Room Makeover & Studio Tour
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 мар 2024
- Studio Reset & Room Makeover this week in my studio. And, the creation of a beautiful, much-needed (!) boho office space. Let's make some space! Organise, declutter, spring clean with me with a no spend approach! In fact, I didn't spend a penny! Let's get into all the dusty corners, nooks and crannies, sweep the floors and simplify a very chaotic art studio space. I really hope you enjoy the video and maybe it inspires you to reorganise your spaces too! Feel free to tag me on Instagram with your before / after pics & let's chat in the comments too! Thank you so much for watching & keeping me company in this little corner of RUclips. Biggest Loves, Softest, Hugs, Wendy. Xxs

I don’t often comment but wanted to say how truly lovely your relationship with James is , a few years ago we saw James in the car park of Morrisons and he admired our motorbike, I didn’t say hello as I wasn’t sure it was him , anyway since then my partner and I were hit by a car changing lanes without looking while on the bike , thankfully my partner was okay i but I’ve sustained life changing injuries. Since the accident my parter has been truly amazing taking care of me and watching you and James work together it made me want to say how very blessed we are ❤
Sorry to hear about your accident. Glad you have support and hope you recuperate fully ❤
Oh I do hope you’re on the turn getting better…🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
so sorry to hear about your injuries after an accident! May you recover with some unexpected miracles ! I'm so glad you have your partner taking good care of you xxxxx we are blessed indeed! xxx If you see us again don't hesitate to come say hi!!! xxxxx big loves
You will be healed completely
😊
I was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia two years ago (or thereabouts) and I am also asthmatic Wendy. I agree it can be a challenge to cope with. Self compassion and self care are a must when we don't feel our best. Art and creativity are an essential part of our lives.
I love your studio/creative space Wendy 😍 one day soon I will have my own. Some excellent storage ideas and James is definitely a keeper ❤
James is such a cool hearted person with the nicest voice. You're a lucky lady Wendy. Thanks for sharing him & your cozy space.
Oh. My. Stars. James is a fine man, kind, patient, and willing to do anything to help you. You are a fortunate woman, and i wish you two many years of happiness ahead. Yes indeed, he is a keeper!
thankyou so much! he truly is such a wonderful soul mate xxx I'm very blessed indeed!! xxx
Sweet Wendy, you are both blessed to have each other ❤️❤️@@theunexpectedgypsy
Congratulations 👏 it's nice to see the award from you tube hung up. Your workshop looks fantastic, I love the zoning and the more organised placemdnts of the plant babies, loads of green surrounding the office area and book nook, good for thinking and calming. It was lovely to watch this video, very therapeutic and inspiring.
I have a garage full of stuff that requires the same treatment and I said to my hubby the other day that we need to let go of some of the old stuff we have accumulated over the past 10 years.
It feels very much like a time of cleansing and moving on, ready for our new stories to evolve.
Kudos to James for the inspired shelving.
Well done guys 🎉💚💛🩷🪽🌟
The Cardboard King strikes again! James is a lovely and loving partner. It does seem like you and I are on the same wavelength - I am just going through the same process! My studio is the entire living space of the fairly large "cabin" that I live in (it used to be a community hall for a very small community) and it was time to reorganize things to make it feel more spacious and less cluttered, and by some magic it now feels about 3 times as large! I, too, did a no-spend transformation, and got rid of some furniture, condensed a few things to make it all work better, and moved things around for better flow. Like you, I need to SEE the materials I have and not hide them away. The process has been fun and creative, and inspiring! Happy playing in your studio!
That daybed IS GLORIOUS! 😍
Yes im very similar. I prefer things where i can see them not hidden away just so other people can feel happy about my space 😊 ❤
Your studio space is like my dream studio: cozy, inviting, with large windows and lovely light streaming through, it's just such a wonderful space. And even more so now after your reorganization; everything flows so nicely and naturally. Thank you for sharing your world with us; you are my favorite corner of RUclips. ❤
yes the room alone is soooo pretty! i'm sooo lucky to have it!! xxxxx and thankyou! FAv corner of youtube is a big compliment indeed!!! xxxxx blushing now±± tee hee
I love the flow of your workspace now with the art areas in an L shape like the room. I couldn't help but mentally organize it all when you first moved in and this is actually very close to how I originally envisioned it. I would take so many naps on that daybed.
