After 9 months of boxes and construction, cleaning, organizing, sorting and purging, I am finally moved back in to my studio and starting to make tutorials again. I am more than grateful for all the work my husband and mom put in to helping me get this space to where it is today. It is better than I imagined.
I'm sharing it with you in two videos. This one that shows where we started and what it looks like now, as well as some of the design and decor details. The next one that I post will just focus on storage solutions and organization, so I pull out the drawers and open the cupboards and show you what is inside.
So I'm inviting you to come along and let's get touring!

Most of the upper and lower storage cabinets in the room we purchased many years ago from Home Depot. We re-used them again to save money. We somehow found two extra uppers that matched to replace the two that were broken. Search Lowes or Home Depot for “closet storage cabinets” to find a style you like.
