Out With The New, In With The Old

Happy New Year!

Last summer I was thrilled to participate in Karen Valentine's "Where Bloggers Create" party. It was wonderful to meet so many other bloggers and receive such kind compliments about my art studio that I had set up in our basement.

Wouldn't you know it, mere weeks after posting that studio tour I moved the entire thing upstairs when daughter got a place of her own. The room is smaller, but brighter and warmer in the winter! I was determined to "do it right" this time; I started out by cleaning the entire room, taking the closet door out and installing wallpaper before moving all my crap, er stuff upstairs.

I've also incorporated a lot of the thrifty finds I've come across over the past six months and added a few new antiques to the room too.... so it's out with the new, in with the old and time for a brand-spanking new Studio Tour.

Needless to say there will be A LOT of photos, using my new (YAY!) Canon DSLR camera I gifted myself on Boxing Day.... which I am still learning to use BTW. A full reveal of my new digs will be unveiled on January 19th, as I join Vicki from 2 Bags Full and her "Grow Your Blog!!!" party:


Here's a sneak peak of my new Victorian Studio, circa 2013:

I love my $45 chandelier from the Re-Store (Habitat For Humanity)

Antique Lefton horse from hubby for Christmas (wearing a crown bracelet daughter gave me for Christmas too!)
I hope you can join me and over 150 other bloggers in this wonderful blog party! And if you have a blog and want to participate, just click on the badge above for all the details!

Now back to that camera manual...

  2. So...how often do you dust? I finally made an effort last month and it was the first time since I set up the craft room in the summer of 2011 that I'd dusted.
