Creativity speaks a multitude of languages! For #worldwatercolormonth I'm posting a new video every day in July. Today it's a little different, I'm walking you into my studio restroom, showing off the design skills of my carpenter husband. Wade built my studio top to bottom and he put a LOT of input into every aspect of the design - he has great taste!
For the bathroom, he had full design vision for the space and I let him run with it. The gas station theme was a fun outcome! At one point, I had painted the bathroom wall yellow, and tried a "Venetian plaster" effect with terracotta rub-on texture. It wasn't working, and as we both looked at it and thought about what to do instead, we spoke simultaneously, "STRIPES!" It was a great moment of creative synchronicity.
One reason I wanted to share this video was of the way it speaks to caring about craftsmanship, that creativity is really a focus on making beautiful even small, overlooked elements and moments. I thrill with connection to creativity when I see someone who cares enough to invest intention into whatever they are doing, and this kind of caring should be celebrated, called out and honoured.
