The Studio . . . Day 4

hello!

We made some good progress today and I'm learning to use

 some new tools, like a nail gun! Quite different from a sewing machine.

Bless husband  . .  he is so patient with me!

Before this re-do my closet had big shelves, and ugly wire shelf and a pair of brown curtains,

I didn't love it but it was better than trying to shove the doors back and forth to reach supplies.

This time I decided that even the curtains should go. Having the closet fully open

makes the small room that is my studio look and feel much larger!

I'm big on re-using and re-purposing when possible and these big ole

shelves have been with me almost as long as I've been in business.

They have been arranged many ways and painted a few colors, tho they aren't

fine furniture, they are nice deep storage.  

So . . .  we painted them again, stacked 3 high on the left and the single on the right

we topped with a "bread board" style desk top, we added a simple trim to all the fronts

for a nice finish . . .  that was the nail gun part!

This is now my "Sewing Pantry", inspired by an antique "Buttery".

I'm still thinking a bit about the open space over the desk,

my wire racks of ribbons would fit nicely, so would more shelves.

But . . . that's a decision for another day!

Tomorrow is Paint The Walls Day!

Many little holes have been spackled and I'm all ready to begin.

Well . . .  after I unload that big yellow cabinet so we can get to the wall behind it!

Big shelf units

The Sewing Pantry

Paint still drying . . .  Another flat surface to clutter up :-)  

For some reason I kinda like these two cupboards sitting side by side, I haven't made a final floor plan yet,
but for now they look like big brother and little sister.

If you are where the winter is acting wicked . . .  Stay safe & warm!

We are about 15 below tonite!
