Studio Before and After

I've been working in the evenings to find some kind of order in the space now known as Shelly's Studio. I used to have about three art spaces (some of which even had windows {sigh}), but now it's all shoved into one area in the basement. It has taken a while to recover from all that shoving and sadness over losing my real windows.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who can see any difference between the "before" and the "after", but I'm still happy with the progress.

The "Before" (AKA total and completely unusable chaos)The "After" (somewhat less chaos and fairly usable)
Harper even has a space to work (the dark table on the left), and eventually there's even space (further to the left) that already has some work tables where I might (if I can find people who are interested around here) even teach small classes someday. There's a little kitchen (ok, only a bar, sink and little fridge, but still cute for refreshments) and a nice bathroom over there too. We'll see... :)