This new configuration has really opened up the space and the energy flow of the room!! I like it.
thankyou blossom xxxxx me too!
Wendy, I have been watching you for a long time and I just love how your studio keeps evolving as you evolve. As we shift and change through life’s seasons, our space becomes a place of reflection. It’s reminded me that I too can evolve and change as my life changes, my artwork should evolve too, instead of becoming stagnant. I love your gentle reminder that it’s ok to not be ok sometimes. Our light shines through, always. 🩷
James is such a wonderful helper and support. You are one very lucky lady. We all need a James in our lives. Sending love to you both.
"Move the energy around" I love that!
Studio looks wonderful! I like the balance you’ve created between having things out and having space. Floor space is very nice. Wendy, you are a superstar. Always love these videos with all your words of encouragement and positivity! ⭐️🤩⭐️
It’s so energizing when we reorganize, clean and purge. Glad you’re healing and feeling a bit better., I too have fibromyalgia, it’s such a weird disease isn’t it, and I agree with you, folks do not understand it, one day I feel great, the next day I might not be able to move. It’s hard to explain and impossible to predict. 🤯. I love to see you and James working together. You two make a fantastic pair. ❤️❤️. Your studio looks great!!!
I will echo the messages about James. So much love between yous makes me smile ear to ear. I have a divine love too and I’m so grateful for him. Not a day goes by that I don’t cherish him. Truly beautiful. Celebrating your love! Celebrating your office nook, im in love with the French daybed. Sublime. Your space is looking absolutely wonderful. Happy to have watched its transformation. Celebrating you! Your new home, re design studio, and living an Art life!! Truly blessed. Congratulations you deserve it all!!! ❤
I'm only at 3:50 and I'm already smiling. You two are like spring birds and I love watching you fluff the energy in your world! ❤
I love what you have done with the space esp the calm , cosy office space and the shop shelves. Thanks to The Cardboard King for giving us some great ideas. I am a multi media artist too with chronic health and it is so important to be organised. Thank-you for taking the time to document your process, Wendy.
Hi Wendy❤ I love how you change your spaces around. I have too many plant babies in my art room but I love them all so much! I too love having my supplies out where I can see them! Sometimes I get frustrated with feeling like my space is just too cluttered but it's all my "stuff" and I love it all! Thanks for sharing!
Love from Susan in AZ🥰🏜️
Wow, Wendy, you are sweet, funny, and a massive ray of sunshine! You really inspire me with art, decluttering, and poems I never used to think of poems before until I saw your channel. 🥰🧚♂️🌄 James is amazing! Blessings to you and James.
James is an absolute Star! 🌟 You’ve both such lovely personalities. ✨️✨️ The art studio is wonderful, and your art work is stunning, Wendy.
I recognize lots of things you said; I have hypermobility-EDS. If I sit and journal for long my neck hurts so bad.
Wishing You & James a very nice week. 💚
/Ditte 🤓 🇸🇪
James is so wonderful, can t believe how he goes away all week working then never hesitates to help out with the business at weekends he never complains he's so laid back. Bless him, the work room looks amazing. I miss you both so much inbetween videos. Sending peace and love xxx
he is sooo generous with his time ! I am very blessed indeed! sorry you miss me inbetween videos! I am on Instagram and the FB in between ! xxx
big loves and peace and love to you too ! x
Love the lounging couch with white wall, it really creates nice negative space, a breathing space . I need a lot of white space in my studio, because all those important things just become clutter, which distracts my brain while I’m thinking . Well done WENDY
I love how you and James work so well together. I absolutely love this new space ya'll created for yourselves. James is the cardboard king for sure. Have an amazing day. Please tell James hello. Sending love and big hugs Sherry ❤❤❤
will do Sherry!! big loves to you too!!!! xxxxx
What wonderful self-care for you, Wendy. It's a lot of work and so worth it! Beautiful remake of your space.
