Since I did the office/studio furniture shuffle in February, I’ve been sitting on makeshift desk chairs. At first, it was a Fench cane chair that worked pretty well, even if it wasn’t the best height or the most comfortable. But, I could slowly feel the cane seat loosening and it finally punched through (which was awesome for my self-esteem.) So, … Read More

The studio closet is finally finished! I cannot express how awesome it is to have all of that functional storage in this space now. It was one of my goals this year to make my workspaces more functional and that has been accomplished in my studio and home office. If you missed any previous posts in the studio closet series, … Read More

This side is tricky, because of all of the windows, the mini-split (heating & cooling unit), and the fact that it’s the part of the room that’s most visible from the kitchen. From the moment we first moved in, I … Read More
