If you follow me on Pinterest, you know that I do a lot of studio-coveting.  I spend a ridiculous amount of time daydreaming about a large, light-filled space out in the country.  This dream studio is preferably beside a creek or river.

okay okay, so I'm not quite sure how it will be "light-filled" beneath that massive tree canopy, but whatever. It's my dream studio.
I would also *settle* for this location.
The dream studio is also well-organized - a gorgeous, streamlined space that is well considered and tidy.   Like this...
NOT this...

studio of Francis Bacon...yikes.
This space also comes with an endless amount of storage, of course!  

I have been racking my brain on how to improve our small, in-home studio.  I am very grateful for the space that I do have, but with both Derek and myself working/storing in there, it is simply not large enough.  No amount of organizing and space-saving will do.  So.  We are considering taking down the wall that currently separates our master bedroom from our office and turning it into one room - our new studio!  We will be moving our bedroom into our current studio.  It will be cramped, but it's a sacrifice that Derek and I are willing to make.  (Who needs a large room to sleep in, anyway??)  On the other hand, we absolutely DO need a bigger space to create in, and I am so excited about the possibilities the larger room would provide!