Super make-over of your studio/office space. All the plant babies look happy.
I love me some good cardboard... boxes included.
Props 🙌🏼 to your “Cardboard King”📦🤴🏻on his ingenuity and creativity. Impressive, indeed. 👏🏼
So happy to see the two of you planning and recreating your studio, it feels better even all the way across the pond🇨🇦!!
It’s so good to see you looking after one another🤗
Hoping to see you again soon 🥰🤗 your vlog has been a soft place for me to land when my world goes wonky, thank you for all that you do☀️🫶🏼🫶🏼🌈
Thanks SO much for the encouragement and inspiration. You are just so lovely. Thanks for keeping us company! ❤🎉😊
"moving the energy around" thank you, I needed that 😂❤
BoxMan James and his prototypes. Love it!
Thankyou Wendy for your gentle support and advice. I’m currently in the process of selling my flat and buying a tiny bungalow with a garden. I’m definitely going to have to a sort out of my stuff and this time of year always seems to get me all fidgety 😬 my art is what gets me through the tough times as well as the good times. Some very impressive upgrades from the Cardboard King 👑👍🏻✨🙏🏻
I reckon James would make a great carpenter, i would certainly be interested to see him progress from cardboard to wood :) your videos really help brighten my day, even when I'm struggling so thank you x
Love your studio. I love the way James is always coming up with ideas to make your visions come to life. Bravo!
i sooo agree with other comments here about James being so wonderful. Also, I completely agree with having things available, in your sight... for me out of sight is out of mind and I completely forget about things! I think the creative spirit needs its "stuff" ...supplies, but also the organizational aspect is so important. Yay you!! :-)
Dear Wendy, whenever I see your videos, I remember that I actually want to be creative. My heart knows it, but I can't do it 😢 I hope I can do it soon. Thank you for being a wonderful role model for me❤
just start with some baby steps, Play with the materials you've got already. When you lose track of time, you'll know you're There!
I think we all put too much pressure on ourselves to "be creative". Just take some materials that appeal to you and give yourself permission to play. This is just for you, not the judgment of others, so it doesn't matter what the end product looks like as long as you enjoy the process. As a friend of mine says, "it's just art supplies". Hugs to you. You can do this.
Me too. I used to be creative.
Ahhhhh. You two together make for a double=happiness kind of video! Love you both. ❤❤❤❤
love back and thankyou so much xxx
Nice new arrangement bringing in fresh energy to the space! That daybed is a great piece of furniture, love the style. You and James are so perfect together working as a team - you’ve got a keeper there. Happy Spring! 🌸🌺🌼🌿🌱🌞
Inspiring the spring clean and moving of things. When I get back from visiting family I will crack on in my own spring clean. Got an old armchair that needs throwing out and will clear up well needed space and create a better flow. I work from home as no studio space in Lincoln. I do prefer everything out to function, apparently I am a Butterfly, but alas don’t have the space to do that. But maybe once I go through stuff I will find more space to move things. Definitely agree best not to do everything at once, as creates overwhelm, and I have got a lot to go through. Wonderful to see you both you and James working together, what a team you make. We could all do with a partner like that. Thanks for sharing
"use what you have-ist!!" Love that.
