Omg I'm so glad to see you've come back. I love your videos. Your Paintings inspired me to start drawing my favorite foods and that became a good therapy for me. I was able to quit drinking and I started donating my food line art as coloring pages for my local AA and Alanon. Your art helped change my life for the better. Thank you, Dear!❤😊
I know that by now this is an older video, but I jst really, really missed you. In the beack of my mind I always wondered "hey, I'm not seeing Minnie anymore, what's going on there" till I finally had enough and looked for you again myself - algorhythms be danmed. I love the setup you did, I love how you explain your thought processes, I love the way you edit your videos - there's a touch of magic to it - and most of all I love and missed you honesty and transparency. I've been trying to create a creative working space for myself for far too long now, too, and this video definitely built my hopes back up. Thank you so much for being you!
I love that we are all coming to check every so often if we don't see any videos and then it is like a celebration when we get a new video. Can't believe that I've been following since 2017.
Thanks for that note at the end about how videos like this make it look easy, and so quick - it's nice to have a reminder to not compare your life/finances to a curated video. Love how your art studio turned out btw :)
Oh yay, so glad to see you are back Minnie! I have checked your channel regularly to see if there has been any new content. I am simply so thrilled to see there is a new video out and no better way to start with some redecorating. Love the redecorated studio and I bet it is feeling a lot more welcoming to you now and will be great for creative flow too. Much love and hugs to you. 💗
Thank you! I bought my first drill and I'm redoing my whole apartment. Even though my goal was to be done in 3 months, I realized that some DIYs will have to wait. Thanks for the virtual encouragement and congratulations!!! This is my first time seeing your content, so I'm subscribing so I can see more!
I really like how you decorated your studio. I like how you show that an art studio is not only functional but can be an attractive space as well. I would not have thought to go to so much trouble to create the flat files but, wow, they turned out amazing! I have to admit I was a bit disappointed you took out the Ikea shelving, as I have some similar ones and was looking forward to seeing what you did with yours. I got mine from a thrift store and included both the narrow and the wider shelves as well as a drawer unit, each drawer of which I painted in a different color. The shelves I painted with white chalk paint. Anyway, Thanks for a great video!
I've barely watched any creative vlogs over the last year because life just hasn't got me in that mood. So seeing you haven't uploaded on RUclips in 10 months feel appropriate 😅 Hope you're doing well and looking forward to seeing what you've been up to - Mandy Edit after watching...Ahh i remember watching you setting up your space...it's so satisfying watching you sort through everything. Something I've found over the last couple of years is that often the most beautiful and aesthetic items/storage are the least practical day to day ...we live and learn 🙌
SHE'S BACKKKK...🥺💙🥺💙🥺 Already am tearing up before even watching the video! 💕😭💕 Dude, I'm weeping like crazyyy wtf!!!! And it has nothing to do with the video... Love ya Minnie, been a f-ing while!!! 😭😱🤗 Also, count on Minnie to give you the most aesthetic and quality content with the most transparency, hella awesome video, what a Makeover...hats off!! 💙👌💙😱💕
What a lovely surprise to see you back . You made your studio so cozy , it takes time indeed as I am figuring out for a while now how to re-arrange my studio , try to declutter it and make it more "homely" (it is in my garden) certainly now in this colder period. Hope you are doing well and looking forward to your next video . All the best .
Wow the setup is absolutely stunning!! I’m so happy to see you on here again. I hope everything has been okay with you and your family! Wishing you all a great rest of the year 🙌🏾.
Oh my God! YOU ARE BACK! I'm so happy to see you again! I missed your videos so much, I hope you are doing good. Again, so so so so nice to see you again
Hi Minnie! I checked your channel a few weeks ago because I missed your videos and was actually using your book with a new sketchbook project, what a surprise to see two new ones today! Gonna grab a cup of tea to enjoy your company, hope you've been well - but I guess I'll find out more when I actually watch the video xD
Minnieeeeeee, I super missed you! Welcome back! Adulting happened and I haven't touched my art supplies in a long time, but seeing you back is inspiring! Looking forward to your vids!
Dear Minnie, so glad to see you on RUclips again. I have been thinking about you over the past few months or even year right? anyway you seem well and the room looks lovely. well done. :)
Thank you for the motivation! I love seeing your thought and decision making process, and appreciate the journey you've shown us here. I really need to take a leaf out of your book and get on to doing my space up!
I just found your channel. I have a small apartment and use part of the bedroom as my studio. I am always looking for ways to make it more efficient and esthetically pleasing, and on budget. Your studio turned out great. I look forward to seeing the one on organization.
