The Atelier (Art Studio) Continued…
I told you there was more! {For those just popping in, the first post is below}
And here it is {well some…if you can believe it…there is still more…guess I have a lot of stuff?} This is the back wall of the studio…it consists of three long shelves…filled to the brim…
You will find loads of vintage treasures…and I have an always growing collection of old baby items…
Found this silver “Russell” baby cup a couple of weeks ago at the flea market…
French painters…my favorite…and always my inspiration…
You will find many of my grandmother Kay’s art supplies in here {like all of the painting palettes and the scent jars below}…I have been blessed to receive them from my grandparents. I actually have her art desk and easel stored away for when we get a “real” studio {and by that I mean in a home that we own…and hopefully a large attic? …sigh…a girl can dream…}
Grandma’s “Liquid Pearl”…
Godey prints can be found all throughout the room…
The altered bottle below was a birthday gift created by my sister, Angela. One of the best gifts that I have ever received…
Old cigar boxes…
And I call her “Mademoiselle Vogue”…she is currently adorned with my favorite vintage hat…and a pretty beaded collar…
I love antique doll heads…this is a favorite…
Lots of old bottles…everywhere…
and more of Grandma’s supplies…
A recent find from the flea market…the California Rose Balm bottle…
Seam binding…millinery flowers…and more trinkets and treasures…
Beautiful…
My grandmother’s name badge…
And who doesn’t love pretty wallpaper?
My absolute favorites…
Bin of lace and trim…
An old birdcage hangs in the corner {above the TV…no photos of that 😉 but yes…I do watch TV in here}
Random shots around the room…an old sewing basket filled with ribbon…
Vintage sewing treasures stored in boxes and tins…
A hanging basket…
Pretty blues…
A beautiful old purse {also just found at the flea market}…
Anne of Avonlea…a favorite book growing up…and vintage spice jars with painted tops…
And finally…the pièce de résistance…Grandma’s beloved paint box…my absolute favorite.
If there is interest in seeing more…or full room shots…do let me know. Otherwise I can move on to other posts if you are getting bored 😉 I want to share what you want to see here! I do hope you have enjoyed the tour and if you missed the first post be sure to see the one below…
Till next time…

Dear Alice,
I must begin by saying I would love to see more close ups, and full room shots! We could not get bored by anything you share! You photograph beautifully and have so many wonderful and treasured things to share. So much inspiration and beauty to receive and see! I love those shelves filled with all those pretty things. How wonderful that you have found so many lovely things at flea markets and have them displayed so beautifully, it is wonderful to have all of those pretties out in full view, so that you can enjoy seeing them everyday! I love that you have so many of your dear Grandmother Kay’s things. Her paint box is gorgeous, and I am sure you inherited some of your artistic talents from her, and the Lord has blessed you with so many talents as well!
I love all of your pretty vintage things. The baby things are so sweet! I have a few vintage baby dresses displayed on my walls and a shelf. They put a smile on your face, don’t they? The Godey prints are beautiful and I love the altered bottle your sister made for you. Your favorite doll head is so sweet and the vintage bottles are, too. You have such an amazing collection, I love everything! The wallpaper is so pretty. You have all of your things organized so beautifully. I love how you put things in the hanging basket. Oh, that old purse is a wonderful find. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful things. I enjoyed the tour so very much and keep looking over all of your beautiful photos!
Love and blessings sweet friend,
Paula

Wow. Everything is beautiful. I love it all. And how cool that you have your grandmother’s old art supplies.

Andrea Villarreal
Are you kidding? I love your space it is beyond gorgeous. It makes mine look so generic and plain. You have such lovely things of course I’d love to see more:)
Karen Valentine
I need to pick my jaw up off the floor before I continue…. okay, all set. As I sit here trying to find the words to express to you how I feel about your space, I wonder if you ever get tired of hearing the same old thing. Surely you don’t but i must think that I couldn’t possibly say anything you haven’t already heard. If I could magically transform my studio to be anything I wanted it to be… it would be exactly, EXACTLY you room. It must have taken you years to collect all those wonderful things. You are very lucky to live in a place where all those wonderful things are available. I’m just sitting here shaking my head, because the words are just not coming. It’s so beautiful
I am speechless. (You can’t tell can you! )
Thank you so much for coming to my party. You’ve really helped make it a wonderful success!

