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 […]

I’m so inspired by the effects. I often find myself pushing other color mediums like oil pastels or colored pencils […]

On Friday mornings, I try to clean and restore my space from the CHAOS that is this: In fact, this pic is a mild version of what I just put away. To some sort of function that is this: Usually, I’m looking for things I’ve put in the “special place.” You know, the place where […]
