Well I finally made it down to Ikea in San Diego to get the new light for over my studio desk. Its amazing that this little box…..
holds my new light. So I opened the box

A few months ago I turned my dining room into a studio. I moved all the dining room furniture to the garage (we never eat there anyway) I painted and bought a new wall unit and desk from Ikea. I just love it!! I have so much storage now. Then last week when one of the residents where I work moved out she left this..

A matching wall unit and best of all it was free!!!

Your craft room looks wonderful - those storage units are great!
ReplyDeleteRobin!
ReplyDeleteI love your space girl!
What a great place to create with all that natural light and not to mention your NEW beautiful light! It's so pretty!
And you really got that other shelf for FREE? Geez, I need to go apply to work at the retirement center here so I can pick up some quilts and shelves and other goodies!
;)
Love it all girl...I wish I could go play!
What an improvement Robin. Your art is wonderful and I can only imaging how much you can do now in your new room. We do spend a lot of time looking for just the right thing to add to our creations. I did a similar thing in the spare bedroom/den. I gave away the hide-a-bed. Sold the coffee table, end tables and two lamps and turned it into my space...best move I ever made....Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteRobin it's just how I pictured it when you were sharing your studio dreams with me at Silver Bella! I think this is magazine worthy! It is so inspiring! And that lamp is WONDERFUL! Lucky girl you! To have such a wonderful place to create!
