Art Room Creation
It has been a lot of work and we have done it all ourselves, and I am really, really please with it!
first coat of paint. We could not do the ceilings until the plumbing for the 2 bathrooms was done, so it stayed like this until we could buy all the fixtures for the bathroom and could get the plumber in..

Great attitude ~ you should be very proud of your accomplishment! It was a huge undertaking and it looks awesome!
great use of every little space
such a pretty room. love the colors and shelves.
We did ours the opposite way. We finished and lived in our basement a few years while we saved up working two full time jobs and running a business on the side to have the money to build the house upstairs. Boy was that an experience but like you I loved every minute of it except for mudding and sanding the drywall. YUK! I would still do it all over again regardless of all the work but not so sure hubby would. LOL Learned a lot and have what you want in the end not someone else's dream but your own. From the look of your girly room your house is going to be beautiful. And yes I do think you and I are a lot alike.
This is absolutely positively beautiful!!
This is one of THE most spectacular room transformations I have EVER seen on Hometalk! Wow! I absolutely love the new room. I love the paint color, the little added touches above the closet doors that match some painting done on the furniture which helps tie mismatched furniture together. The storage in this room is every crafter's dream. The big table in the room allows projects-in-progress to be left out, rather than have to be stowed away before finished. I absolutely cannot think of anything that I would want to change! This is a room I could spend many hours crafting and creating in! Well done!
I love it. Wow you two are amazing. Just to have the dream an then see it come together must make you 2 proud. Can you help me I'm under how to arrange furniture in master bedroom. I have no creative gene well I have a little but I hate the work involved I would rather pay. I need overhead lighting and how to blend bedroom furniture with one side of there room for my husband's desk and mine so I can get the creative genes flowing . There are just to many ideas that I love on this site and I can't get motivated in that room. It's 12by20. Just a rectangle. I have moved the heavy bed so often that my husband never knows what he is coming home to and the there is the living room. That's a whole other story. But I want bookcases like yours and color I love color but I want to respect my husband sharing the room. It's neutral now not bad but boring. Please someone out there help. I love that feminine room it's a dream. Enjoy it once your muscles rest. Goodness I wish you were my neighbor. 👍👍👍👍
Could you share a picture of your room? Seeing it gets my ideas flowing. I solved my sons decorating dilemma in their master bedroom by suggesting what I call a mutual colour - feminine but masculine too. A light mint green seems to be a colour men and women find good for bedrooms, and it goes well with grays and white. Then if you have book cases, you can paint the backs with a darker shade of green - same tone - but deeper. Send a photo and I will try to give you more ideas!
Wow! What a makeover!!! It's gorgeous and your husband was OK with the girlie color? You are really an artist!!!
The room looks great!! I had a message on my Moonflower project for you from ilbeingu: Teresa offered to send me some (wool sock stretchers) and I can't figure out how I respond to her. My eddress is: ilbeingu@yahoo.com
Teresa, that is such a cool art room! What a lot of work, though. Yikes! You have everything you need now - windows, great bookcases and lots of storage. Well done!
Go create!
