The Studio


I ran into my friend DeAnna today and she gently encouraged me to post more often on my blog. So DeAnna, this is for you. Since this blog is supposed to be all about artful endeavors, I've decided to start with my artful space. The first pictures are of the studio door that my husband just built. It's a dutch door using reclaimed wood and a vintage window. (Notice the cat door at the bottom.) The reason for the new door (I had a screen door there before) is that my husband will be having shoulder surgery on Wednesday and is looking at weeks of recovery so he will be watching a LOT of tv and since the tv is at the top of the stairs in the living room, I needed a way to block out the sound since I work primarily with music playing. Here's another view with the top open:


I LOVE my door and the finish feels like silk. My husband is amazing! He will build anything I can dream up and he has so much creativity of his own. Tomorrow we'll venture inside "The Studio."

You are one VERY lucky woman!!! This is gorgeous!! And the peek into your studio is such a tease. When are you going to photograph that? I can't wait for our playdate. I'm sure I'll get all kinds of great ideas. And I'm so impressed that you followed through with posting. I'm going to keep checking on you!!! P.S. Tell your wonderful husband that that door is a work of art.