You have a beautiful studio, Alice. I love all your vintage touches. Share more in the future. I love perusing your little nooks and crannies.
Julie Marie Vicknair
I must say I agree with all of the comments above, and I too look forward to seeing more of your atelier (I love that you use the French word for it too!) I really need to sit all day with a cup of tea (or two) to take it in all… everything you touch turns into something magical and I am so happy you own many of your grandparents treasures, those are the very best. I could never decide which is my favorite photo, they are all breathtaking! I cannot wait to see more sweet Alice. (Hello Renoir!)

Absolutely love the paint box! How precious is that. Your studio is heaven, I enjoyed every inch of it.

I toured all of the studios and yours is definitely my favorite of them. I have been a read for quite some time and love coming here.
Just another note – that vintage purse is an exact match to the upholstry fabric on my late 1940’s daybed. we inherited it less the top matterss from my hubby’s grandmother – Love that.
Tawney--A Chichi Life
I’m so glad you posted pictures of your work space. The decorations are so sweet and lovely! I always like seeing your decor and finds, but I’m particularly fond of your atelier. More photos would be great!
-Tawney
PS: Since I always find your photos inspirational, I’ve added you on my list of Chichi Blogs. Hope you can stop by and take a look.
Debbi Howard
Wow, so many wonderful things! (How do you dust?????? Please, I really want to know!)
There is a shop here in Chickamauga called “La Frou Frou” that sells a lot of things like you show. Well, that’s not right. You have so many unusual things, so they don’t sell things LIKE yours, but it’s a similar type shop.
Jeanne
I think I have died and gone straight to heaven after looking through these wonderful photos of your studio. This is truly an amazing place. I simply adore peeking into other people’s creative spaces and I believe that this post is better than any I have every seen. I’d love to see more room shots – and close ups. Really anything you want to share with us is most appreciated. Thank you so much!

I’m overwhelmed by the beauty of your pictures, and blog overall. Wow!! I’m adding you to my favorites. I’m off to see your studio. 🙂
Ali at Betty & Violet
Alice, you are truly a girl after my own heart! I dream (far too much daydreaming goes on in my head!) of having a studio like this, but maybe I wouldn’t actually get anything made for spending too much time just looking at and sorting through such loveliness!
Your room needs to be featured in ‘Where Women Create’ ~ one of my favourite mags…
You have such amazing taste and your styling is just beautiful. LOVE IT ALL!

Julie GM
Wow! Amazing & beautiful. I love it all. I found your blog via Etsy. =) I’ve added your blog to my faves.
Adorn Me Jewlery
I have one comment and one question: Your studio is so cozily, comfortingly, nostalgically beautiful! I’d love to look at that every day. Magnificent job decorating it.
How long does it take to dust all of that? :c)
Tina
jenn
oh my goodness… so many lovely goodies!!!
Debra
Alice I love your blog and your shop I would also love to see more pictures.
Angela Harris
Everything is ridiculously beautiful!
I was so excited to see my crown tags in some of your photos~!
Debra
Wow you’ve got lots of neat stuff. I could have a ball just going through your stuff. You have plenty of things to be inspired and create with.
Suze
Looks lovely, and I, too, would love to see more general shots of the room.
However, I must say that I keep on wondering: how do you keep everything free of dust (so that it doesn’t start to accumulate in inches of layers..)? 🙂
Dust or no dust on those dozens of lovely items, I still think it looks dreamy; you have a good eye.
Keep up the pretty work, I’ll be happy to return to your blog now that I found it!
Debra
Alice I always just love looking at all of your stuff. Everything is always so interesting. You have a beautiful space with lots and lots of beautiful things to create with.
