Care to peek inside my studio?

As many of you know, Mr. Cobblestone and I recently 

moved from WI to Maine ~ and are loving it!  

One of the perks of our new house is my studio room, 

which had been a small bedroom tucked up 

under the roof of our cape cod style house.  

It is not exactly the way I want it just yet, so I won't 

be showing you everything here.  

When it is done, I'll try to post one of 

those fancy-schmancy 360 videos for you.  

But over the past weekend, we hung some 

new cabinets that Mr. Cobblestone made for me 

from shutters that used to hang in the dining 

room (ugh!) ~ that Holly Hobby style just 

did not suit our taste (see photo at end).

The large window in the room has been flanked by 

two of the new cabinets.  The shelf under the window 

holds many of the furry friends and trinkets I have 

received from artists from all over the world that I 

have met online.  Seeing them each day makes me 

smile ~ as do the prototypes of my mice from 

all those years ago. 

I think I've improved, don't you?  

Did you spy my toolbox in the lower corner?

Two smaller cabinets are on this wall, next to the 

door we made into the 'closet' under the roof.  

It's a great place for storage bins full of fabric.

 Here are those cabinets opened to 

show some of my teacup collection waiting 

for little potbelly mice to reside in them.

Two more cabinets by the door into the room.

 

There was a built in desk in the room 

when we moved in ~ a perfect 

spot for my sewing machine.

I added the skirt underneath made from the curtains 

that used to hang on the windows in this room

(Scarlet would be so proud!) 

and the cork boards to the closet doors.

The closets have shelves with smaller bins

that hold my fabric, wools, ribbons, etc

carefully sorted by color and type.

And here is a pic of the dining room with the shutters.  

They as well as the plate rail and tiny blue valence 

were one of the first things I took down when we moved in. 

Fabric for new drapery is still leaning 

in a corner of an upstairs bedroom.  

Sigh . . . someday . . .
