Inside My Studio

So we finally got our furniture a couple of weeks ago (Yay!). I immediately dove into setting up my studio. Without my husband here all day like he used to be, I really wanted to make sure the space was going to be somewhere I could be happy in for long periods of time alone.

Although it's not totally finished being unpacked and pictures pinned or hung on the wall, the room is pretty much the way I hope it will always be while we're here.

 The room is nice. It's not particularly big, but is big enough and has decently high ceilings to keep it from feeling claustrophobic.


On the left is my computer desk and on the right is my desk for shipping. I like having "stations" around the room for various things and having a few desks makes that a lot easier. 


Currently, my drafting table is occupied by the lightbox and photo props, but it won't always stay like that. I'm planning to get a table especially for photographing at some point and would like to add a comfy chair for my husband to sit in while studying when he's home. I'm not sure if I'll manage fitting both in, though. 


I really like it. I like having a space with hardwood floors so I can roll around the room in my chair and I like having things up on the walls again. It's nice when a room feels pretty much finished while unpacking. It makes the transition into a new place all the smoother.

  1. What a fantastic space! I love the wooden cubby unit, and the fact that you have a toaster...?

    1. Haha, the toaster is to cure the resin. I found a model (it's an older one) that I can set the temperature to EXACTLY what it needs to be for it and doesn't get too hot too fast.

      I would be lying if I said I haven't also made toaster strudel in there before, though.

    2. Haha! That makes complete sense. I like that you have made a toaster strudel in it too :)

  2. Okay, totally jealous of your devoted space. I have a folding table covered with my creative "crap" in our living room. Loving your shipping space, and that light box is crazy great! But what I really want to know is a) what kind of keyboard to you have b) how long have you played c) do you sing too, and d) what music is on your stand in that photo? I play and sing too - I'll go into details another time - but I'm always fascinated when I find other artists who also dabbles in music. Love your work space!!
