Here are the photos of my expanded studio with new paint and carpet...
I still need to buy some kind of storage pieces so I can start filing and sorting all my STUFF. I hate to bring anything back in though...right now it all looks so spacious and clean!
Woo Hoo! The Hot Apple Spice Wall (#2005-20 from Benjamin Moore Paints)...I want white storage pieces against this wall...maybe some open-back bookcases.
The sliding doors still need to be painted white and I need to buy some shelving inserts for my closet.
The entrance to my room still needs to be painted white as well. The STUFF that's on the ledge is only there temporarily until I decide where I want to hang things. I plan on keeping the shelf "clutter-free". It'll be a challenge, but that's the plan.
My computer table...still lots of odds and ends messing it up...my tape for my holding my strips in place, telephone cabe, tacks and other little bits of STUFF. I do love my new carpet...very soft and warm. There's concrete floor under the carpet so it's very nice to have.
And finally, my table where I draw and ink. I'm due for a new T-square...the one I have is at least thirty years old. I was going to buy those hard plastic mats to put under the table and my computer station chair but I think I'm going to buy a little section of flat carpet with some red in it to match my HOT APPLE SPICE WALL. :)
I tried to replicate what I kept doing last night...after I finished the last bits of painting, vacuuming and moving my desks into position...turned off the lights except for my art table light and look at my new room and go "aaaaaaaah". :)
Will do! :)

Strider Girl, thanks for your interest! The blog series with Kim is maybe, sorta, kinda autobiographical but not completely. I'm not getting rid of the blog. However, I AM moving my online furniture around and making some changes. Stay tuned.

Are this week's strips about Kim's blog autobiographical, by any chance, Sandra? Your small but loyal coterie of fans would be sorry to see the blog go down, but (sniff) we'll muddle through somehow... :)
Seriously, though, blogs are supposed to be fun - if it's just another chore, then it's not fun. You've got enough to do without more chores!

Sandra, I just wanted to say that I am LOVING this week's series, with Susan having to keep track of everything even when her family is trying to help. My laughter may be ever-so-slightly bitter, but is real nonetheless - as the resident keep-track-of-things-person in my house, these strips are really resonating with me!! HIGHLY enjoyable. :)

Always fun to see another cartoonist's set up. Thanks, Sandra!

Oooooooh, looks GREAT! It's so satisfying to see a project come together.

Love it! I have a similar color of red in my back entry :-) It looks like a great space for getting a lot done!

Where do you keep the trap door with the alligators?
