We got half the carpet pulled up in my studio on Mon nite. It was a lot of work.  Had to move all the furniture over to one side, cut  the carpet and pad, and then rip into pieces and put in garbage bags. Whoever installed it went  a little nail and glue crazy. We will have to use a scraper and some Goof Off to get the remaining sticky stuff off the cement. Will also have to cut off the top of the nails that are sticking up around the periphery of the room. If we try and pull them up, they bring up big chunks of the floor. If we try and pound them down, the cement cracks.

The area of the house I am claiming as my studio and office is actually the formal living and dining room. Together, they form a large L shape off the front entry. To somewhat separate the two spaces and leave my studio open, I created a room divider with canvas carts. I can access it from either side. It keeps both rooms from feeling too claustrophobic.

My office is in transition at the moment. Both my “desks” are something that were hand made. One is just a verithaned board attached to two file cabinets that I painted white and the other is a cannibalized computer desk that got a new top too. My intent was to form a functional U workstation. I hope to have it less “make -shift” soon. And those blah beige walls HAVE to go.

So things are coming along slowly but surely. It’s not looking good for getting the wall at this time. Just more than we can afford at the moment. I’ll have to make do using acrylics and water colors and pastels. Now that the carpet is gone( it acts as a large sponge) I don’t have to worry about spills and clean up. A shop vac does the trick!

Wow if I had a studio that Awesome I would be in seventh heaven... heehee.

I guess I am stuck with my little old drafting table in the corner of a room until I can get the rest of the house fixed up, but still my studio will not compare to yours... heehee.

I do love my Anime room though... I had a problem with the contractors the day they were in there. They got a little curd with what they were talking about... Will tell you about via IM when we get the chance to chat again... Do not want anyone thinking I am the one being crud...

Well see ya later...
