my new workspace reveal!

March 4, 2014 By the creative arcade

IMG_5256i think i promised you back in June or July of last year after we moved into our new home, that i would be decorating my new studio space and planned to post pics for you. well -life, school, being a mom, painting bedrooms; basically putting the right priorities first bumped this project down a ways. in fact, i just did it in February. i used gift cards i received for Christmas and planned and designed my new office!

here are my very rough plans:

office sketchdon’t look too long your eyes will start burning…

mini drawer carts

and here is the almost finished project:workspaceoffice reveal

new studioi say almost because you have to help me pick things to put on my magnetic chalkboard. that’s right! that whole wall behind my computer is magnetic chalkboard!!! i am so excited about this! i can’t wait to share the tutorial with you on how cheap and easy it is to make it!

new workspace my desk(i need more tea!)

i am so excited to have this large space to work, create, draw a little better, dream, write, inspire, and help the kids with their homework ;)

any ideas for things to go on my magnetic chalkboard? i did draw a few in that awful sketch, but i would love to hear your ideas!

OH, and – i can’t decide…. is it

  1. an office?
  2. a studio?
  3. a workspace?

help!

krystina

    Definitely a studio. Don’t attach the word ‘work’ to it.:) It’s absolutely lovely! What about a personal quote swirling across the top of your new chalkboard?

    Hi Krystina. This space looks great and it’s your wonderful studio where all the good work comes from all your talent and unusual point of view. You think like a true artist.
    Love
    Sandi
