[GARO11] July 14

 

Welcome to the Great Art Room Overhaul of 2011!

My art room progress has come to a screeching halt, but in the interest of being honest and authentic, I thought I would show you some (obviously untouched) photos of what it looks like this morning. The next step will be to hang my shelving to hold my paints, etc. And then I'll begin to organize the room - half classroom/public space, half studio space for me.

What do you think of the green? I never intended to have a green that deep. I do this all the time - pick something muted and subtle and then change my mind at the paint store. A friend said, "I need that exact shade of green in my life in the middle of winter," which I think it is a great point. I'm not going to make time to repaint it, so we'll see how it looks when the room is done. I love the grey - love love love it!

And, I could not be happier with the lighting and new ceiling fans. Third floors get hot and these are working great!

So there is a classroom area, a space for my work and supplies and a seating area. I still need to find a comfy rug (trying to design a room where my kids want to hang out too), but overall, big purchases are done. Phew!

Happy Thursday! xo
