Garage to art studio project. Almost there.

Hi everyone,It all feels like it might be coming together after all!Here is the progress over these last three days.Chloe gave me a few hours on Wednesday, I drove my sports car out of the space and we put everything not needed into the rafters of the garage roof. That one afternoon made the biggest difference to the coming together of this studio.Then yesterday I spent the afternoon organising. A few weeks ago I went on the search for an art table and found one in two pieces at the SPCA thrift store for not too much money. What I like about it is that it's heavy and made from solid wood, stands waist high so I don't have to bend down to my paints, and it would take a very hard knock to tip it over. There was a criss cross of duct tape under the top and I figured that might be holding the screws to pull the table back together again. I was right!This art table was by far the easiest build in this project...lol.I bought myself a very inexpensive Rapunzel ivy plant. It cost $12, about the price of a small bouquet of lilies but much longer lasting, and hung it on a convenient ring in the ceiling. It's too far from where I want it, (which will be closer to the window so it can entangle itself in my light), but have to go find the stud in the ceiling and drill into it for a new hook, so for now it stays there.That Value Village trip also resulted in these large and heavy cotton pillow shams which fit my father's old cane chair and brighten up the space. Oh also, when I moved my car out, I moved it into a downpour and so gave it a good wash before moving it inside again and drying it off. Isn't it beautifully shiny? I love this car.And then I took an hour or so moving decorative pieces around and trying to work out the best visually pleasing decorations to have around me.So there we are.The studio is almost ready for me and for all of you to come visit.Now to move the canvases back, make a book shelf for some books, bring in a radio for some CBC and some tunes, and maybe a tea kettle.Yesterday I committed to the first nail in my freshly painted walls for these butterflies.Now to bring back the canvases.Thank you for sticking with me during this garage to art studio project.
