My new studio is finally coming together!

 

Well, we've lived in our new home now for 6 months!
I think it was really about time I finished unpacking and
putting together my new art studio!

I had unpacked a little and decided I needed new

lighting fixtures on the sweet front porch.

I just LOVE how they look!!

Thanks to my dear daddy who installed them for me!

Dad noticed there was an old wasp's nest inside the rusty fan

that had been on the front porch so he took it apart

so I could use it for artwork!!!

The next step was a new door!

I found it on FB Marketplace and it was exactly what

I wanted to let a little more sunlight inside.

My sweet dad installed it AND we started hanging

lace curtains!

Yes, those bottom panels are quite long

but I can shorten them from the top later!

I've actually added a mini blind on this window below

because the sun sets on this side of the studio.

It really helps keep it cooler inside too!

You can kind of see the entrance to the tiny bathroom

in the left side of the photo below:

This is my new sewing table. It's on one end of the room and

my desk is on the other end. It really is just a room!

But I love it. There's a small bathroom in there as well because

it used to be the pool house!

This is the little nook off of the main room with a sink!

I've managed to cram as much stuff as possible in it though!!!

Even a mini fridge that was a gift from my son and his wife.

I know there are a lot of repetitive photos but

I took more pics once I hung artwork on the walls.

There is still more tweaking to do

but am so excited to get to MAKING again.

It's certainly time, right?

Thank you always for stopping by to see what I'm up to!

Hugs and love,

Dawn

Where Bloggers Create 2015!

Here is a glimpse into my studio ~
Last year I broke down our guest room and
now I have a TWO room studio.
I have lots and lots of stuff but I can't help it,

I LOVE IT!
My motto is,
"Surround yourself with what you love and you will be inspired!"

There is so...so...much more space!!

Yes, I still have a few piles and goodness gracious

I just hope I can remember where I put everything.

If you're OCD these pics may seriously test you!

I really tried to group things though.

Now that my sewing machine is in the extra room,

I've placed most all of the sewing supplies in there

except of course all of the STACKS AND STACKS

of fabric...no, I'm not moving all that.

So here are the photos I want to share with you ~

It's still not perfect but a vast improvement and

in doing this it has fired me up to create!!!

Here's a peek (just please ignore any dust you may see!)

And some of that clutter on top of the bookshelves

and black amoire will end up in my Etsy.

Wonderful Santa created by artist and friend Becky Carney ~

My advent calendar published in Somerset magazine ~

Artwork gifts from dear friends ~

So, wanna come over and make something pretty??!!

Thank you always for stopping by to see what I'm up to.
