I hardly ever use disposables like paper towels, so this one does fill fast. The tote bag is my laundry bag for paint-covered rags.

I have to say, this last one doesn’t fill fast, that’s why it’s so small!Įver since I took this photo, I added a coat hanger to the wall on the right, so I’m free to work on the easel/door. Then you’ve got to have bins of course: the large one for everything recyclable (paper, cardboard, plastic, masking tape, the packagings of art supplies…), the medium one for compostables (natural fibers, tissues, paper towels that have a bit of oil paint or encaustic wax, paper clay, smaller bits of cardboard, teabags…) and the smaller bin is for everything else. I love this old pink door which used to be in our bathroom, it makes an awesome second easel! I have an idea of using it for some textile projects…

I like to make the most of the space (the studio is about 350 square feet), and this behind-the-door nook is no exception. Light: bring light to the back of the room, which used to be darker than the rest. Make it a space to dream, relax and play, not just a place to work. Make the space feel like home, so that as soon as I walk in, I will feel invited to create. Here are the 3 things I decided I most needed to focus on:Ĭreate different work stations for different purposes including, most importantly, a separate space for filming my classes, and a dedicated art journaling table.

What were the things that made me get stuck or resistant? What parts of the studio did I rarely use? Were did messy piles of “stuff” accumulate again and again? What did the space (and I) need, to breathe more and help energy flow? What I mean is that I took the time to FEEL what was not feeling right in that space for me. Which does NOT mean going crazy shopping and Pinteresting (at least not at first!). So before I got started, I really took the time to assess what I needed. Mine already was, BUT there were some things that just didn’t work for me very well, and it was time for a change. To me, the best creative space needs to be both functional and inspiring. We moved into our beautiful old home, a French farmhouse from 1901, just two years ago, so that’s when I first settled into my current art space ( click here if you wish to see the “before tour”).
