I am not sure what has gone into me lately…Either it is the snow outside that makes me only think white, or a burst of energy that has struck me. I wanted the room to be white and airy. A canvas for all my stuff. So I have been painting almost everything I could find. The desk, the drawer, the counter, mirror and some small boxes too. Now I am wondering if I should paint the chandelier white also…?
I have another room with my dollhouses. I will show you that one later. I think I have managed to put up enough pictures here for now. This is where I sit and make my minis and talk to you.
My antique house, and another house that will have a French flair. Oh a lot to do with both!
My drawer that holds my clay and some inspirational things on top. Light and cheerful, dont you think?
Buttons and glitter always come in handy. Maybe not for miniatures but for other craft projects.
Some miniature chairs, flowers and French candle sticks. 
I am very fond of old boxes. My husband found these in our garage with nails in them as he was doing a clean up. Luckily he asked me if I wanted them before he trew them away!!. Of course I did. Can you see the old matches. I was thrilled!!…Sometimes I am easy to please;)
Some more nick nacks I have around. The beautiful card was bought in Florence some years ago. It was a beautiful city by the way.
The frame has chicken wire for displaying some inpsirational things, memories and cards.
More boxes and storage. I don’t think I will ever get enough;)
My Laduree paper decor decorated with some scrap roses. Under glass of course.
This is the side of the room with least interest. I have a lot of storage here. Fabrics, packing materials, miniatures, and lots of papers.
This is also a relatively new found. It used to belong in our basement so I didn't have to go far to find it;) I love the industrial look to it. It has also great storage possibilities.
Now hopefully it will be some time before you see more pictures from this room, but as promised I will soon show some taken from the dollhouse room. Have a nice weekend everybody:)

Now that's what I call a work room. Love the draw units that the Dolls Houses are on. Your very organised Christel, thanks for sharing the pictures with us..xx
It all looks very efficient and organised - the white looks good. I love the script fabric on those mini chairs too!
Ah, so this is where the magic happens! You have a beautiful studio-- it's wonderfully bright, but serene too. I love all your storage cabinets-- especially the one from the basement! Thanks for the peek into your world...
Hugs,

OOOOOOHH I wish I had such a big and lovely place to work on my minuatures in. It's amazing, love the colour, although, I wouldnt paint the chandelier white, i would paint it in the same light green you have on that small piece of furniture at the background, on the right. It would look perfect
Oh Christel, I'm so envious! your workroom is too beautiful! :)

Es impresionante su taller, ya quisiera yo poder disponer de algo asi,
es usted muy amable al enseñarnos su abitacion especial, realmente es una inspiracion.
Thank you. What a lovely bunch of people you all are:)
Though I have to say that I really make a lot of mess when working. Just isn't so fun to take pictures of it;)
Lol my daughter counted the drawers in here, and she came to 133!! Some of them are empty by the way.
Oh, my! This is lovely! And it insures that I will NEVER show pix of my lowly, plain, unfinished basement where I work but it suits my personality which is much like a plain Jane old shoe! LOL! Every detail here is exquisite.
Jody
What a beautiful, elegant room. I love your dollshouses.
Sarah

The dollshouses are glorious, lucky you! Its exactly as id dream of having a workroom if I had the space for one! Kate xx
Så lekkert arbeidsrom du har! Det var noe annet enn de to klesskapene jeg har stuet 7 dukkehus inn i, pluss alt annet dukkehusrelatert jeg har (utrolig at jeg får plass til alt i to skap!) Jeg har en award til deg på bloggen min :-)
I've passed you a Kreativ Blogger Award. You can collect it from my Hambleton Hall blog http://hambletonhall.blogspot.com/)Irene
Nice long blog,i am a bit jelouse of your workroom.
I love everything in there!
I pass the Sunshine Award on to you.
You can pick it up at my blog.
Dear Cristel,
A big clean up is invigorating - not only clears the space but the mind. Leave the chandelier black as every white room needs black!
Thanks for sharing your light-filled space. I can imagine many mini workshops being painted and reorganized as I write.
regards Janine minworks.blogspot.com
Hi Christel
I have a little award for you on my blog :))
Alicia
I wish my place would look like yours, perfect fot pictures in a decoration magazine!!!
But I know this is never gonna happen, as I work everywhere in the house, following the seasons, and the need of the momment!!
It looks wonderful!!!
Christel, this is exquisite to see your workspace! My attempts pale in comparison! Anita
Oh Christel,
Thank you for visiting my silly little blog! I am not a miniature artist like you, but I so love this world. Your work is so magnificent and I just saw your crêpes on the previous post! I am a full-time teacher who barely cranks out blog entries on the weekends. I draw and play the harp as well. So glad to have run into your wonderful space here.
Have a fabulous Sunday! Anita
What a gorgeous gorgeous work room. I just love it, especially amongst those beautiful doll houses. That last drawer unit looks wonderful.

Hi there,
I have an award for you in my blog :)
Christel - your studio is an inspiration in itself! My room is much the same shape and size, but does not look like this...if it was this nice, my husband would never see me he says...hmmm, that might be o.k. he thinks. I'll get to work on that.
Cynthia
I am totally smitten with your lovely room!

Hi Christel,
Oh I died when I saw what you have done with your work room. It is beautiful and so big. I love the white. It feels full of energy. I love those little french chairs and how you add special little feminine touches around the room. I dream of having a room like this one day.
Hugs,
Carey
Christel: you really have a dreamed workplace! Mine looks terrible, LOL!
Anyhow, you know how much I admire your work, and since I learnt how to deal with blogs (my wife was the one who did our blog in 2008), I wanted to become your follower to express the admiration I have for you. Now I can see all you post!