James reminds me of my Other Half so much, always supportive and kind (and very good with DIY :)
Hi. Wendy. I am a great fan of seasonal decluttering! I clear out different rooms in my home at New Year, at Easter and before Winter. I give loads of books and clothes to charity. I have only a few ornaments...a,little blue jug from Grandfather's house. A little Buddha my late husband gave me. A beautiful marble couple embracing which a friend gave me while I was deeply bereaved. My only clutter is my dining table which is my art studio...now that I am teaching myself to paint. You are such an inspiration to me! Painting is very, very healing.....It is now my Passion. ❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I absolutely love this Angelique, thankyou so much for sharing. Sending much loves to you with all your special things and happy painting!! It truly does heal the weary soul! xxx
wonderful change for you and for us as viewers! I have a studio area in my basement for 9 years this may in this home and I've been changing it around in the last year! Using what I had, painting some old furniture removing old furniture, and I think as it is getting to be nicer weather and spring is in the air, I'm inspired by you to change up more, and get some healthy plants and give some much needed love to my existing plants! thanks so much for your great videos I really enjoy following along ! xo happy easter lori
I LoVE the new Feng Shui of your studio❣️ Totally get what you’re going for- it’s what I’m always questing to create in my studio too. Spacious look and feel but yet cozy, and still well stocked w/ supplies mostly out and visible so I know what I have to use. Thanks for the inspiration as well as the realism of what it takes to re-Shui the Feng as a Creative❣️ namaste, Wendy 🙏🏼🤓🪶
What fabulous ideas for recycling delivery boxes! Although I use them as storage, it's not James' type of storage. It's just a box with stuff in. James has taken it to a whole new level, and it's brilliant!! Am going to take note and use my boxes in better ways from this moment on. Thank you both! xxx 🥰
I love their relationship. There is affection and James just steps in, comes up with ideas and uses his skills. They obviously love each other and that can be rare in the modern world, Also, I really like the blank wall. I did art in an apartment where to my left I had a sliding glass door to a balcony where I had bird feeders and hummingbird feeders. I would pause in my work and gaze out the door and watch the birds come and go. It recharged me. Having floor space helps open the mind to life. It is part of the journey.
I love the refresh❤❤❤the new nook space has such a cozy womb-like atmosphere to it.🥰
I woke up with a rejig in mind for my own sewing space which i've been working on for a little while now. I'm off to do my own spring refresh!!!🌺🙌🏻Thanks for sharing your real non-AI life with us!!! xoxo
I think you are matched so wonderful. I love seeing the care that you both give each other. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
One of my favorite quotes by William Morris...
“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful. “
Something I aspire to, but have yet to manage. 😉 It’s a work in progress for sure.
Love your studio. It's so bright and light. Such a wonderful creative space.
Wonderful make over Wendy! I use box shelving similar to James's designs. It's so important to move the energy around in your workspace every now and then. James is such a great support. Love you guys! 💖
Love watching you organize my ocd is a cause for my spring cleanup and constant organizing! Thank you! Miss the beautiful music! Love you!!
The room is so cozy with bits and bobs 😉. And James so patient and what a good idea those cardboard boxes. I’m going to remember that 😃.
I reorganize my studio about twice a year. Also I love having zones! Knitting zone, artwork zone, and ceramics zone:) Moving all my stuff around is absolutely my therapy. ALL THE TIME! Haha Seeing other studios is my favorite! I love your space! It’s very inspiring:)
Your Peace Lilly’s are beautiful! I have to also comment on your hair, it really is pretty! And James is wonderful to you, he is a keeper!! Keep inspiring, we love you! 🦋
Hi Wendy, I just wanted to say, I've been away from home for a few years in a different country and watching your videos feels like home (as I am also from England) the area and just how you talk gives me comfort xx🫶🏻🥲
Hooray for revamping the space. Looks great and refreshing! 😊
I am so glad you are happy. As you know I have had fibromyalgia for over 20 years and its been a tough journey but now I have improved and don't have as much pain so getting better is possible. Good on you for driving again. Arohanui from me in Aotearoa New Zealand ❤❤❤
Such a lovely inspiring art room.. love the daybed… and the blank wall juxtaposed to the rest of the supplies, etc. office space is quite nice and simple yet efficient use of all there… the mirror and plants are a healthy vibe as well as James’ efficient design of storing and you are such a delight.. Aloha from Hawaii
Looks so much more balanced and freeing, great job.
OOOHHHHH!!!! I'm totally in love with that daybed!!!!
Brilliant. I need to clear my weaving studio/sewing room. I will be watching this again.
I love moving things around, it just freshens your energy and perspective.
