I am LOVING your content. If ever there was a mentor made for me, it's you. I struggle with seeing any "talent" that I have, and am always designing what I think others want. You have completely normalized monetizing your own style. Thank you!!!
Thank you Tara! This made my day! And yes, just be YOU in everything you do!
We have a huge new barn that’s really a glorified garage where we keep all our vehicles in. It also has an upstairs where I keep over a hundred French styled chairs waiting to be disassembled and restyled. I call them “my ladies in waiting”. We also use part of our barn for tinkering on things where we have tons of new tools to work with. I’m telling you, this barn is huge!! LOL! This is where I disassemble my chairs. I was going to use a spacious storage room as my work space, but I find that most of the chairs I work on are really old and dirty! I just didn’t want to reupholster chairs using expensive fabrics in the same space. So, after watching your tour, I’ve made plans to build a She Shed/studio/greenhouse/hang out to reupholster. We have a farm with so many beautiful spots to build. I’m so excited about this new journey I’m on after being in education for 25 years and it’s all because of you Wendy!! Thank you so much for offering these courses and sharing your vision with us. I plan to take your Business Course too. I heard it’s a game changer! And, I hope to come to your retreat one of these days. I’m just trying to get myself and business in a great position to be successful. Thank you!!!
That's so good! Yes, having an inspiring space makes all the difference.
Now that’s a space I would love to work in every day! Color and textures mean so much! I love every inch. Amazing!! I feel so inspired right now!!
I just love it! But it's taken me a few years to get it like this!
@@ChairWhimsy charm galore!!
Oh my! I love it! My grandma make me and my siblings embroidered chambray shirts as well...I guess it was a 70s thing. I still have mine and I am going to copy you!
So fun, I've been thinking about framing mine!
It's a playhouse for creative women! Oh my! Let me retire and live in one of these Art Studios. Beautiful! And I can't wait to start learning in you Ugly chair challenge! See you tomorrow! From Winter Park, FL
It is like a playhouse! I'm so grateful for it!
I love seeing your tours..so much fun and ideas!
So glad it gives you ideas!
OMGoodness!!! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work space with us!!! I definitely see how it keeps you inspired! I can't wait until Wednesday for the "Ugly Chair Challenge"!!! Thank you!
So glad Renea!
Hi. I'm new to your channel. I'm in Niagara Falls, Canada. I enjoy re-upholstery and painting/wallpaper. I am a renter, but can add my style, which I'm grateful for. You have stirred my imagination to re-look at my entire apartment! There is so much to do 😁
Yay! So glad! You might want to get that peel and stick wallpaper!
Definitely on my list! Thanks!
So love your space…..
Thank you friend!

Awww thank you Lisa!
This was so much fun! 🪑
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful Thanks for sharing 🥰💜😇
Thank you friend!
Hello. What a beautiful studio. Love the colours and fabrics. Very inspirational. I particularly loved how you used the leftover wallpaper on the filing cabinet. How did you stick the wallpaper to it? Would love to do this.
Very talent ☆♡
Thank you friend!
Great job Wendy!
Thanks bro!
Thank you so much for this tour. Your studio is stunning. Love the color-I love color and glad to meet someone else who appreciates it too. My old sewing machine does not work anymore. Your input would be very much appreciate as I need to purchase a new one. When you purchase fabric to keep on hand how much do you purchase? This also gave me an idea of where I could work at home-we have an old metal barn we are going to transform for a gathering space....just thinking. Many thanks
I purchase just 1 yard at a time usually for my chairs.

I am so jealous! I work in my kitchen at table I can no longer eat at unless move everything!!
Well, my "office" space is at my kitchen table too! But you'll get there with your own space soon!
@@ChairWhimsy I am looking forward to getting there!! I was working on one chair I was able to find, more like what I wanted, and it has more staples and nails than I have ever seen on ANYTHING! It is an old chair that had springs in it with sack cloth and something I didn’t even know what it was stuffing it! I worked on it on the front porch in 30 degree temps! I really have never seen so many staples! I worked for 4 hours pulling staples and still not finished! Have you ever had a chair with so many staples and nails you wondered if it was worth it?
@@donnadavis2883 Yes I have! It's rare though!
@@ChairWhimsy well that is good! I hope it will be rare for me too! If I had no problem finding chairs, to not do this one with so many staples and nails, I would have opted not to!! 😂
Hi 👋… question 🙋♀️? Your wreaths on your door are they pompons??? Gorgeous work place. Love all the colours. PS: my sister lives in Austin so I know the city well and love ❤️ it. ❤❤❤🇨🇦❤️❤️
No, they are fake tulips!
@@ChairWhimsy looks awesome 🤩
How awesome a space this is! I love it! Of course I wish I had a space like that! Being a furniture artist/flipper, all of my spaces are full of furniture! 🤣 But I am looking forward to the Ugly Chair Challenge, as I've always had a thing for chairs! 💜💜💜
Yay, so glad you joined!
Beautiful space! I aspire to have my space as well organized and as lovely! Also love the linen fabric you are wearing in your intro piece. Is it a blouse or a dress?
That's a dress I got on Etsy for $30!
A terrific tour. Wonder to learn more detail about your workspace. Thanks very much!
Thank you Kim! Glad this was fun for you!
It's an absolutely wonderful space! I need something like that!
Yes you do!!!
Great story and tour! So inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
So glad you liked it!
I LOVE your wallpaper. Can you give me the name of your wallpaper and where I can get it? Thank you
It's by Kim Parker called Ariadnes Dream. www.pinterest.com/pin/321163017175253587/ I believe it's out of print at the moment.
Beautiful workshop! Thanks for the invite!
You are so welcome! Thank you!
Loved the tour of your charming "cottage" work space. I saw your storage up above, but where do you cut your big rolls of dacron, foam, cotton, and fabrics?
I just spread it across my sawhorses when I need to do the cutting
So beautiful and full of life!!!
It's a great space to work!
Wendy I can't stop thinking about your Floral Wallpaper I want that so bad in my bedroom Can you PLEASE tell me the name of it and where did you get it PLEASE!!!!
It's by Kim Parker for Clarke and Clarke, but it's been discontinued www.insidewallpaper.com/p-1226717-w0063-1-ariadnes-dream-multi-by-clarke-and-clarke.aspx

You inspire me! Thank you!
❣️
Awww thank you Shakti!
Love your space! Where did you get your wallpaper? Thanks for sharing!
It's from Kim Parker for Clarke & Clarke. I think it might be out of print now though.
Thanks! I love Kim Parker's work. I didn't know she had wallpaper. Oh well...(that it's out of print). Thanks again!
@@bethober7804 yes, her stuff is amazing!
I loved it !!! it sure shows you and your personality. I did notice you don’t have a sink? so do you take all your paint brushes in the house to wash them? Your space inspires me I can’t wait to have my own studio soon outside my garage lol
You are correct; no plumbing as of yet! I've got a laundry room inside my house with a utility sink.
What is your go to gold paint?
I like Rustoleum metallics
