A space where we feel at home is absolutely needed for our mental well being. Since I was an adolescent, I saw that need and rearranged my room to my liking. My parents always allowed me to do whatever I wanted to feel happy in my room. Now, as an adult, I am still like that. My art room is my happy place, but my bedroom, living room, kitchen, etc, is accordingly to my mental well being: no visual pollution, only what really makes me happy. No objects that mean nothing to me or bring bad memories, shells, stones, plants, my art work, family photos and that’s basically what makes my house my happy place and comfortable for me to do my art. Thanks for keeping me company, see you soon, Wendy 💙💜❤️🧡💚💗🖤💛♥️
I watch this video again and again. It's time to make my studio more organized, but it's difficult to find a starting point. Your video helps me find an idea on how to make my home a place of well-being and creativity. Thank you Wendy ❤
Dear Wendy, I discovered your channel a few days ago and I’ve been binge watching your videos ever since. You have inspired me so much and your videos make me feel so safe and encouraged to follow my dreams at my own pace. I’m an artist in my 20s and sometimes the pressure I feel stops me creating but you are a bright light and it makes me want to be brave and be one too! Thank you for the safe space this channel has become. You are such a beautiful and radiant soul! Xxxxxx
I think less is more, I started painting 2 years ago, having come into painting close to 70, I cant believe how much I have accumulated in that time, so much so that I find it more difficult to get motivated now, so I intend going into my studio re arranging and parting with at least half of my stuff, so that the space takes me back to where I first started, less is more Wendy, we don’t need all we think we need.
I am from an Arab country and I follow you, I love you very much because you are spontaneous and your thinking is wonderful, please make simple educational videos in which you explain
Dear Wendy and James, what a team! I wish I had a James in my life. Love the paint tube set-up and good place for the wood shelf, I’ve never liked my back to any door. The studio looks so open and free . Love that you have a space to spin around or yoga. It’s beautiful. James is a very cool guy to have around. A keeper! Beautiful time with you. Enjoy the week ahead. Enjoyed a cuppa with you both. Sending hugs and love from my space to yours. Sprinkle fairy dust around to keep us all feeling bright and full of light. ❤️☮️✌️💫💋
Empaté thing I have noticed, white sheer or lace fabric that can veil or re'veil' the windows during busy to peaceful times helps muffle when you wanna cocoon. 🥰 I love big windows, openness, truth, vulnerability- c'est la vie but all vessels benefit from a bit of a veil be it skin or bark, a sash, or even art. 😉☺️💖 it also sorta even adds more light when off to the sides of the window because the light bounces from it and it just brings an ethereal airy feel. And aaa when you open the windows and the wind sets sail to the soft drapery, aaa feels so magical!
Love how your space is evolving. Enjoy seeing James and you being resourceful and using what you have when refurbishing and decorating. The paint pegboard is brilliant!! Thank you both for sharing your light, creativity, and providing a calm and safe space on this channel.
Cheerio! Love what you have done! My years as a social worker where I met people in their home environment made me aware of how much a person’s mental and spiritual Health was affected or even reflected by unorganized and cluttered spaces! At the time I wasn’t aware of Feng Shui principles, but often there were natural solutions, improvements occurred when spaces were opened and orientation adjustment! I think we could see this in this video and it inspires us! Blessed and safe days!
My craft room is not working great right now. I bought a second sewing machine and the balance is off now. I have too many hobbies but none I care to give up. Great job you guys.
I think its not so easy to be ordered for a real artist as you are. I adore you two, so lovely and funny. Thank YOU for keeping me so much company. The poem of the Free Spirits moved me...😊✨💚🌷🌞🎶🦋🍀🌹🕊️🎈🌻
Your so lucky to have James! I am on my own and have been for a very long time. It would be nice to have help with projects or just someone to bounce ideas off of. Anyway, the studio looks great! Can't wait to see what you create next 😊
I’ve done the same since creating my little ‘art studio’ in a spare bedroom. Being so tiny, mine is all about playtime! And I go to my living room to read, meditate, research & ponder…………… You are my #1 favorite channel! I’m working on ideas/courage to have a channel myself (bought lighting, etc.); thinking it easier if I begin with ‘talking hands’, so to speak. So I seriously appreciate your openness, vulnerability & just being real with your channel! I laughed out loud (& replayed a few times;) when James’ words coincided with your braided ponytail flip. Excellent timing! Haha
This was truly time well spent! Your studio is gorgeous, looks like an ideal space to create. We do think it's time to declare a day of appreciation for the humble binder clip, without which so many artists' studios would fall to pieces!
