- this is the family room, which over the years has hosted lego landscapes, children's books, a craft table, piano practicing, birthday parties, sleep overs, movie nights and gangs of teens.
- now that all four children are away more than they are home, they have encouraged me to dream big. they are my most enthusiastic supporters, along with their papa.
- my mantra this year has been, "an empty nest is full of possibilities".
- so, the old family room is almost my new studio.
- i chose benjamin moore's "calm" (2111-70) as the color for the studio. and its cousin, "stone harbor" (2111-50) for the cupboards. photos of the painted walls soon!
- floor plans sketched on graph paper, organizing supplies, painting old mismatched cupboards, silk screening a curtain(!) ...i am looking forward to the fun of making this space mine.
and i LOVED reading your opinions about the messiness/tidiness of creativity. many thanks to everyone who left a comment yesterday!
