You may already know our next home tour guest, Katie Stratton, from her blog Katie's Pencil Box. She is here today to share her lovely loft space with us!
"A favorite spot in our little house is my loft. It's the perfect space to
just sit and be still—to read or craft or get inspired. It's also the
first place my 8-year-old son Max and his friends want to go.
It's kind of a club house or fort for all of us!"
"We kept the original floorboards from the attic space that makes up the loft. I love that they are all mismatched and worn."
"I loved to climb trees and read books in them when i was a little girl.
That was the inspiration for the space, a place to climb up in and get
away for a bit."
"Making the most of a tiny space, just a couple of chairs and an end table make the room functional. "
"Like the rest of the house, the loft is still a work in progress. I have
big dreams of adding rooftop windows or skylights some day."
Thank you for sharing this lovely space, Katie! Be sure to stop by Katie's Pencil Box to see more peeks of her beautiful home!

Could Katie pop round to my place and tidy it please? I love the combination of minimalistic yet homely and lived in/ Our place just feels like an on-going project at the minute- not in a fun way (think rain water coming in walls, boiler making scary rumbles etc).Rx

I love all of the white! This looks like a great room to be inspired.
Isn’t That Charming.
What a beautiful space! It would be so nice to have a retreat like that where you can get creative or read.
Katies home is absolutely gorgeous, I love the little peeks you get of it through her photography.
As someone who often find white spaces to be sparse, unhospitable and severe, I am always impressed by how Katie’s home feels warm, large, airy and inviting.
But I won’t lie, the black wall in her living room is still my favourite!

A lovely spot for a lovely person to hang out. Katie’s Pencil Box is a real favourite. She makes her life, even the crumbier parts, seem so wonderful!
Beautiful post! I love Katie’s blog! Dayton pride!
It looks like such a cosy place where you can sneak away to. So lovely and the floorboards look absolutely amazing.

I love this space! Katie’s got it all figured out.
LOVE it!
Lovely. I would love to have a little space like this. I absolutely adore those fluffy white rugs. I’m inspired to do another room in my house with a similar design style.
Thats adorable! I always wanted a house with a loft space, or a hidden area just to relax in.

I love the ladder to this wonderful, calming space! I wouldn’t want to leave, once I climbed up. Just send up snacks and tea once and a while please…
Wooo the little bowl of stamps…so simple and sweet. I always feel so guilty throwing out beautiful stamps…so definitely using this idea. Thanks!
I am totally in love with this space! So cozy and inspiring!
such a beautiful space with great lighting!
Well, I looked at Michelle’s lovely jewelery and I had a hard time choosing just one favourite. Did I go with something personal like the bird on the ring (sterling) like a bird on my shoulder. I loved the umbrella necklace so I’d be prepared for any occasion. The two branches are just so spectacular!!!
In the end, I settled on the skeleton key because I teach children with special needs and I call my little school the Magic Backyard. The meaning of the Magic Backyard is a place where all the stories from all the world live. Occassionally the kids will ask me if there is a key to the imaginary gate. Wouldn’t it be great to wear one around my neck! Perfect!

Love the reclaimed wood floors + the white furniture!! 🙂
It looks so peaceful, clean, and yet sweet. I really like the white with pops of color and the fur!
Ohmygosh, this is so beautiful! I love the mostly white with little pops of color, looks so peaceful and inspiring!

I love the white walls! I want to get white walls when I move into my own home because you get to play with color and I love me some color!
This space is so beautiful! I love the white theme
I love the white atmosphere with pops of pattern and colors for inspiration, it looks comfortable and so inspiring! Thanks for sharing this!