Purging "...what is no longer serving you or relevant..." That's a seriously challenging statement! Thank you Wendy, for your continued honesty and life-learned wisdom. I'm really appreciating your company in this season of my life. It's been rather messy lately and I've struggled to find direction and purpose. But your videos help restore some reason. Heaps blessed. Thank you.
This is the video I didn't know I needed I've been struggling 😩 with the new layout of my craft room but now I have so many ideas from this video thank you Wendy and James xxxxx
Such a sweet start to my week! Thank you, Wendy, for all that you do, and your willingness to share with us, even when you’re feeling blue. Much love from the Mohave!
I love your atelier! Even in the cluttered state it's cozy to look at. And to see the transformation of your working spaces, and the process of finding their new shape - AND the process of relighting the brightness of the smile in your eyes as new spaces grow, it's so amazing! I live in a cluttered home and have no steady space for trying to do some art. You inspire me to create at least nice storage and portable art space so I can have a little bit of an art life at least 😃 Thank you for taking us into your room 🙏
What an amazing job you two have done, great teamwork.❤Its so lovely to see your smiling face and your happiness at your newly organised space. Its is as much a joy for me to watch, as it is for you to show us and use the new organised space......enjoy.😊👍x
You and James are me and my husband! This is what is going on most of the time in my pottery studio! Philips input, his excellent storage ideas, endless supply of tools, and always has the perfect hook for my needs!
I think it is great to organize and make comfortable spaces. I like to see the choices for insperation. Yes we do appreciate James you are so lucky to have a good mate.
Studio looks fabulous. More airy. Love the pegboard. This video is helping me rethink my art area in my home. I'm having a hard time just starting to paint. Thinking I'm having a creative block because of the set up of my area. Thank you and tell James thank you. Have a wonderful week.
I have a book called SIMPLE ABUNDANCE and one fo the things that changed my World , instead of calling it housework She calls it HOUSE CARE ...what a difference Our Words of Power make ...looking forward to this video and seeing the change ...amazing WHAT LOVE ENERGY DOES TOO!!! xx Arohanui to You and James (He is such a hoot , I bet You laugh a lot!)
I love that; house care: a real game changer in attitude. Thanks. And yes I love learning from these two too. I feel a paint station board coming up and I can reclaim the place where the trolley is taking up so much floor space. The tricky part is I use a wheelchair so can' go up too high on the wall space. But I will figure it out.
@@KerrieDuff I love that too ; there is something about the word 'housework' that puts me right off it! I hope you find solutions to your art space; maybe S hooks and rails on the side of any tables, window sills etc could help.
I can only dream of having a space that large. My home is small and I'm in a 7' x 10' space for art. Pianos and music related items take up a third of the room so I'm am working on a 3 x 5' table with items all over it. I Love your ideas and organizational creativity. Excellent!
Your space looks great. James is such s super help with great understanding of your needs. Whenever I tidy and reorganize my stuff I get a bit lost for a week or two. I am getting ready to start the inside of an angel/goddess / white witch/alchemy journal for my new daughter out law ,Dawn, who is so lovely she even came to Mum's funeral last week and looked after me so kindly people couldn't believe this was only our second meeting. She feels like the daughter I would have loved to have and now I do. All sorts of exciting, sad and life changing events are happening in my life and with Dad and Mum passing in the last 4 months a lot of worry has gone too. I am being very peaceful and quiet. Spring has suddenly turned very wet and cold again. I've had the fire going all day and I've been journaling, avacado dying papers , crocheting and fussy cutting while I.watched a movie on Netflix. Arohanui dear Wendy.xxx
Excellent improvements! I can actually “feel” the new comfort of your work space. The “wall” to enclose the area is brilliant. I so agree with the importance of having a “nurturing” space in which to work. Enjoy! And thanks for all of your inspiring videos.
