The Art Room



Nothing beats having a room in the house called "The Art Room".
There is no shortage of art supplies here.
My little artists have everything they could need at their fingertips.


For some reason I love clear jars. It's a bonus that displaying supplies this way eliminates the searching or trying to remember where things were stored. 


These handy caddies were meant to be herb planters.
I found them in the garden section at Kirklands and grew some crayons and stuff instead.




The walls are painted a very light gray (Sherwin Williams - Cold Morning).
One of my current obsessions is spray painting and repurposing items instead of buying anything new.
I found a few white spraying painting projects in this room....
the shelves, table, stools, pots, cubbies (pretty much everthing). I like the way the colorful art supplies look against the light walls and all that white.

  1. OH, this is magnificent. We are preparing to convert our upstairs gameroom into an artroom. The space you have created is beautiful and inspiring. I love how your supplies are all visible, without being overly cluttered. I also love how those very narrow shelves offer tons of storage without taking up too much space. Love everything about this room!

    I was also interested in your comment about all the white. I considered bright green counter tops for an island in the middle of the room, but wondered if I would tire of a bright color in there, and also if it would "fight" against some of the work. Seeing the white in your space makes me rethink a really bold color.

    Anyway, originally found your blog looking for a birch tree craft to do with my daughter, but glad I stumbled upon your art room too. Great blog!
