the orange and mustard yellow colour story is warm and bright making it a lovely space to work and create in. 

I love the 1970s children prints that I picked up in a charity shop and keep my eyes peeled everywhere I go for some more, I'd like a gallery wall of 1970s prints on this wall.
