We spent last weekend searching and buying tile for the studio. I settled on 20x20 neutral colored porcelain tiles. Two different tones, that will be set on a diagonal, checkerboard pattern. I can't wait to see it come together, it'll just be a while before it happens so we can save some $$$ to pay the guy to do it.
I have spent the last few days getting some things done for the studio. I found this ugly chair at a thrift store yesterday.
I paid $12.99 (plus tax). The stool was in excellent shape, heavy and sturdy, and the cushion was still bouncy yet firm. All it needed was some fabric to bring it to life. So, I worked on it this morning and came up with this:
I also worked on some artwork. Now, those of you that really KNOW me, know that I haven't picked up a paintbrush (for this purpose) in several years ... like 10 years to be exact. Shocking ... I know. I felt like I was overdue in the art department, so I grabbed my curtain material (thank you Heather Ross) and made this little guy:
The room is finally coming together. I can't wait.
