The Studio . . . Day 2

While I didn't make as much physical headway today as I'd hoped,

I think I made a lot of "mental headway" !

First there was being "interrupted" by "having" to attend an antique show!

We began our day with breakfast out . . . (A great way to bribe husband into heading out early 

in the frigid cold for me to look thru lots of old stuff!)

The Worthington antique show is one of those lovely small local shows put on by

a historical society.  Many of the antiques are museum quality and just beautiful.

Funny tho . . .  after removing LOADS of old stuff from the studio yesterday it made me

behave myself more than usual!

(Except for a very sweet pair of early polka dot stockings you'll see below!)

Then it was off for groceries . . .  "putting in the supplies" for the

winter storm and days working on the studio ahead.

Finally Home Depot . . .  to paint or not to paint (patch?)  Paint...new color?

Too many choices!  We looked at lighting again as well, and trim . . .  hmmm I see

this project growing, "who said anything about trim?".

Next Lowes . . .  then back to Home Depot!

Soooooo . . .  After all that we decided to turn my old eyesore of a closet into

what I will call a "Sewing Pantry" !

Before photos are below, but you'll have to wait to see more . . . If it works out the way I hope!

I did take down curtains and filled every hole I could find!

Tomorrow we get out the saws, it so much fun to cut stuff, don't you think?
And . . . painting?
That too!

Previously this closet had brownish curtains and was packed full!

We took down the icky wire shelf and started mudding holes!
Lots of fun to come!

Just couldn't resist these at the antique show!
The sweetest brown and creme child's cotton stockings!

Just playing with furniture arrangement . . . . I think I could sew in this little corner of the world!
Nothing final yet tho. :-)

Stay toasty!
