My newly decorated "studio" . . .

Looking for my Sassy Cheryl DT Post? 
Please scroll down!


Hey there, my sweet friends! I finally finished re-doing my "studio" and wanted to share some "before" and "after" pics with you. Be forewarned, the "before" photo is painful to look at! hehe!! 
So . . . here's the BEFORE . . . aacck!

And, thanks to my sweet, sweet husband (who painstakingly assembled the new furniture . . . including my gorgeous new Martha Stewart "Craft Armoire" which was delivered in FIVE huge, flat boxes, aacckk!) . . . here's my new and improved studio . . . I'm taking a drawing class, so here's where I practice . . .

And, the AFTER . . . YAY!!

Here's my Martha Stewart "Craft Armoire" . . . it's a thing of beauty . . . and so practical!


Take a look at these drawers . . . they're HUGE! 4 kinda thin drawers for my wood-block stamps . . . and 4 drawers below that are a bit deeper for art supplies . . .


Here's where I keep my cardstock . . . 6"x6" DPs are stored in those small draw units . . .


And this is where I keep all of my Wild Orchid flowers . . . they're organized by size rather than color . . .


 As we continue around the room, you can see my storage closet . . . that's not quite finished . . . eventually it'll hold more art and craft supplies!


And here's my workspace . . . clearly I'm between projects . . . notice how neat and clean it looks! Oh . . . that skirt around my worktable is actually 3 pair of cafe curtains that I hemmed and attached with velcro!! My dogs' bed is underneath . . . they keep me company while I work!


A close-up of my Copic storage . . . and some of my pencils. These are Prismacolor pencils . . . I keep my Faber-Castell and Caran d'Ache pencils in the bookcase. I'm saving those for other art projects . . .


And there ya have it . . . sorry for the plethora of photos! I just had so much fun, new stuff to share! Thanks so much for visiting!! I'll see you sooooon! Hugs . . . .