I just love when things are tickity-boo! Although I realize now that I have no idea how to spell it ;) What a happy uplifting space! James was SUPERB on camera. Get loose, dance, and yoga in the middle of the chi space. Definitely tickity-boo! Cheers.
Why do I find myself saying “I’m proud of you?” Your studio just gets better and better!! James and you are such a wonderful pair of spirits together, and such a joy to watch your working together. Blessings from Betty in Ohio.
Oh wow, guys! Fantastic experience, thanks so much for sharing. My fave bit is the paint tube organizer. Idea: When you add a second panel or more to it, maybe you could design them like a shop display with hinged double-sided "pages" that you can flip through, like a paint tube catalog come to life. But somehow ensure that they don't get locked onto one another by the bulldog clips. Maybe roll-down fabric blinds? At any rate, I love your refresh! Well done, Wendy and James! Bright blessings, all.
Studio looking all sorted and ready to receive you and your fabulous creative spirit! As with everyone your video is inspiring me to get my space like I need and want it. Things change and it's ok to change with them. James is an awesome addition to your make-over. Full of good ideas and so helpful in getting it done! Enjoy your make over and your creative week! Hugs from Arizona🥰♥️🥰
Oh,Wendy, what a lovely place to create and be inspired!! I have a space as well for my creations. You are so right when you say tidying up your workspace, I get anxious when it's a bit of a mess when I'm making jewelry or wire wrapping or doing journal books. I have to clear it up before each project or ideas won't flow to me. I am a sensitive empath and lighting is key to me as well. One thing I do not have are plant babies in my room, and I will add some to keep me company and for the energy they bring, thank you so very much for your heartfelt videos, they are a joy to watch and listen too, and know I am not alone being a sensitive. Many blessing to you and James! Happy creating in your new space!!:))) From across the pond in Sheffield Lake, Ohio!
Loved this Wendy. I am a sensitive soul and an empath also so I know how much your working environment can really affect you. It's important to get it just right for how it works with your energy. Well done. Also really enjoyed seeing James contribute to the video as he did with his talking cameo. You are a lovely pair to watch working together. Happiness to you both. ❤💜💙
Good evening Wendy! I watched this video and realized that the chaos of my creation corner was depressing and blocking my flow. I took a few before photos and started the daunting task of putting it in order. I got only far enough to uncover some interesting bits that I have been working on. I have been percolating on making a journal for some time now, along with the card creating that I do. I have a ton of materials for this craft. But when I sit down to create a new card my mind is messy. I took your advice and made a cup of Lady Grey tea and started making the bits that will fill my journal. I also have your videos playing as I work because your soft voice and encouraging words quiet my jumbled mind and the floodgate has opened. Somewhere I found this quote "Mess is stress, organize your way to serenity. I wrote this out on a piece of stamped cardstock and taped it to the wall over my desk as a reminder to finish decluttering. Thank you for your inspiration.
Yay! The shelf found its home 😊 Lovely video - nice to see you two having fun with it all too (James is a DIY star 🌟) I just had a reshuffle of my little art space at home & it's such a good feeling. Finding stuff you forgot you had is a bonus as well! 😁
Studio is looking great! If it’s anything like mine, it’s always a work in progress. I store my acrylics on a board like yours too. Big thank you to James for all his hard work on your space. You two are adorable together. 😘
Loved the Chi of the room. I can feel the energy from the video. James is so wonderful to help you achieve a safe, warm and 🎨💃💃 ultimately a sacred composition of your energy and his love. Everything plays a part, the paints and everything in it that all have their own energy revived. Wendy it's lovely. The areas all accessible and what you need right at your fingertips. So HAPPY for you. And James you are a sweetheart to help your beloved sweetheart get her musical flow and dance back and now her spirit can paint and create. 🎶🎶🌿🌈👫💞Cheers
I love that you created zones - I’m currently missing zones. I do journaling, collage, watercolor, dry mediums like charcoal and pencil, oil and acrylic paint…. I REALLY need to figure out zones. Currently i have 1 floor easle, 1 drafting table, and I’m using a folding table. But the zones are always moving around - i like to spread out!
