studio progress & seasonal flowers …

We are slowly getting settled into our new

“Bainbridge Island Studios”

. . . . .

Our Art Studio, which is right next door to my Design Studio

is finally getting it’s last coat of paint in my all time favorite true white color …

Benjamin Moore – “Super White”

It has always been my go-to white when I don’t want to see any traces of other colors.

I think it is the perfect color for this space as I want it to be all about the art …

and not necessarily about the space.

I am happy with the way the space is coming together

but there is still lots of work to be done!

We need to add an art sink, a clean up area, more storage cabinets,

and lots of shelving needs to be installed …

not to mention that the restroom which needs to be remodeled!

It seems like the list goes on and on …

So – until I can actually get in here and start playing around a bit with some art …

I have decided to bring in some beautiful seasonal flowers

to brighten up the space!

And flowers – well … they always make me HAPPY!!

I am especially loving all the cabbages and kales you can find this time of year!!

And – you don’t have to do a huge amount of planting to make them look good …

just stick them is a cool pot and you are good to go!!

The plants you see here came mostly from

“Thistle Floral and Home”

which is owned by my dear friend Shannon Castillo.

“Paint Like a Pro” workshops for 2015 …

New furniture workshops planned for 2015 …

Komedal Road - Paint Like a Pro Workshop - Furniture

Our recent “Paint like a Pro” workshop by Louisa Blackmore from West Egg was so much fun and such a huge success

that we have decided to bring her back again this next March – 2015.

The Paint Like a Pro workshop is an informative two day weekend workshop that focuses on furniture painting,

furniture restoration, simple upholstery techniques and decorative finishes.

Komedal Road - Paint Like a Pro Workshop - Deb - Michael

What I especially loved about this particular workshop is that each person brings their own furniture pieces to work on.

The workshops are also kept rather small so that each person has some individual one-on-one time with Louisa

on their own individual furniture pieces.

All supplies and materials are provided to complete your project.  And a sit down lunch and other light refreshments

are also served throughout both days.

Currently – this two day workshop is available for two different weekends in March of next year. The first workshop is the weekend of March 7th and 8th … and the second workshop is the weekend of March 14th and 15th.

Please be sure to sign up early as there has been much interest in these workshops since the last one …

and there is limited space for each workshop.

Space for the workshops can be purchased directly through our online shop – here!

 

Even the local dog came by for a visit …

Happy Fall to everyone …
