WIP Wednesday - Studio Swap, continued...

I've been working so hard (painting walls vs. my painting Christmas mailer which I want to be working on)that I wasn't even on the computer yesterday to post the WIP!

Old Studio (which shall now be known as the new Guest Room) has been painted shiny 'wedding white' and has had its carpets cleaned (industrial fan roaring away attempting to dry even as I type).

Now it needs to have the closet put back together, and then be furnished. Ikea run tomorrow.

Endless studio unpacking continues (see all those emptied and flattened boxes there on the right? Many of them filled more than once). Still trying to sort and figure out what to do with the *rest* of this stuff...

Aaaand - my ginormous desk. Right now, I need a stepladder and a pillow on my chair to be tall enough for it. Need a better setup for climbing up.  On the plus side, the desktop is large enough for the cat bed - so Max is sleeping up here in the corner keeping me company.  

I'm giving myself one more week - and then all this house stuff should be sorted!

WIP Wednesday - Studio Swap

 Thanks to some energetic young men, the old studio is finally *empty*! I've wiped down the walls and the baseboards and spackled all the many many holes in the walls so that I can begin painting it tomorrow. (I will miss the view of the gardens and chickens from that window).

 I also need to call the carpet cleaners (see the imprint of the filing cabinets - complete with rusty spots..) Then, on to acquiring new bedroom furniture and accouterments for its final transformation into the new guestroom.

 So now pretty much everything has been moved downstairs to the shiny new studio space. Is total chaos. How the heck did all this stuff fit in that half-as-large room upstairs? (Here it is a couple of years ago, when it wasn't quite so crowded..)

Transitions - so slow and labor intensive. Am hoping to *finish* this soon! Actual art is anxiously awaiting completion!
