My name is Lillie Dignan. I'm a designer and maker, living and working in the Bay Area.
It’s Monday morning, and I’m at my desk listing, reviewing, brainstorming, and getting down to business. A pot of tea with honey and leftover apple muffins from breakfast. I like this quiet time, a little music, the midday sun just starting to peak in the windows.
I like this fresh and new workspace, simpler and more compact–but then, not so different from my workspace in LA. Really, not entirely different from my desks back in college either. However much I simplify, I seem to continue keeping and carrying a few of the same bits of inspiration and comfort with me wherever I go. These objects/images/texts are re-invented over and over in each new place, and “make sense” to me differently each time. Do you have a permanent collection of inspirations and comforts that make a place “feel like home”?
Cheers to new space, old inspirations, and a whole week ahead!
i love this post chicka! so adorable… i’m a few steps behind you, packing up my old studio, editing my ridiculous amount of possessions and anxiously awaiting starting fresh in my new place. but in taking stuff off my walls i noticed exactly this idea of my “perm collection.” there are a few photos, postcards etc… that have travelled from brentwood to boston to new york to london and back to los angeles again and i always feel more as ease in my new living conditions once they are up on the wall.
anyway, lovies!!
p.s. might need to steal your idea of using that clementine box as a desk organizer… looks ah-mazing!
still my favorite home designer!