Ooh, love your vlogs and art! If the boxes are low key bother and pleases you, you could always scavenger after a pretty, colourful fabric and hang over them as a door without being a door :) am finding that I can follow your thought process quite easily, which is rare for me at times…but got the same problem, and having issue with where to place my art stuff in my small-ish apartment 😅 (& that I am overthinking is always “helping”) Keep up the lovely work and vlogs tho! They are calming!
Brilliant idea to create a cubby feeling by adding that divide between paint area and front door! Feels less like a hallway Im sure now. Brilliant. Hoping you are feeling mega creative and feel like you are being hugged by the room in support for creativity!!! It looks great from out here lol. meow meow purrrs
I love your studio, the light, the plants, your beautiful paintings. Thank you for sharing your wonderful light. Oh, I used to have a shelf like your brown one. I gave it away & now I miss it. Hugs!
Aloha Wendy and James! How lovely that this has come together with such ease and grace. Sometimes, I have to live in a space to know where x y z needs to go. Keep on keeping on as we go forward into Mercury Rx on the 9th (maybe 10th for you?) ! Peace and well-being to all of us.
From a fellow artist you have been such a charming inspiration for my new studio. My mindset was not from a happy space for I was forced to move from a downstairs extra generous space to the main floor due to arthritis. You helped me bridge the choppy waters. Many, many thanks.
I was feelin' called out when you were talking about living in a "tiny, cluttered, unwindowed space". I just sort of looked around and had to let out a deep breath. I love the loft I live in, but the lack of windows and natural light has been making me so unmotivated and it has become more cluttered and as a result, more tiny. There's a lovely floor to ceiling window in the bathroom and a small kitchen window and a door with a window to the balcony, but I feel like if it's not enough light for plants, it's not enough light for me. But I'm not going to remain depressed about it. I'm feeling inspired to finish tidying it all up after watching your videos and getting back to painting the ceiling a lighter color and the walls light and colorful. I think for the windowless bedroom a sunshine-y yellow is in order. And definitely going to take what you said about adding more lights to heart.
You are my favorite youtuber 🌷🌷🌷 Your voice is always calming me! Love all your videos! I wish to find so much of Me and be so in peace with myself. You inspire me a lot! Thank you!
What a blessing to have a peaceful space. You and James did an amazing job together. It was nice to hear a bit more from James on the reasons for your area, and his dance moves! You are both such an inspiration to so many. 🧚
Love your refreshed sacred space! Easy to do: I hope you add a painted round mandala "rug", loose boho style. It would finish your dance space so nicely!
I painted a microwave cart (needed freshening, indeed) as my trolley and have in the past put two back to back with board on top as a standing desk 😀. Use what we have and be happy .hugs.
Your video is spot on. Thank you both for the ideas you created and shared. You never fail to make me smile. Wishing you a week that is kind to you both🙂
Ohhh wonderful additions to your studio dear love this what you and James Have done so Happy for you, looking so comfy and cozy dear for you to create in
Sometimes a little tweak here & there is all that is necessary! I love your studio, I love how you use what you have and repurpose, a great example & reminder that money doesn’t always need to be spent to solve a problem. I think everyone needs a James in their life💕! May God bless you, thank you for sharing your thoughts and studio today🥰.
Love the cupboard to create an entryway! And your little shelf thingy seems so happy in the wetspace 😄 I'd paint or wallpaper the boxes with shopstuff to make that space more pleasing to look at, but that's me. I wish you many happy creative hours in your lovely space 🥰 I enjoy watching your videos, your editing is great.
