Un Vero Espress…ione D’Amore by Dr. Wendy T. L. (WTL photos)
So you’d like a studio tour of my creative space, eh? Kind of nervy to ask, don’t you think? Like asking for a VIP pass to Santa’s workshop (hard to obtain, btw).
Well, you know how Samantha bewitches with a twinkle of her nose? I inspire creativity with the flick of my…ladle.
My magical space is filled with natural stone of warm and earthy colors, sparkling glass of contradicting hues, and offset with cool stainless steel.
Books are a must and these are a marvelous blend of snipped magazine articles, random ingredients, and hand written notes from women of various generations and melded families.
There’s a mystical box with buttons and timers. I place things inside and wait while it transforms ordinary goo into sensational delights that smell and taste like heaven.
Stored in cabinets clearly designed for giants, you’ll find the secret to my room’s ability to inspire creativity. Magnificent pieces: Venetian drinking glasses, enameled pots lovingly brought back from the French countryside, spices: Indian, Egyptian, African, Caribbean, all carefully collected during travels.
You’ll find a staggering amount of hot beverage gadgets scattered about. From a monolithic contraption that spits out creamy espresso delights, to a simple device designed to produce the perfect cup of tea. Creativity cannot be inspired without a steaming cup of goodness.
And let’s not forget the giant gurgling machine and its stupendous ability to clean up my terrific mess!
Feel free to take a seat in the big leather chairs surrounding the table. Take in the enticing aromas, soft music, and bask in the heat of my carefully tended fire {hey, it’s been cold in Florida this week!}.
You may dance with the broom…as I often do. Or pick through the wine chiller…another frequent indulgence. BUT, if you want a return invitation to my favorite room, there’s one rule: You sit, I cook ;o)
