Come On In!

The door to my Art Studio is now open,
so come on in and play!

Check back in the archives to see what a mess this room was...
It's taken 3 weeks, to declutter, clean, organize, and paint,
and I am so happy with the transformation!

Think my neighbor will want their door back?
It's amazing what a little chalkboard paint and burlap can do...

Pages from an old hymnal...


Photos by Trish nestled in our family friend's toolbox,
plenty of room for my neighbor's hydrangeas
and some of my favorite tools....


Another door and window rescued from the curb,
nestled in around Grandma Izzy's sleeper sofa.


Counter and cabinets from Menards,
purchased years ago and sporting new knobs and finally a paint job.

The biggest change to the room, aside from being decluttered,
is the floor.

Thank you to my dear husband for this surprise!
It was a quick install of laminate, and was a huge transformation....
love the wide plank rustic pine.

I'm fighting a horrible cold, and am going to plop down on the couch now.

Stop by for some more pics tomorrow!

  5. Hi Julie,
    Your room looks great. I love the little blackboards and that you have a few bulletin boards - really handy! Mine is getting there but a bit fiddly so I'm taking my time so I don't mess it up - I'm often really impatient and rush ahead! I love how organised your craft supplies are too - you put mine to shame!