James is definitely a keeper! And you two are so cute together ❤
I love this video. You give me inspiration to get on with what I need to do. I have depression and fibromyalgia and I spend the energy I have digging out art supplies then I don't have a lot of energy to actually create. So I think I will get my art supplies out like you did so I can use my energy for creating. He's so nice to help you. Hope yall have a great week.😊
I love James creative solutions and helpful ideas.
James ‘s homemade shelving units are GENIUS 😋
They really are!
so fun to watch. James is a treasure!!
Love your new space with work areas. So open with lots of energy❤
Your space is looking great Wendy. I think with all creative pursuits we embrace, we go through that initial need to try a bit of everything. In photography that might mean buying lots of different lenses and trying different subjects and styles until we hit on that magic thing that sings to us and then we start to pare away all the excess bits that we've collected and try to find that creative essence without all the extra clutter. I've been through that with photography and I'm now on that journey with my art. I've discovered that some materials cause sensory issues for me, either through smell or texture. So oil paints and sticky oil pastels are now out for me, but I've discovered watercolor and gouache and drawing with calligraphy pens and so many other things that I do enjoy, that the loss of a few mediums won't hold me back. Sometimes I find too many choices overwhelming anyway. I can't decide what medium to use so I end up using none of them. Less is definitely better and I can't wait to get to the stage where I know my favorite mediums and can start weeding out my excess supplies and curating my space into zones and happy spaces like yours.
What a brilliant refresh! Spacious AND cozy AND functional! Inspiring! The cardboard shelves James created are awesome! And I’ve never seen two people sweeter than you and James. ❤❤❤
I really do enjoy watching you and James you're so creative and so is he making the shelves for you what a great guy anyway I love what you did to the space it's amazing❤
Love all the zones you created! Love your plant babies that surround you! So nice and clean - you have made a space to let your creativity flow! Jill
Wendy your floor space looks more spacious and your creative space increased, great tranformation.💚
Such a lovely studio space. Love what you’ve done with the refresh. Always enjoy coming along with you to your studio. TY for sharing❣️
I’m with you....must have ALL THE THINGS OUT AND AVAILABLE when creating. Can be quite the challenge. 😉💚xo
James you're a keeper. wow you two have been busy. I should be doing the same thing but after watching you doing all that work I'm going to have to rest for a couple of days lol. your plant Babies grow like crazy. mine needs more light. since my hubby passed away last November my stuff is my stuff has taken over, I think its like comforting to have it all around even sometimes I feel I have to much stuff. one day I will be ready to rearrange my world but not yet. take care of each other
Oh your Daybed is in the BEST spot. I adore this refresh and James is definitely The Cardboard King. 😊
Perfect layout, loving the details which i shall be incorporating into my clean-up of my studio. You are such an inspiration... thank you for sharing your life. I love James' creation too, watching him making the storage boxes was so new, so fantastic. Thank you ❤❤
Oh it looks fabulous this way! I love you have placed all the spaces this way with room for dancing or stretching too. It really looks charming and cozy while completely functional at the same time.
Love this video and how sweet both you and James are. Please don't apologize for not overtaxing your body. I have fibromyalgia too and it's not worth a few hours of overdoing to end up in a flare for days. Hugs to you and hope you're feeling better soon.
Thank you Wendy for another inspiring video. I spring cleaned a drawer and am thrilled!
In this same energy the last couple of days! Taking a break and this video pops up! Nice to see your process and keep my figuring going while I catch my breath! I need a James!😂 Love your space and love you! ✨️💚✨️
Keeping the blank wall by the sofa is SO powerful and calming! Less is more ❤
Love the space you created. Its so you,bright and shine. Thanks for your genuine sharing ❤
Oh, if i only had a James in my life.❤My art space desperately needs a re-jiggering and a deep clean! I love what you've done and always love watching the process. The Cardboard King is at his creative adventures again!✨️Feeling a little tender though today while watching the two of you, breaks my heart a bit, realizing that I don't have a good man in my life, and very probably never will..😢 sending much love and Aloha to you, dear Wendy and James, across the many miles.🩷🌺🙋♀️
A well deserved reward as your sharing inspires and keeps the world a more accepting place.👋🏻 Hi from Massachusetts across the sea.
