Art Studio Reality Check!

Good evening!!

Wow! Where do I start??? I have a lot going on, right now, but I wanted to share about an EMBARRASSING secret that I have been living with, that is becoming a bigger and bigger obstacle on my path to to my creative self!!!

This evening I spent a little time in my “Art Studio”. I say art studio in quotes because my space that can become my dedicated art space AKA Art Studio! Well, let me show you some pics:

I am ABSOLUTELY MORTIFIED of this CATASTROPHIC MESS!!!

and just take a gander at my work table!

How the heck am I supposed to get any CREATING done in this HEAP of a room!!

AAAAAAAACK!!

My craft room has become a problem for me, as you can see from the ATROCIOUS pics above!! So, I have decided to host my own makeover intervention with myself!! This whole transformation is being brought on because I have been spending some time reading the latest publication of Where Women Create. I want to have a room comparable to one of these women’s FABULOUS art studios!! With interesting and fun storage idas, everything organized with their own style stamp on their spaces!! I just know it will make any art I create that much sweeter!! Ok, that might be wishful thinking on my part, but it really would make it be a space that I would LOVE to spend time in, and not a space that I cringe to!!!

So, more to come! I will definitely keep you all posted!! 😉 Over the next week or few, depending on how long it takes I am going to be taking some progress pics to show you what progress I am making on turning this room into a place of BEAUTY and CREATIVITY!!! This may take a while!! 😉

In the meantime,

Have a FABULOUS evening!!! 😉

    Christina, I can’t wait to see what you do with your space! I’m doing some organizing of my own, so I’m living vicariously through you!

      I can’t wait either!!! First stop is weeding out the unnecessary and taking it to Goodwill, or I may donate it to a local school so some kiddos can use the supplies for crafting!! I will DEFINITELY make sure to keep you posted!! 😉

    Christina –

    Woo hoo girl, you DO love to collect! Here’s the thing. You need much more shelving (on the far right wall) and much more light. I note you’re attracted to warm reds and tans (?) and this room is celery green? Here are my suggestions. (1) Repaint (2) Hire a carpenter to put up MULTIPLE shelves for you (3) Bring in some light with mirrors (4) Invest in better room lighting and furniture – that chair is holding you back! Good luck and stay strong!

      Thank you, Shauna!! Thank you for all of your EXCELLENT advice!!! That is funny that you say that about color, because my husband has been asking me the same thing!! Hmmm…now I may have to decide on a color scheme!!!

      I am working on some kind of a storage idea now for that large wall on the right, I agree, what I have now is NOT working!

      Also, I am very happy to report that is not my actual office chair! I would be sore very quickly on that!! I know it is hard to tell, but there are actually 2 long tables in this room, set up in a ‘T’ formation!! So, my actual office chair is hidden behind my main table!

      Whew!!! Baby steps, baby steps!! I have got some serious work to do!!!

      Check back I will keep you posted!!
