Finally I have my new studio together and have been able to work some this week. The sign on my door was given to me by my son and granddaughter. They purchased one for me and one for my husband when they were in Bali a few years ago.
This is part of the East Wall. It holds one of my design walls. The table to the left has one end for my pressing board and iron while my cutting mat covers the rest of the table.
This is the rest of the East Wall which holds a hutch that I re-purposed. It holds my 3 in 1 printer. and other misc. equipment.
The South wall has my wide-format printer and sewing machine. I am lucky enough to have a wonderful view of the lake from these windows.
The rest of the South wall and the beginning of the East wall. Behind those doors are baskets that hold my stash. Well, part of it.
My very organized closet, at least for now.
The rest of the East wall. It holds another design wall. The neat stool you see against the wall was made for my husband and me for our 50th anniversary by our friend, Tom Hanewald. Some how it got in my room and has never left. We were suppose to share. I have a very loving husband.
Just around the corner from the door is a book shelf unit we purchased at IKEA. It holds my stash of threads, tools and files. We plan on purchasing another one just like this to place again the South wall where I have my Wide Format Printer. That will give me a little more storage space.
The North Wall holds my peg board loaded with tools, etc. The cutting table runs parallel to the design wall when I am creating.
But can be pushed up against the peg board when I am not. this gives me so much more space in the center of my room.
This photo shows the floors better than the others. We had tile floors in the downstairs but had some problem with cracking. We decided to replace the tile with a laminated wood product. Love it!
This is the peg board wall before the redo. The yellow paint looks pale here but it was far from pale. I do love bright colors but I find the blue to be so much more soothing.
I love how the studio has turned out and look forward to spending many days creating in it.

Your studio looks lovely. I am envious - I keep hoping to get mine better organized, but it never seems to happen.
ReplyDeleteCheryl, my studio is organized at the moment. Wait until I get into a big project, it is utter chaos. I had to take everything out of the room because we were putting in new floors so that made it easier to do a reorganization.
DeleteYour studio looks great. I am very organized also, but have such a tiny space that I have to keep everything to a minimum. Maybe someday. Stay creative.
ReplyDeleteJudy, I am lucky to have as much space as I do. Sometimes it doesn't seem like enough but I am thankful for what I have. I have a few projects started that I really need to get back to before starting new ones. However, I'm itching to start something new.
DeleteWhat a lovely space to spend your creative time. It looks every efficient too. My studio is also large and comfy, and I try to put it all back together after each project is complete, so that I can enjoy being there! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteCome see me at "Off the Wall Friday!" too.
Looks like you did a great job planning and organizing. And your studio is a very attractive place. In about a month, I'll have my first studio but will probably need several months to shop garage sales and thrift stores for furniture.
ReplyDeleteRegina, my husband built my cutting table. Do ou have a handyman?
DeleteLooks wonderful...love the color you chose for the walls....
