My New Studio/Guest Room

All the moving around, switching up and painting that we've been doing lately started with me wanting to move my studio space from our dark, unfinished basement to our bright, spacious guest room. Beds were switched, shelves were made and lots of painting was done.
I'm happy to say that I'm no longer working in 'the hole' as Marathon Man often called it. Our guest room is now my new studio/guest room. I'm loving all the light, the dogs are loving the day bed and how could our next company not love waking up to a room full of mosaics?!
From dark Basement...

To full of light Studio/Guest Room

I made 4 shelves that are all 8ft long. They were easy to make and are perfect for displaying my many sample boards.

Now it's time to get back to making mosaics and for William to take a nap:)

Got lemons, make lemonade

Who knew I'd be posting about our guest room again so soon. My After has become a Before in record time! We had a large, unfortunate, water spill in this room (that would be the lemon part) which led to a huge piece of the carpet being pulled up, which led to pulling all the carpet up, which led to putting hardwood down (the lemonade:)...I love hardwood.
Now it's time to go pillow shopping (sweeter lemonade;) to give the room a new punch of colour.

Inspired by Winter

Over the holidays I tackled our first makeover of 2013, the guest bedroom. The red walls were looking tired - their time was up. It's now all about white. It was a big job that took 4 gallons of Benjamin Moore's Cloud White (a big room + en suite) and I'm glad it's done.

Today (or tomorrow) it's onto our next makeover, the girl's bathroom. After much thought we decided on a colour scheme of yellow, grey and white. The exciting news is that I have a new mitre saw that's waiting to be used...wainscoting?:)