Beautiful and love the pegboard especially. Little life-hack to make the next one easier: You can put a C-hook in a drill chuck, interlink it into a hook on the pegboard, turn it on and voila! it will gently twirl the hook in, and then you simply unhook the drill and do the next one. Hope that makes sense lol and saves a bit of time and finger-ache. Can't wait to see what you create in your lovely new space. :)
I think a Art Studio is never big enough and the furniture is never enough 😀 I think lots of People have Problemes with ,,no Energie " me to and my friend tell me that too 🤷♀️🤷♀️ 🌻🌞🌻 wish you a beautiful Sunday evening.
I'm so happy that I found your video as it gave me the "kick" that I needed to "change the flow" of my special space. I'm a writer and a journal maker while they can complement each other, I had stopped doing both. It seems I had too much of both and they were all over the place. So, taking notes from your video I am going to have a clearing out and reorganize the lot. Thanks for sharing
It's good to see James interacting & relaxing in front of the camera, you do make a beautiful team together & create some wonderful space's together
Everyone needs a James! Loving, caring, supportive and always ready to help. You two did a fantastic job, Wendy! It looks so cozy and inviting!

I absolutely love that James is so supportive of you and your work. Beautiful makeover 💕
Your studio looks awesome. So glad to see more of James this time around. He is a true DIY guru. Thanks for taking us along.
Brilliant idea to have the new wall with the cabinet facing the door! Add a whole new feeling to the room. Blocks the energy from the door.

Studio looking all sorted and ready to receive you and your fabulous creative spirit! As with everyone your video is inspiring me to get my space like I need and want it. Things change and it's ok to change with them. James is an awesome addition to your make-over. Full of good ideas and so helpful in getting it done! Enjoy your make over and your creative week!
Hugs from Arizona🥰♥️🥰
Oh,Wendy, what a lovely place to create and be inspired!! I have a space as well for my creations. You are so right when you say tidying up your workspace, I get anxious when it's a bit of a mess when I'm making jewelry or wire wrapping or doing journal books. I have to clear it up before each project or ideas won't flow to me. I am a sensitive empath and lighting is key to me as well.
One thing I do not have are plant babies in my room, and I will add some to keep me company and for the energy they bring, thank you so very much for your heartfelt videos, they are a joy to watch and listen too, and know I am not alone being a sensitive. Many blessing to you and James! Happy creating in your new space!!:))) From across the pond in Sheffield Lake, Ohio!
Can we just love James anymore!
Loved this Wendy. I am a sensitive soul and an empath also so I know how much your working environment can really affect you. It's important to get it just right for how it works with your energy. Well done. Also really enjoyed seeing James contribute to the video as he did with his talking cameo. You are a lovely pair to watch working together. Happiness to you both. ❤💜💙
Good evening Wendy! I watched this video and realized that the chaos of my creation corner was depressing and blocking my flow. I took a few before photos and started the daunting task of putting it in order. I got only far enough to uncover some interesting bits that I have been working on.
I have been percolating on making a journal for some time now, along with the card
creating that I do. I have a ton of materials for this craft. But when I sit down to create a new card my mind is messy.
I took your advice and made a cup of Lady Grey tea and started making the bits that will fill my journal. I also have your videos playing as I work because your soft voice and encouraging words quiet my jumbled mind and the floodgate has opened.
Somewhere I found this quote "Mess is stress, organize your way to serenity. I wrote this out on a piece of stamped cardstock and taped it to the wall over my desk as a reminder to finish decluttering.
Thank you for your inspiration.
Yay! The shelf found its home 😊 Lovely video - nice to see you two having fun with it all too (James is a DIY star 🌟) I just had a reshuffle of my little art space at home & it's such a good feeling. Finding stuff you forgot you had is a bonus as well! 😁
Your new set up looks great! Looking forward to seeing new creations coming from it. Much love to you and James (he's definitely a keeper) xx
The “Oval office” - LOLOL. I love to watch you and James be so kindly and lovingly working together.
