Art Nest - Progress


These were all pulled from Instagram, and were taken on my phone, so the photos are not very good.  But I thought you guys might like to see some of the progress I have made in my building.  If you didn't see the before, check it out here.  It's come a long way!  Above is my space with furniture moved in, before I brought all my supplies in to sort them.

Here's a shot of one of the peg boards I put up.  I don't have sheet rock, and the panels are very thin, so I didn't have anything to hang paintings on.  I went to Lowe's and bought two pegboards, had them trimmed down, and painted them white.  Now I can rotate my art out and hang some of my tools too.


My hoots!  They have moved since this picture.


My table with nothing on it.  I prefer it this way, lots of room to work.  It's junked up at the moment.


I actually moved this cool dress form out and put it back in my house.  It is awesome, but I really don't have the space for it in my tiny little nest.


Bring in the junk!  I brought a lot of supplies and tools and stuff in to sort.  Boy I sure did have a mess for about a week in there!!!


I had another pegboard and put it up here so I could hang this cool display case.  I'll probably store some finished pieces in here.  


Stuff on my desk.  I thought I would like having things on my desk, but I really don't.  Now I have to figure out where I will put all of this.


Storage containers dressed up a bit and labeled.  I really like how they turned out!


I like this little corner!  There's not much room in here, so getting a good picture is kinda tough.


This corner needs work!  I'll be taking out that little table to the far left, moving everything over, and putting in a roll cart to hold my kiln and the items on my desk.  I'm in the process of painting that dollhouse.  It was mine when I was a little girl, but it got very rusted and scratched up and needed to be repainted.  Not sure what I will do with it yet.


Here's my kiln on it's temporary table.  I love being able to use this any time I want!


Thanks for taking a little peek into my artsy world!  If you want to keep an eye on updates between posts, follow me on Instagram.  Later!

  3. Thank you both! Valerie, I had to make do for a while too, seemed like forever! I slowly expanded as I had more room, and the building has been a blessing because I had put all my stuff up and had to get it out as I needed something. Now I have a place where I can make a mess and leave it! Hope you have a space like that one day soon. Maria, thank you! I had most of these pieces for craft show displays, so it all worked out well together. Thanks for stopping by and commenting ladies!
