Studio Revamp

Studio Revamp 2016 (7)

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.

And I corralled all of my dolls from around the house and put them together on one long shelf in the closet.
