studio

before maddy was born we re-did the room that my studio was in. it was a big long room that had been two rooms years and years ago. we put the wall back up, the door back in, put down new carpet and had the walls painted. zoe moved into one room and maddy into the other.

dave and i moved our stuff into what was zoe's old room. it's a bit smaller than the space we were in before. we had to really downsize. before our room held two armchairs, tv, dave's table with his cb radio equipment, my 3 art tables, a small bookshelf, two things of plastic drawers, the dog's crate, two small side tables, a big computer desk and grog (a mannequin my husband built to display the post-apocalyptic suit of armor he was building). the room also had two closets, one that held dave's hunting gear and one that held my art stuff.

now our room holds two armchairs, one table for my art, one table for dave's cb equipment, the dog's crate, tv and my art stuff is in the closet along with small bins holding dave's small hunting items. my sewing machine is now in the kitchen still on its table, one of the tables that i used dave took to work, the big computer desk is being stored in pieces in the garage (the computer's kaput), the printer is hooked up to a different computer in the living room. grog is in the garage. etc. basically lots of downsizing and squishing. i still haven't gotten my stuff completely set up or organized. but here's a look at what my studio looks like.

this is only the table. the closet is full of stacked bins and the two carts of plastic drawers.
