Small attic spaces with low ceilings can often feel restrictive or remain unused in many homes. However, with a little creativity and thoughtful design, these cozy nooks can be transformed into functional and aesthetically pleasing
I've always dreamed of having a creative studio. In my head, my workspace features a big collaboration table smack dab in the middle of the room surrounded by storage and organization for all my vintage decor. In the past, we've never had the right space to create a work studio. However now that we've found our new home, my workspace dreams are going to become a reality!
One thing that I love about being a part of The Great Interior Design Challenge is the sheer innovation and ingenuity that the amateur designers posses. The budget is purposefully tight so it really stretches their resourcefulness. Making something out of nothing is par for the course, but it’s also helps addresses a problem which […]

An artist palette complete with realistic, three dimensional paint daubs that glisten and look like they're still wet! Add real paint brush clock hands, dipped in real paint - your choice of color - and the palette is transformed into its own functional piece of artwork. This is the perfect clock for any art studio or an original one of a kind gift for your favorite artist. This would also make a great nursery / playroom clock that your child will never outgrow. No two clocks will ever be the same due the process used to create my paint daubs. Signed and dated on the back.

Most art canvas storage racks were very expensive and took up too much space. So I found the IKEA HEJNE shelf and got to planning!

I'm off to the farm this week to paint trim and stain the floor in the studio - the last bit of work to do before I can start setting up the space. Since there's really not much to show, I thought I'd share some ideas I've gathered for the space. I need shelving as I have books, frames, canvases...all that need a home. This bookcase is nice and I really like the brush holder. source I like the shallow shelves in this picture. They'd be great for all the cans and bottles of paint. The inspiration/bulletin board area is also really great. I do have an idea for an area to hang photos I'm working off of. source This one is one I really like - notice the canvas storage above the bookshelves and worktable. I want to replicate this is some form or fashion. source These shelves are only one can deep -I'd love something like this so I could see at a glance what paints I had. Loads of them too...I don't think you can have too many shelves. 😊 source Right now my oil paint tubes are in a toolbox. I'd love to have something like this that I could clip them on. Sure would make finding a certain color easy instead of digging through my box. source - #15 Another paint tube system also fabulous: source Love the idea of clip boards to clip inspiration photos up. You can usually find clipboards at the thrift store for next to nothing. source Another setup for canvas storage: source source This is an idea I could easily do - it's an old tv cart with pipe dividers. hmmm, guess I'll have to look for one if Bruce doesn't have time to build me one like in the previous photos. This one I like for the tin ceiling and large worktable in the center. Not sure if I'll have a table in the center though. However, I do plan on one against the wall like the back wall in the photo. source These are all great ideas and will help me figure out how to set the studio up. I am looking forward to planning the space out. SaveSaveSaveSave