Dearest Wendy-waffle ... U R such a delight ... U R a tinkerbell for sure ... thanks for keeping my lights brighter !!!
loads of love Bonnie xxxx thank you xxx
Studio is looking great! If it’s anything like mine, it’s always a work in progress. I store my acrylics on a board like yours too. Big thank you to James for all his hard work on your space. You two are adorable together. 😘
Everyone needs a James in their lives who not only helps clarify your vision but also builds it with you! True Love ❤️
Very very cute video. James looks like hes having fun making a space to FLING YOUR PAINT so funny. Hmmm a swing...perfect.
Loved the Chi of the room. I can feel the energy from the video. James is so wonderful to help you achieve a safe, warm and 🎨💃💃 ultimately a sacred composition of your energy and his love. Everything plays a part, the paints and everything in it that all have their own energy revived. Wendy it's lovely. The areas all accessible
and what you need right at your fingertips. So HAPPY for you. And James you are a sweetheart to help your beloved sweetheart get her musical flow and dance back and now her spirit can paint and create. 🎶🎶🌿🌈👫💞Cheers
I love that you created zones - I’m currently missing zones. I do journaling, collage, watercolor, dry mediums like charcoal and pencil, oil and acrylic paint…. I REALLY need to figure out zones. Currently i have 1 floor easle, 1 drafting table, and I’m using a folding table. But the zones are always moving around - i like to spread out!
yes!! Zones are lifechangning!!! xxxx
Ooh, love your vlogs and art! If the boxes are low key bother and pleases you, you could always scavenger after a pretty, colourful fabric and hang over them as a door without being a door :) am finding that I can follow your thought process quite easily, which is rare for me at times…but got the same problem, and having issue with where to place my art stuff in my small-ish apartment 😅 (& that I am overthinking is always “helping”)
Keep up the lovely work and vlogs tho! They are calming!
I feel so inspired to tidy up! I think I was having some art block because my space is so cluttered.
These organization/studio space clearing videos have been incredibly inspiring. Thank you so much Wendy❣️🌸🏵🌼🧚
It's so nice to see James chatting more in the vids!!!
James and Wendy you are a fantastic team 💙💛🤗🇬🇧😊
Brilliant idea to create a cubby feeling by adding that divide between paint area and front door! Feels less like a hallway Im sure now. Brilliant. Hoping you are feeling mega creative and feel like you are being hugged by the room in support for creativity!!! It looks great from out here lol. meow meow purrrs
You two are so cute! I love the changes you've made and how you are maximizing your space vertically.
I love your studio, the light, the plants, your beautiful paintings. Thank you for sharing your wonderful light. Oh, I used to have a shelf like your brown one. I gave it away & now I miss it. Hugs!
You are a wonderful couple. You inspire us a lot. Thanks!
This organzation I loved, it became so airy. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks Wendy and James fantastic video I really enjoyed it so beautiful and inspiring!!! Keep your light shining bright!!!💛 thanks once again!!❤🙂
Aloha Wendy and James! How lovely that this has come together with such ease and grace. Sometimes, I have to live in a space to know where x y z needs to go. Keep on keeping on as we go forward into Mercury Rx on the 9th (maybe 10th for you?) ! Peace and well-being to all of us.
see Leigh Elexson's studio, such a dream. storage solutions, no clutter, roomy
decluttering is the most important, been doing that a lot in my studio
Very nice results. James is such a help to you. I love watching you dance.
I'm so blessed I know, he is fab xx
From a fellow artist you have been such a charming inspiration for my new studio. My mindset was not from a happy space for I was forced to move from a downstairs extra generous space to the main floor due to arthritis. You helped me bridge the choppy waters. Many, many thanks.
well done for embracing... and thank you so much for keeping me company! x
You are so inspiring Wendy the Fairy, I look forward to you videos so much. I am so grateful that I found you
I was feelin' called out when you were talking about living in a "tiny, cluttered, unwindowed space". I just sort of looked around and had to let out a deep breath. I love the loft I live in, but the lack of windows and natural light has been making me so unmotivated and it has become more cluttered and as a result, more tiny. There's a lovely floor to ceiling window in the bathroom and a small kitchen window and a door with a window to the balcony, but I feel like if it's not enough light for plants, it's not enough light for me. But I'm not going to remain depressed about it. I'm feeling inspired to finish tidying it all up after watching your videos and getting back to painting the ceiling a lighter color and the walls light and colorful. I think for the windowless bedroom a sunshine-y yellow is in order. And definitely going to take what you said about adding more lights to heart.
