Behind the scenes

 Inside the Art Cupboard: A Creative Space Full of Inspiration

 

The idea for starting the Art Cupboard blog was born in my kitchen. It’s where I sit at the table whenever I find a quiet moment to create. Very often, I’m joined by my daughter, and together we love making new things or giving old items a second life. These shared moments are not just about crafts—they’re about creativity, learning, and spending meaningful time together.

 

 

For me, the kitchen is much more than a place to cook. It’s the heart of our family home, where we spend most of our time, talk, laugh, and exchange ideas. It’s a space where creativity flows naturally, whether through crafting, experimenting with materials, or coming up with new ideas for meals.

Recently, I had an idea to reuse glass jars to store leftover breadcrumbs. I cleaned and dried the jars, then filled them with breadcrumbs made from leftover bread and buns. It felt good to turn something that might have been wasted into something useful. Soon, those breadcrumbs will become part of a new meal, adding homemade flavour to our meat dishes. Small ideas like these are what inspire Art Cupboard—simple creativity, thoughtful reuse, and finding beauty in everyday life.
