I finally finished (I think) my new loft and I wanted to share some of the photos. My cottage has an extra room that used to be a garage, but was insulated and restored a few decades ago and now it's an artist's sanctuary with 20 foot ceilings and an enormous skylight. The second I saw it I fell in love. I used to dream about living in a place like this.
The upper loft is where I have stashed my writing desk and a basket for my cat. I painted the ceiling purple with gold and silver stars and there's big moon light and a tree. The main floor has 15' flowers growing toward a big illuminated sunshine. (All I have to say is, I absolutely love the children's section of Ikea.) I feel like a fairy when I'm in here, sitting beneath my leaf umbrella, and it makes me want to create.
The ladder up to the loft.
My weeping fig tree and the skylight, with panoramic views of the Queen Anne mansions above us (I think our house used to be the servants' quarters).
Long view of the loft, with window, and Snowshoe cat.

Giant leaves + giant thistles + giant dragonflies + giant sun + giant skylight = tiny girl.