Hi Minnie, how are you girl1? Hope everything is well with you and you loved ones! I'm so happy you're back on RUclips! It's like revisiting an old friend! Great video, can't wait to watch your new videos about organization (it's my addiction this kind of content, LOL!) Kisses from Brazil
😅😅😅 my 1st time seeing your RUclips channel. I’m happy to have discovered you! From reading the comments everyone missed you! I don’t know much about your channel yet! But, thank you for coming back! 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
Minnie really dropped a whole book and disappeared from the internet! I was fr worried about you. Glad to see it was a deliberate step away from social media. 💜
WHEN I TELL YOU I MISSED YOUR CHANNEL SO MUCH. Every other day, I would check and see if you have uploaded. Yessssssss this is what I’ve been waiting for. You are beyond valued in this community.
Oh wow!!! This morning I was thinking, "Where is Baby Sis Mini? What's she up to? Is she going to do anymore videos?" And, here you are! Welcome back! Where you been?! LOL!!! RE: Flat files - I started moving into my new studio back in May and desperately had to get another IKEA Alex. Not new though, they're too expensive now for the size, especially if you're refinishing them. I found mine on Facebook Market for $30. Then I made it my mission to get a professional 5-drawer metal map/architectural flat file for my extra large papers and works. I found one on Facebook Market for $275, instead of $500-$800 new. All that to say, artists look for studio furniture/storage online (and Thrift stores) before buying new at much higher costs. I was able to get an almost perfect Alex, 2 Brimnes, 5 Billy shelves (two tall ones with glass/wood doors) and an Ingatorp table on FB Marketplace all for under $225 instead of twice that had I gotten them new. Also IKEA needs to make the Alex wider and longer for larger papers/items. Just sayin... You should be able to get extra parts (free) from IKEA at the store instead of ordering online or by phone. Just take your receipt with you... Glad you're back!
Ah I wish I could find decent stuff on FB Marketplace! I've heard of people getting such great deals but I haven't had any luck yet. I'll keep trying though, I love a bargain! And the things you've found sound incredible!
Waaaah, I literally swung by your channel yesterday to see if I'd been missing your uploads. Saw you hadn't been around. Said aw. And then, today: badabing! Here's Minnie. Yay! So good to see you again :) Addendum after watching the video: Fantastic work and creativity in pimping your studio. I was sliiiightly dubious when you started cladding the drawers, but they turned out fab!
I've been in a recovery period from a not-scary surgery since October this year, which has forced me into a slow down that has been tough to take. And as I eat soup, tired from my day's exertions, it is absolutely feeding my soul to watch this. ❤
@@minniesmall Thank you!! I am already feeling a shift back to my usual energy, it's amazing how much time it takes to reset. I love your content and I'm so grateful you're able to share it with us!
Welcome back!!!!!!!!! I was wondering what happened from time to time. I would check Instagram and RUclips to see if there were any updates. I am glad to see you doing well!
So good to see you again! I've miss you and your videos. Your office look amazing! You're doing a magnificent job. Looking forward to your next video. 🤗
First time viewer! I’ve been on the hunt for (realistic) office makeovers and this is 100% the best one I’ve come across. I love the thoughtfulness and care you’ve taken in each piece you updated/added and it looks really lovely! Peaceful, calm, and also an actual place one would do work and be creative in.
I was so happy when i saw you posted this! I know you've chosen to keep most of your content on patreon and i am not currently in a position to subscribe to anyone one there but i was able to buy your book recently so at least i cold support you a little like that!

Your Paintings inspired me to start drawing my favorite foods and that became a good therapy for me. I was able to quit drinking and I started donating my food line art as coloring pages for my local AA and Alanon.
Your art helped change my life for the better.
Thank you, Dear!❤😊
Do you have a page? Would love to support. Officially 1 year sober and arting has been such a healthy coping mechanism/alternative ♥️
Congratulations to both of you on your sobriety 💪 Thank you so much for sharing, and for being here to support my work! 💛

I do declare as I live and breathe it is Minnie. I am glad you are doing well.

MINNIE! Yippee, so glad to see you!
I have missed your videos so much! Does this mean that you're back on youtube? Your vlogs and painting videos are so fun. 😍
I've barely watched any creative vlogs over the last year because life just hasn't got me in that mood. So seeing you haven't uploaded on RUclips in 10 months feel appropriate 😅 Hope you're doing well and looking forward to seeing what you've been up to - Mandy

Ah, glad to know it wasn't just me who wasn't watching a lot of creative content this year 😅
I've missed you so much!!!
More painting vlogs and expaining your process too... truly any insight into your mind and art.
SHE'S BACKKKK...🥺💙🥺💙🥺 Already am tearing up before even watching the video! 💕😭💕
