We moved into our current house about three and a half years ago. I claimed a bright and airy upstairs space for my painting studio. I’ve reorganized it a couple of times over the past couple of years, but never made such a huge transformation until a couple weeks ago. When we moved in, this is what the space looked like (beige was the only color throughout the house).
I painted the walls a buttercup yellow, had shelves put up,, and started hauling in all my funky objects for display.
Lately I had begun to feel slightly claustrophobic in my space. It felt like it was packed with stuff (it was).
So I hauled all of the stuff on the shelves to the basement and rearranged the furniture and supplies. I went from this . . . .
. . . to this.
By removing the shelves, I created an entire wall where I can working on large paintings.

More glimpses of my revamped studio space:
And I corralled all of my dolls from around the house and put them together on one long shelf in the closet.
All the stuff I carted to the basement? I revamped my basement assemblage studio, too. Maybe I’ll share photos of that wacky space next.
