    Bianca’s design sense is also very good. Her condo was furnished really nicely. Very pretty and now she has another pretty space to work.

    She can even add a picture to the Murphy desk “leg” so when it’s up it’s a cute cabinet with a picture on it. And when it’s open it’s cool artwork on the side of the desk.

      Yes! What if it was a gallery nook ? So when the desk is folded up it looks like it's just another frame so it almost just disappears when you want to switch off and not think about work. 💫

    It would’ve been nicer to put the extra items in a storage ottoman instead of a basket. That way she has somewhere to put her feet up when she reads

    • @mapsman5513
      @mapsman5513 4 роки тому +13

      Exactly what I was thinking! Much better than the basket, too, because it would be covered and usable as another horizontal surface when she is working at the desk.

  • @NoeliaCardarelli
    @NoeliaCardarelli 4 роки тому +54

    Looks great but the one thing that is missing is lightning. For a craft like embroidery (not crochet like you called it) that so detailed you need really good lighting, specially in a corner like that, that's away from natural light.

    • @anisnissa
      @anisnissa 4 роки тому +7

      Came here to say the same. I do handsewing and embroidery myself, and dealing with lighting is so difficult. And so important. And now this girl gets a nice looking nook without any light. And a nice table where she sits with her back to the room lights.

    I think there could also be a light of some sort, as crafts and reading both need proper lighting and sitting towards the wall, you’re likely to cast your own shadow on your work.

    Suggestions: The cute storage bag where the iron and other random items were tossed, that could be a waste bin. If she decides to use the bag as it is, install a hook on the wall to get it up off the floor. Easy clean up. The other items tossed in the bag... yarn and sewing material box.. go vertical: a corner wall mount shelf above the peg board is a great place to store these items. Place the yarn in a white plastic basket/bin. Store both the sewing box and yarn bin on the shelf. The iron could actually go up there too. OR the iron could be placed on a hook/storage with the ironing board and mounted behind the door.
