Ideas For DIY
It’s something we all dream of but what if we actually made it a reality? Ella Claire DID! This is her post all about her amazing project the “She Shed”. I am always dreaming of a she shed, except mine is actually a converted vintage caravan. I have no way of getting it in to my back yard though unless I use a crane. I am guessing a crane means $$. Besides the kids will still find me.
I just bought this floral desk pad for my craft workspace, and I honestly can’t stop staring at it—it’s that pretty. I was long overdue for an upgrade. I’d been using one of those standard green self-healing mats from the craft store forever. While they do the job, let’s be real—they’re not exactly inspiring. I found myself feeling a bit “meh” every time I sat down to work, and as someone who lives for colour, texture, and creative energy, that just wasn’t cutting it anymore so I went on an Amazon search.
Enter this gorgeous floral desk pad. From the moment I unrolled it, I was in love. The design is soft and feminine without being too busy—just a lovely, calming mix of vintage florals that fits right in with my “current” creative vibe. Let’s be fair, I may be on a different vibe next month.
It adds a splash of personality to my workspace, and it honestly makes me want to sit down and create. That little shift in mood? Totally worth it.
Functionally, it’s spot on. The surface is smooth and easy to work on—perfect for my laptop, sketching, journaling, or even placing my cutting tools when I’m working on papercrafts. The anti-slip base keeps everything in place, even when I’m sliding papers or tools around. It’s generously sized, too, which means I don’t feel cramped while I work. It is not a self-healing mat, so for that you will need something else.
If you’re like me and your desk is not just a workspace but your creative sanctuary, this pad is such a beautiful upgrade. It’s the kind of little detail that sparks joy every single time I walk into my studio. Whether you’re crafting, journaling, designing, or even just using it as a stylish mousepad, I couldn’t recommend it more. This one’s a keeper!
That’s a nice concept and truly unique too. I like the way the paving stones delicately walk up to the front entrance and the use of white to grace its inner look. Very commendable!
This is so incredible, it looks like your own personal cabana!
