Studio Reveal!

Remember the before?

Here she is! I still have a few projects left to do before I would call it finished, but I'm super happy with how things are turning out ;-)

Right when you enter the door...I'm thinking of building a screen door for this...I just love the sound a screen door makes as it slaps shut!!

This is to the left after you enter...

This is my big work table...

My paint station...

All of these tubs hold fabric, art supplies and projects. I'm looking for a couple of dressers to organize it all...

This is a picture of my storage area, it will eventually be covered by a curtain made out of drop cloth...

My Farm Fresh sign and a few projects waiting to be painted...

My cozy reading chair, waiting for a slipcover...

I'm planning on putting bookshelves on this wall...

My sewing table...

The rug my Grandma gave me, topped by a local rug find...

I hope you enjoyed the tour ;-)

Spring has Sprung!

A little taste of spring has been welcomed into our home!







Along with spring comes the ever so wonderful 'spring cleaning'! I love this time of year when I can really freshen up our home and rid it of dirt and clutter! This is also the time of year when I like to think about how to make our home a more safe, happy and welcoming place to be.

I have though a lot about cleaning and how I clean this past month...so much so that I have asked some 'Leading Ladies' in my life for their advice and suggestions. The main thing that they all said was to "clean as you go!" This seems like common sense and I'm sure a lot of you do this BUT for me 'it's all or nothing." I wait until it's too late...or until we have guests coming...to do some major cleaning. Don't get me wrong, I keep up on the dishes and things that are necessary to maintain a healthy home but this is an area that I can definitely improve on ;o)

My main goal for the next few days is to get rid of clutter! Once this is done I can really focus on setting up a cleaning schedule ;o)

A great site to check out is flylady.net

I have tried to follow her cleaning routine but it didn't really work for me. Anyway, there are a lot of other great ideas and tips that I use.



Do you have a cleaning schedule? I would love it if you shared it with me!