You are my favorite youtuber 🌷🌷🌷
Your voice is always calming me! Love all your videos! I wish to find so much of Me and be so in peace with myself. You inspire me a lot! Thank you!
What a lovely message, thank you so much too, believe me it is a circle of ❤️ happy days in your peace seeking quest!😙😙🫖🫖♥️🎈🎈
You both are so adorable and fun to watch what you come up with. Wendy happy painting, may you get many inspirations.
Fantastic job and thank heavens for clever James absolutely loving the space now it makes more sense now xx
Awesome Wendy and James!!!! I can see more energy in yourself and the room!!! Cheers
Wow... !!! It's always great. Your video is excellent quality. We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks
I just love your Lady Godiva Painting! I just love looking at it and studying how you painted it💕
What a blessing to have a peaceful space. You and James did an amazing job together. It was nice to hear a bit more from James on the reasons for your area, and his dance moves! You are both such an inspiration to so many. 🧚
Love your refreshed sacred space! Easy to do: I hope you add a painted round mandala "rug", loose boho style. It would finish your dance space so nicely!
I love your studio, so inspiring 😊 James is awesome with his cool diys . Thanks for sharing and happy Sunday 😊❤️
Simply beautiful! Makes me a bit jealous, but I send best wishes for creative flow and joy in your new/redesigned space.
I painted a microwave cart (needed freshening, indeed) as my trolley and have in the past put two back to back with board on top as a standing desk 😀. Use what we have and be happy .hugs.
James is the best and so are you x
Your video is spot on. Thank you both for the ideas you created and shared. You never fail to make me smile. Wishing you a week that is kind to you both🙂
Ohhh wonderful additions to your studio dear love this what you and James Have done so Happy for you, looking so comfy and cozy dear for you to create in
James is so kind
he sooo is!!! xxxx
Love that when we change our horrible self talk to openness and freedom thoughts the sadness and depression is left upstream! Flow!💝💃
Sometimes a little tweak here & there is all that is necessary! I love your studio, I love how you use what you have and repurpose, a great example & reminder that money doesn’t always need to be spent to solve a problem. I think everyone needs a James in their life💕! May God bless you, thank you for sharing your thoughts and studio today🥰.
Love the cupboard to create an entryway! And your little shelf thingy seems so happy in the wetspace 😄 I'd paint or wallpaper the boxes with shopstuff to make that space more pleasing to look at, but that's me. I wish you many happy creative hours in your lovely space 🥰 I enjoy watching your videos, your editing is great.
Thank YOu!!! xxxxx
Your studio turned out so beautiful! Breathtaking, really!
Absolutely beautiful brilliantly organised. Also it's nice to get to know your lovely husband, I hope that he'll feature more in future vlogs.
Beautiful and love the pegboard especially. Little life-hack to make the next one easier: You can put a C-hook in a drill chuck, interlink it into a hook on the pegboard, turn it on and voila! it will gently twirl the hook in, and then you simply unhook the drill and do the next one. Hope that makes sense lol and saves a bit of time and finger-ache. Can't wait to see what you create in your lovely new space. :)
I think a Art Studio is never big enough and the furniture is never enough 😀 I think lots of People have Problemes with ,,no Energie " me to and my friend tell me that too 🤷♀️🤷♀️ 🌻🌞🌻 wish you a beautiful Sunday evening.
I'm so happy that I found your video as it gave me the "kick" that I needed to "change the flow" of my special space. I'm a writer and a journal maker while they can complement each other, I had stopped doing both. It seems I had too much of both and they were all over the place. So, taking notes from your video I am going to have a clearing out and reorganize the lot. Thanks for sharing
