If you haven't stopped by Lorin's book blog, Arch Thinking, I hope you'll make a point to do so and say hello. Lorin's blog combines three of my favorite things: books, art and architecture.
Lorin reviews books, conducts giveaways, speaks up for good causes, and talks about her passions, which is an excellent mix, don't you think? Like I said, if her blog is new to you, please stop by Arch Thinking, sample her posts, and don't forget to say hi!
I have to admit that the first time I saw Lorin's photo of her blogging space, my reaction was "Wow!" That hasn't changed, so it's time for me to Share the Wow. Don't forget that you can click on the photo to view it full size.
While I sometimes blog from my desk at work, or from my husband's desk at home, my favorite place is the red love seat in our house. With my head on one arm and my feet flopped over the other side, I put my laptop in my lap and write. (If you're wondering about the room, our house was originally a brick warehouse that was divided up into lofts. During the day, there are two large skylights that light this room, which has about 17 ft ceilings. It's an amazing place to live.)
Just this one glimpse of your creative space shows that it is indeed an amazing place to live, Lorin. I love the exposed brick, and that loveseat looks very comfy. I've always loved the idea of converting old factories and warehouses into living spaces. So many have huge windows and skylights to flood the interior with light. Tall ceilings, brick, wood... I'd better watch out or I'll start drooling and I forgot to bring in a bib! By the way-- the floor looks great. Is it concrete? I've seen concrete flooring and countertops that I've really liked. Yikes! I'd better shut up or I'll just keep asking questions!
Thanks so much for sharing your creative (and comfortable) space, Lorin. We really appreciate it!
Who will you see next Wednesday on Scene of the Blog? You'll just have to stop by and find out. See you then!
This is a WOW space. Love the brick and the floors. My house tends to be dark, so the thought of the skylights... ahhhhh.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely LOVE the blogging area...I could just picture myself there enjoying the room. And the skylights sound wonderful. Going to check out your blog.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on that wow and would love to see more of her house! It looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys! I love it, too.
ReplyDeleteCathy, yup, the floors are stained concrete downstairs. Other than being a little cold on the toes this time of year, they are great to have.
A brick warehouse? I think red bricks is the most beautiful building material in the world!
ReplyDeleteDorte-- Bricks and adobe are two of my favorite building materials.
ReplyDeleteI love that space! I like that part of the white is "ripped" from the wall to expose the brick! Very nice..and a comfy red (my favorite color) love seat...what more do you need? o right, bookshelves...where are those??!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, Serena! I've got plenty of those. Though no matter how many, its never quite enough. Here are some photos I posted a long while back of some of our shelves:

That's what I do too - blog from my lap in a comfy spot in the family room. I have a nice office space but it is remote - nice for focusing, bad for multi-tasking blogging with family.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the look-in :0)
LOVE the space!! 17' ceiling with natural light - jealous! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the red loveseat. The whole place looks so creative.
ReplyDeleteLorin-- Thanks so much for the link to your shelves!
ReplyDeleteNice room.

Thomscool--You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed the post!
