Building An Art Studio Part 1

I finally bit the bullet. I finally decided to turn my junk room into an art studio. I figured if not now, when?

​When I say junk room, I mean junk room. However, it's a room with potential. It's a fairly good size and it has windows on three sides, which means light, and light is gold to an artist. The first thing to do was to clean it out. That took a full day.


The next thing I had to do was hire somebody to put up new sheetrock and wire the room for heat. I hired a small, local company called Peek Construction. They began work by tearing down the old sheetrock and hauling it out.

Then the new sheetrock had to go up, the wiring done and a heater installed. That's my dog, King, by the way.

My husband generously offered to paint the ceiling while I chose the paint and primer to cover the walls. Then, I spent a day cutting the paint into the walls and ceiling. Coming soon -  Building An Art Studio Part 2 - the next stage in renovation!

    I thought I'd write a few thoughts on art, life and whatever else comes to mind.
