elvie studio: before

i wish i could tell you how excited i am about my new studio!  this is the outside....it sits above the garage, so it's a really, really big space!  it looks like a little playhouse, don't you think?!


and here is the inside.....it's a little overwhelming,  but it's actually not as bad as it looks.   we moved everything in on monday and i still haven't had a chance to start organizing it all!  


but wait, there's more stuff on the other side of the room!  i've been "collecting" for almost twenty years....and believe it or not, i've actually gotten rid of things along the way!  hopefully, in a few days i'll show you the "after" shots!

    What a fabulous space for the next stage of your creative journey! Sure beats my basement studio, but I can't complain because it's still MY space. Enjoy making this new room YOUR space to nurture your creativity. :)

    Yea! That is soooo great. We moved about 5 years ago to a house that has a similar room over the garage. I had always dreamed of having a studio big enough to have several projects going at once without being on top of each other. Dreams do come true! Hope you have lots of fun organizing and arranging:).

    Ohhh! Yummy space! I'm jammed into a tiny 10' square room, and every shelf is full. What a treat to be able to spread out a bit.

    Have fun setting up... I know you will.

    ;)

    Hugs,
