I'd rather create than organize my studio.<br /> But, I will say this... you will end up finding something you forgot you had, and that is always a treat! :]aprilmariecole.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10863444336112542439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2055079778747916101.post-18071606181903856402010-05-11T05:54:21.465-04:002010-05-11T05:54:21.465-04:00It looks like you really need to do a lot of clean...It looks like you really need to do a lot of cleaning and arrangements. <br />Good luck!Jobshttp://www.jobsjobsjobs.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2055079778747916101.post-81625658563966573222010-04-29T15:17:40.052-04:002010-04-29T15:17:40.052-04:00First I feel your funk.

Not sure why that happens, but sometimes you just have to give your mind a rest I think.<br /><br />Second, Oh how i wish I lived nearby, I would so organize for you. :) I actually like doing it, and I bet there are tons and tons of goodies in those boxes. It would be like Christmas opening it all up and seeing what's inside. <br /><br />Third, I think a desk in the middle of the room sounds like a great idea. A nice good size one, so you can spread out. Plus like someone already said, a chair with wheels, so you can zoom around and get art supplies. :)<br /><br />Good luck to you!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04409993049674941404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2055079778747916101.post-33419387263814175812010-04-28T15:53:19.551-04:002010-04-28T15:53:19.551-04:00Ohboy, we have a lot in common right now, both the...Ohboy, we have a lot in common right now, both the messy room and the funk. Now that I wrote that I wonder if the two are connected?! Maybe I'll clean up a little bit tonight and see if I feel any better tomorrow!

Just choose one section to tidy up today--you can't get that great table in there until you have some room for it!! And don't be too hard on your self--artists need time to rejuvenate--flowers don't bloom all the time--that little seed stays in the dark underground for awhile gather all the nourishment before it starts to sprout.Janet Ghiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00168035336091339448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2055079778747916101.post-694742320198572092010-04-25T09:33:07.049-04:002010-04-25T09:33:07.049-04:00Oh, how I'd love to rummage through all your s...Oh, how I'd love to rummage through all your supplies! Looks like there is a lot of buried treasure in there! <br /><br />I recently wrote a post on organising my studio space. Personally, I have to have some semblance of order to create. Obviously it gets messy while I'm working, but overall I need things tidy and organised so I can lay my hands on supplies quickly and easily.Carinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03950410908460825107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2055079778747916101.post-25481296743721232252010-04-25T09:12:12.369-04:002010-04-25T09:12:12.369-04:00Wow, your room is fabulously messy!

Be more consistent.<br /><br />Paula when my studio is a mess I have a hard time creating. Mind you, it gets very, very messy during, but I like to start in at least a fairly organized space. <br /><br />From the looks of it you have wonderful organizing containers!!! I think you would love it organized - and the table in the middle works best for me. I have a table on against the wall for my printer and stuff, but for working I like the table in the middle.<br /><br />And for you 31 journal, don't sweat it. Make a 32 one!!!! :)<br /><br />Hugs!!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15425904812918507490noreply@blogger.com
