other side of my studio

these photos were taken the first part of May...
as we put the room back together....
last month I posted about the sewing side of the room....

I had to have a shot of the bare furniture...
and as we added things back to the room....

these are new storage containers that are terrific...
I use them for my stamps, inks, papers, etc...
the mirrored wall behind reflects the outside patio....

this room has a lot of light from all the windows...

My cuttlebug and big shot and another storage container...
I have a lot packed into this room...
and it is a fun place to play...
Smiles and hugs....Caryl
