The basement art/craft room

Hi Friends!!

I would have been here sooner but I've been super sick with a nasty cold this week.

In fact,  I tried to post one of my prewritten drafts but it somehow posted on the sequence that it was written.    So..  if you dig back a little, my favorite easy Cream of Shrimp soup recipe is floating around here somewhere. 

 

Otherwise..  Welcome to my art room.

I can't remember if I took you all for a visit in my new crafty space on my old blog.

I think that last time I posted about my space,  it was still on the sun porch.

 

 

Months ago,  after I was finished fixing up Paul's side of the basement,

 

 

I decided that I wanted to fix up the other side and use it as a little art studio.

 

The chest cold is driving me crazy..

I have so much to do,  but can't really do much without coughing and feeling breathless.

Its the perfect time to hang out in my space.

 

Plus, a few bouquets of paint brushes can always cheer this sick girl up.

 

 

 

It's just a small art space..

I've still got to share my half of the basement with all of my seasonal decorations.

 

 

 

Isn't this huge work table awesome?

I built that.  

 

Bad ass, right!

 

 

The space was actually planned around the table.

 

I idea was that I needed a place to hide some of my Christmas decorations.

I thought about having Paul build me a storage closet,  but I knew that would take to long.

you know how men are.

and I'm an instant gratification kind of girl!

So then came the idea of a big skirted table to put things under..

and the next thought was to move all of my craft supplies down to the basement.  

 

 And Viola!

The perfect place to create!

 

 

I love having this new basement space.

No more mess on the sun porch.

 

As I am planning to take it easy and let these lungs heal,

This is where I'll be for the next few days.

I think I'll paint something spooky.

 

Have a great day
