Room Makeover!

I realized today that its been about two months

since I've done any art in my bedroom/studio.

I have taken over the kitchen table

Now I don't feel so bad about doing my 

artwork on my kitchen table, because

I can watch our GIGANTIC tv from

the kitchen. (My roommate works for an electronics company :))

Except, my art has spilled out into the living room floor too.

Woops.

What can I say, I need SPACE to do what I need!

Except this apartment isn't mine alone.

My roommate is my best friend.

We have lived together almost 6 years,

known each other for 11.

So, we have a good relationship,

but I think I have pushed her last button with 

all my art supplies all over the place :)

Today I thought that if I got a bigger desk,

I'd be able to spread out more.

Of course, buying a new desk

led to me buying cute little storage bins,

and then of course to re-arrange my entire

bedroom/"studio".

You know how that goes!

(and not cleaned up either!)

ACK! A MESS!

And this is the state it is in NOT in use.

hehehehe

3 and a half hours later....this is where I am

View from my doorway.

Say hello to Fergy!

I moved my bed to the center of the room,

and plan on placing my desk near/in front of the window.

I've always wanted to have natural light at my desk.

That trash bag?

Full of my paints/inks/mediums/paint brushes..mmmm...

I LOVE the little storage bins with fabric bins in them,

found at Target!

You can't really tell...

but there is a LOT of constructing

needed to put together this desk.

I can barely hammer a nail straight.

No joke.

Phase 2: Project Want to Die While I Make a Desk

will commence

tomorrow night :)
 Check out all the trash...
I am not even a pack rat,
and yet, when you move stuff around,
you always end up with lots of trash.
I love it!

 Oh, and I definitely needed this tonight:
(this shotglass was bought especially for me,
because I'm so short. My friends think it is HYSTERICAL!)
