Art Studio

I clearly need to take better pictures here, but loving to paint myself I decided that Lady Anastasia was a lover of the arts and dabbled in painting, so I built her a pretty place to relax and

I started with the chaise because every artist needed a chaise for models to recline on right? I had some lovely yellow fabric I used on the walls and a spectacular yellow sari fabric that I used for upholstery on the chaise. I paired it with a dark red maroon for accents

Although I bought the little artist box online, I made the paintbrushes you see and the table it sits on. I also found a painting online of a Cavalier king Charles Spaniel – the best dog in the world and this looked just like my sweet Coco – so it had to be mine LOL

The real Coco lays at my feet in the office or the craft room snoring like a tractor🙂

I made a screen and an easel, added a mirror some sconces and a “still Life” table. The ceiling was a beautiful Chinese fabric that I framed with card stock painted gold.

I love it! What a perfect little place to hide away and do your own thing 🙂
