Today was the big day when they finally came to install the new wood laminate floor in my studio! I spent yesterday moving out all my art supplies and furniture. This morning, my parrots Lulu, Lucy, and Cookie were brought upstairs. They were not happy about the move! Fortunately, nearly everything in there is on wheels. There’s one huge cabinet that is not on wheels, but my dear husband is going to put them on tonight, so it’ll be easy to move it back in.

I love having everything in the studio so mobile. If I’m working on a larger painting, or have a model in, or just want a change of scene, I can have a new studio setup in minutes. Now that I’ll have the wood floor instead of carpeting, it will be even easier to rearrange at the slightest whim.

Needless to say, my computer in there is disconnected (I’m on hubby’s now), my camera software is inaccessible, and most of my art supplies are packed away in cabinets and drawers up against one another…. But the floor is done, and it looks fabulous!

I guess I’ll be moving furniture most of tomorrow and reorganizing.

Jamie, this is fabulous. Congratulations, I bet you will really enjoy this.

Later,

It looks super, but so empty! Hehehe, wow, look at all that space, too bad it isn’t down here, I could help you fill it up!

Jo, I’m enjoying it already! Thanks so much for stopping in to see it.

Lori, it’s not as empty as it used to be! LOL… However, I am determined not to put as much back here. This is the second time in the past few months that I’ve had to completely empty out the studio. I’m hoping to keep some of that “sparse” look and store canvases, frames, and paintings elsewhere from now on. Rondo’s favorite chair is back in here, three of my parrots are back, and my computer. Now, I just have to find a place for that easel! hahaha….

Jamie – It is gorgeous!
Maybe when I grow up I can have my own studio.
(grump grump)… my floors will need to be replaced or refinished if I am not careful.

Robin, I’ve had a white carpet in there for years and never got paint on it. But I think I’m going to get an inexpensive area rug for my painting area now, just in case! One thing is for sure; my parrots sound a lot louder with the wood floor than they did with the carpeting here!

Wow, Jamie – looks fab! If I were you I’d be rolling around all over that floor in excitement right now.

Is that really the same studio room I saw when I visited you last year? Hard to believe! The new floor looks great, but I bet not too much of it will be visible once you get done “refurnishing” it (I’d insert an evil grin here if I had one).

Happy painting, I’d love to have that much room to work in…

Jamie, I’m green with envy!

The new floor looks wonderful!!!! Having something new in the studio is always an inspiration. I look forward to seeing the new work it helps to launch.

Something to say?