FABULOUS! INSPRIRING, and effectively satisfying.❤❤❤ Well done to you Both
Love your new set up Wendy, what a sweet wee man James is a real keeper that one. And you are such a sweet lady who I have great admiration. Hope you both have a great future love and hugs from Bonnie Scotland xxx 😘❤
I have fibromyalgia and in a rotten flare but you've inspired me to sort out my craft space. Its a complete mess, im now painting on my table in my living room. I love how you've got everything to hand, if i put things away i forget where they are 😮 thank you Wendy x
Thank you I stand with you; No to AI! I move house last week and just today got to unpack more of my art studio. Ideas popping up and plenty of projects new and old to keep me busy and hopefully creative for months to come. Any day in the studio is a good day! Happy Spring and upcoming solar eclipse.
Love all your videos, always happy when I notice you've got a new one come up..your lucky, James and you are so great together, he's right there with helping you in any way, my husband is alot like him. Love all your plants..your studio looks great....gwen
Greetings Wendy and James, I just have to say I love hard work , I could watch You both all day hahahhaha . Fun to see the Cardboard King back in town . Only 10 mins in and had to comment Happy Equinox to You both ! As I watch this,I so agree with You about Reality ,eating my Toast and Hot Punkin soup, I am in chaos as we had a couple of Skylights replaced, had packed up a lot of the lounge and moved things out into other rooms of the house, the builders only just finised a week ago and have been slowly put things back , but in a totally new way, My Darling has a massive Vinyl collection and 3 turntables in the lounge so he moved it to another wall, which meant His Painting would need to shift about, etc, and I have been removing the Dust Dinos from the Library , changing the Altars, a some things will not go back as it is feeling so much bigger...for now hahahhaa . We thought it was time to shift the Energies as some things had been in same place for nearly 20 years. It still needs ,more sorting , with the occasional potter in the Garden to ground and recharge . You are inspirational and giving me ideas . My Darling also loves a good cardboard box but I am not showing Him this heehee ..thanks for sharing Your Reality as it feels "normal" to me xxxx from new Zealand xxx PS just watched the whole vlog and WOW it looks and feels so fabulous , well done , feels so much bigger , I bet You will notice the shift xx
💯with the only have what we "need". Also loved the idea/concept of keeping the energy moving in a creative space.
so i just found your channel and i love it so far . i have lost a lot of time …. i was in a bad situation for 4 yrs and got out right before cvid …. then cvid happened and i gained spooo much weight which was depressing . i stayed w friends . then i moved into my own place just to get my footing and start over again . i’m a writer and creative but a lot of that stopped when i was in the bad situation . it’s been 4 yrs and i’m finally writing slowly again . my spaces always looked cute until all this stuff . my apt has just been a for-now space and storage until i get to the next stone and it’s just full of things … so i usually give up . your videos have inspired me to want to create a cute space again that i love … and to journal again . i just wanted to say thank you ☺️❤️ it really helped esp when you admit it’s overwhelming and it took a few days . i agree even cleaning a few things changes the energy .
i’m losing the weight finally too and i’m ready to re-enter living again .
thanks so much for inspiring . i also looove your daybed ! all my furniture is that vibe second hand.
34:06 this whole area is totally my vibe!
Love, love, love this newest arrangement!
You are to have such a wonderful partner as James. Your relationship is so great. He is a very special man I guess it must be the season as along with some others on RUclips I too am trying to reorganize my craft room. Such a big job when you have so much stuff. Blessings and love from New Mexico
It looks amazing 🤩 Wendy and has definitely inspired me to have a spring clean tidy up in my studio too. Love 💕 the idea of creating space to create 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you ☺️ xx
I second that idea.can not find anything if put away.It gives me ideas if its out.😊
You and James are so cute togethers!! And so compatible!!! ❤
Hi Wendy you and James are so cute, a good team , your space is looking so good , just love what you guys have done, your energy is so sweet , take care xox
