A Studio Transformation Journey

An unused garage

plus a vision equals

a wonderful little creative space to call my own.

Seven months ago my family and I took a little transformation journey. 

Oh let me re-phrase that!

Seven months ago I got a wild hair

to transform our unused garage (aka storage pod)

into a quilt studio
and my family was dragged along!


Month 1

Everything came out

We sorted, repacked, discarded and relocated.
AND
then darling, sweet hubby broke his hand - uugghh

Month 2

We cleaned

and made preparations for the delivery

of the "wild hair"

My pretty red longarm



Month 3

I quilted

and made minor improvements

Waverly "Jalapeno Pepper" - Lowe's

Month 4

The painting began

Valspar Wasabi Green and Pale Pine - Lowes

Month 5

The electrical work began

lots of lights ( 6 - 4')

a new circuit panel

Pottery Barn pendants

We had the nicest electrician that spent countless hours

making sure every detail met my expectations.

I miss him!

Month 6

Moving In

I have several antique "family treasures" that were not being used.

Now they fit right in!

My Grandmother's kitchen table

My Dads baby highchair

My Grandmother's shelf with sweet treasures

My Mother inlaws vintage aprons

my most recent creation

a vintage sheet flower pillow

My Grandmother's buffet

a Pottery Barn cubby that holds fat quarters perfectly

I heart PB

a sweet little pincushion from my friend Pat

She makes the best stuff!
