I finally have my own art room!
Oh yes, it is exciting, but HOLY COW is it work! Moving things trying to organize and fight the desire to just jump into painting right away. Well I had the wonderful experience of moving everything not once but twice! Let me tell you, it was work.
It started with the small space between the kitchen and living room. Then my art supplies would be out of the way and I would be able to leave things out. Normally we have our glass table there, but with Christmas just passing we had to move it for our tree. I thought it would make a better art space than table space . . . make sense to me at least.
So the process began . . .
I moved most of my items into the small space, luckily I have a lot of storage cabinets. It looked good, I was able to paint a painting and enjoy the wonders of having my own little space. When I was younger I would play in my grandmas craft room, so I knew this feeling, but it was nice to remember. After learning my Sister-in-law would not be moving in with us, the second bedroom in the house was up for grabs. Now in all honesty the thought of an art room wasn't the first thing on my mind. My husband on the other hand jumped right on the idea. Not prepared to move everything after moving it originally I was a little slow. Mind you this was all with in a 48 hour time period lol so I was doing a lot of walking back and forth. Below are photo's of my art space, before moving into my new room.
Process begins AGAIN. . .
Once I got everything into my room I was needless to say relieved. I have a bunch of my paintings surrounding me. A picture of my husband and I in a frame my great grandma made for me (only suiting for a craft to be in the art room). The hardest part was now everything was organized. It doesn't sound bad but normally I had an organized mess and can tell you where everything is right away, now I was searching for my stuff. A future project I intend to do is create my own little signs to help me out. Call it a crafty cheat sheet :)
Last night I finally sat down in my craft room deciding I was going to paint. I was dying to paint all while moving everything, but clearly needed to get my room ready before I started painting in it. I was sitting there enjoying my room. I had started a painting but wasn't really doing anything to it. Just sitting there smiling at everything around me, when I heard a knock. It was my husband. "Permission to enter your fortress of solitude." Got to love him. But I loved the sound of it. Mostly because it was mine and I have a door xD - is that too silly of a thought?
But I am finally settled in and will be painting, creating, and dreaming. I found lots of random objects that I am dying to put into a mixed media piece. I don't have pictures of my new room just yet, but will hopefully be posting some soon.
