Behind the Cabinets: It Ain’t so Pretty in There. Enter if YOU DARE.
All week I’ve been sharing studio organization SUCCESSES. Well, the creative whirlwind ain’t always so pretty. When, I set out to create a functional space years back, I INSISTED I needed cabinets. That everything would be tidy and stored out of sight and reach. Well… um… that declaration of crazy hasn’t always panned out for […]
It is SO… ON! ITSO Makes My Space Happy.
ITSO Storage… totally made for artists and creatives who don’t like to put things back, make EPIC MESSES and put off the actual clean up. DING. DING. DING. DING… these were totally made for ME. So, I’m the kind of person who has a lot of ideas and don’t always know where I want to […]
