We're in the home stretch to finishing the studio. Yesterday I dug out my desk from our garage, which may be a simple task to some, but you haven't seen our garage. Err...the majority of you haven't. A few neighbors who read this blog may have caught a glimpse of our pile of renovation debris (including drywall, old carpet, old baseboards, molding, insulation--it's all piled up in our garage) when we have to open our garage and fetch something and close it as fast as we can. The garage is on our to-do list once we wrap up a few loose project ends.
All that to say, I found my desk--but not my stool that went with it. The more I thought about it, I couldn't remember the last time I did see that stool. Not at our last apartment. Not at the one before that. Isn't it weird when things just disappear? I gave myself a $35 budget to find a new one (Chris graciously said he'll throw in an extra $15--ha!). Luckily, after browsing through a couple stores this morning, I found this simple counter height stool at Target for $20 (this is normally where I would link you to it on their website, but I can't locate the exact one.)!
I assembled the stool in 20 minutes and pushed my desk over to the window. It's my favorite place to draw. I love the light that pours in and the inspiration that I can get from staring at the mountains that are situated right outside of these windows. I can't wait to settle in during nap times.
Although right now, there is no settling. There is no drawing or painting. I am closing this door to you until I finish the room. Hang some art and shelves and for heaven's sake--clean up. The next time you see the studio, it will be reveal time. :) Get excited, friends!
What do you think?

ooh yay I'm loving the arty vibe in here! And I also love that you draw. Just found your blog and I'm so glad I did! We're working on our first home too and the office is going to be our next project. Can't wait to see your studio!!

Its already a very welcoming little room. I can see the inspiration fa-lowing!!
Woohoo! I can't wait for the reveal! It's going to be gorgeous I'm sure of that!
I am in love with this room! In fact, I may just move in... Ok, that may be a little strange! But really, the studio looks amazing. Can't wait to see the reveal.
Can I just say I love the whole thing? Also, what you did to the floors is so clever. If I suggested something like that my husband would just look at me like I was a crazy person!
I know. I knowwww. I feel a little guilty having an entire room to myself. Guilty and blessed.
We are ALWAYS losing stuff. We have moved four times over the last four years of marriage. I lose dishes, towels, shoes, etc. I lose everything except our books. That's the first thing I pack up and take care of. !!!
Yesssssssss!!! I am pumped to see it all come together. Those desks are so awesome. I wish I had a room to myself to just lock the doors and disappear for a couple hours. I hate having to pull out everything and then put it all away at night after I finish a sewing project.
