Drum roll please!!!!!Apart from painting the walls, and making curtains, my studio is finished. A lot of chalk painting and waxing brocante finds, and suffering from cracked skin on my fingers, a sore back and bruises from I don’t know where….I love it! Somehow it seems to have manifested a French red, white and blue scheme, but what I love most, is the amount of storage I now have. The two desks, now limed are huge. The additional storage on top gives me a tonne more room for my art materials. I have two huge bookcases, one rescued from a very ginger eighties look and another, a revamped Deco piece. I have a sofa and a loveky cabinet that holds my papers and drawings and a little unit, also limed, to hold all my paints and brushes.
There is a little antique stove too, so winter shoukd be cosy enough. I have a view of the garden too. My haven, my space at last.
It took a little bit if rearranging furniture to get spaces that were more useful than just a route past the window. By moving the table to the bottom if the stairs, which will now have a turn, I got myself a little seating area to catch the š sun.
This is the downstairs…French chic and once all the lamps and fabrics go in, very pretty. But upstairs it’s a different world….for my next post…..and its inspired by a š crock that goes tick-tock!

Yes reds great. I put a little dark wax on, so it’s aged. I have got so behind with posts and commenting …feel bad about that.

Loving the painted furniture! Such great colours. It reminds me of a Van Gogh painting somehow. I hope you have many happy years creating in your cosy space!

Thankyou. Funnily we have had a major plan change snd are moving in two years! We are going back to our barn just south of here, but luckily there is a loveky little house we renovated there and a workshop attached, so everything will fit. Relieved as I love this space. It’s always difficult when you have to make changes, but this time it’s all fir the right reasons.
