Decorating Gypsy style

Hi Gypsy Girl Blog fans! Sande Krieger here. While Paula is down where the world is enjoying springtime I am looking out my window and seeing gorgeous yellow & red leaves fluttering by in the wind. My studio is painted Jack-O-Lantern orange. I enjoy the energy that comes from working inside a pumpkin-colored room but I admit that I'm ready for a change in my studio - maybe an entire color change. For now, I started by redoing one wall in a collage of printer drawers and frames that are all screwed or glued together - courtesy of Miss Paula & her handy husband, Jay. It hangs on the wall above an antique dentist desk. It's filled with pictures, ephemera & doo-dads.
 The scissors, rooster & tailor cards are ones I picked up at the Paris flea market. The little girl on the horse is the earliest photo that I have of myself.
 The "GO" letters are from menu boards. They are made out of ceramic. Love this particular font.
 I have picked up little watch vials and vintage red cross buttons off of various Etsy sites. They are perfect for filling those little spaces.
 This flag is a hand sew quilted piece that Allison Kimball made me for my birthday one year.

    Love the different trays together - like a big puzzle. Love the orange walls too!

    What a wonderful and interesting arrangement of "stuff"!! And it looks perfect against the orange walls and above the antique desk. Thanks for sharing.

    Sande, Thanks for showing us your wonderful wall and desk. I can't wait to hear what color you choose if you do decide to change from pumpkin!
