This blog exists to encourage all those who have ever wanted--and needed!--a tiny getaway close to home. A workshop, playhouse, garden shed, sanctuary, mini-greenhouse, studio, home office; whatever it is you need, it IS doable, with some sacrifice, imagination, and compromise.
It helps if you're handy, too.

The inside of the shed--video
Or find it here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g2vN0BU7y0
Still needing to build the shelves and get the rest of the overhead storage done, plus lighting for artwork, but doing great!
What a nice, cozy place to zone out...I stopped by the hot plate and made a cuppa tea, I cleaned up after myself when I finished. You'll have so much fun in this playhouse!
Kate: I have one of your Watercolor Basics discs, but nothing on the label tells me if this is a DVD or a CD. Waiting for you to tell me...I've had this for some time...
Kate: This CD opens with a banner, a picture of your CD's available and a big photo of Water Color Basics...this must have been included in one of your books I bought. Nothing seems to play on the CD...is this just advertisement or info about the other CD's that are available in your store/website? Am I doing something wrong? You have to know that I'm technically challenged, meaning I'm a dummy when it comes to this tech stuff.
Joan: not sure why it's opening on its own - it shouldn't. Rather than discussing it here, please write to Joseph at JosephR4570@hotmail.com and he'll try to help you.
I loved the video tour, Kate! You've outfitted it very nicely. I saw the video too where you were walking to the shed. How nice that you are nestled in the woods. Yay! Now: go make art in your new shed!!!!
Thank you, Krista! It really isn't "in the woods," it's a lot that used to be my garden, facing another lot that used to be a garden, both of which have grown up with young trees, but it FEELS like woods and I love it. In 30 years it WILL be...
I really enjoy my time over there...and yes, I do work in my journal a lot, there! (When we get the shelves built so I have more room for art supplies, who knows what I'll do?)
Ahhh! Such a wonderful space. Love all the little touches inside and out. Perfect place to get the creative juices flowing! Thanks for the tour! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely new space. I wish you hours and years of happy creating - both art and friendships.
ReplyDeleteThanks, both of you!
ReplyDeleteLove the tour and the feast of "little touches"
ReplyDeleteas Rita put it. I sat right down inside my head and had a cuppa.

We already are, joan!
ReplyDeleteAnd all mine are CDs at this point...

ReplyDeleteWell thank you, Paul! Maybe I'd better listen again, just sounds funny to me...

Oh, it is such fun to have a tour of your little place! Almost as good as being there. Thank you SO much for having us all in ;D.
