Hey y’all! I have something really special to be thankful for this year.
In case you didn’t know, my family recently moved into a new home!
While the move itself was, like all moves, a bit stressful; I was very excited to get into the new house because I FINALLY got a studio!
WOO-HOO! No more painting furniture in a freezing cold garage!
I can’t begin to describe what a dream come true it was to decorate and organize my own studio. There is something so powerful about dedicating a room to my art and business that really makes it feel like a sacred space.
When I posted some photos of my studio online, I was surprised at the response! People loved it (yay) but all anyone could really talk about were my curtains! CURTAINS? Really?
People asked me so many questions about those dang curtains that it really cracked me up. They aren’t fancy, hand-painted things… they’re actually my old drop cloths! I just scooped ‘em up off the floor, stuck them on a curtain rod, and BAM! New curtains that people are raving about.
But, for some reason, those curtains really make people smile and it got me thinking…
What other ways can we give old art supplies new life?
I’ve got a special blog post allll about that brewing for you. In the meantime, here are some more photos of my studio. Eventually, I’ll make a post about the new house, too! But we have some rooms that need to get painted and some furniture that needs to be organized before I’m ready for y’all to peek inside my home.
Your studio looks fantastic and I’m sure it will inspire you on to greater artistic endeavours..!! The curtains really turned out well, even if they were just drop cloths… they fit in.
Thank you!!
Curtains are a brilliant idea! I’m gonna do it! Nice ‘n warm studio! LUV LUV how fabulous it looks!
I love it. I bet it is so nice to be out of the garage.. I don’t paint for a living but I do paint a lot in our home and I do it in the living room.. not the ideal place but it’s not all the time.. it is beautiful! I bet you spend a lot of time in there.. look forward in seeing the rest of your house…
I’m still painting the rooms but once their finished, I’ll share more.
Thank you, Sandy!! I can’t wait to see yours, too!
a beautiful space to create all your magic in. I love all the natural light and what a view to look out to…
Thanks!
What a lovely studio. Think of all this will generate.
I would not change a single thing, it’s perfect.
Beautiful studio! I also love your new staging wall. Painting in a hot or freezing garage must have been tough! Love your videos. I even had my husband watch you paint the other day. I am in the process of painting a China hutch hubby saved from a rubbish heap. Well, actually a brush pile. He had to make three curved drawers because there were none. Thanks for inspiring me!
