I needed to soundproof my massage therapy studio so I contacted a company in Erie, PA to purchase their wall foam. But the sales person gave me a money saving tip that I've used for 20 years. He said to look at the opening around your door when it's closed; if you see light, then sound can come in also. Place weatherstripping and a door sweep and you're good to go. Really deadens the sound.
Yes, today everything is in its right place...... We'll see in the future... That's how I started, today I don't know where the door to exit is... Good luck
Hello Chuck. You went to great lengths to make your room cater to your needs and you did an amazing job. Clean, tidy, and structured. I hope it helps you to enjoy it more. I transformed my 2nd bedroom into a bedroom/study. I still have some shelving to put on the walls. So I know how important it is to feel content and inspired. It's amazing how changing your environment changes you. Great job. ❤
The difference is day and night from what it was in the beginning. 1.8 k is not a lot considering what you have achieved. Well done and well deserved. Stay blessed and keep producing awesome art.
I love your new studio. Everything has its perfect place. I can only imagine all the beautiful masterpieces the world can enjoy that will come out of your new studio. Thank you for sharing with us.
The podium as a palette is genius! Portable & adjustable, plus there’s room to store brushes and paint. Definitely going on my art wishlist. Thanks for sharing!
GLENN IN LOUISIANA, AGAIN CHUCK: I literally cried when I saw this wonderful video of you long deserved studio. Weird seeing you rip out the things i watched you install over the years. From day one, you have been my teacher. I went from learning what a Princeton Dagger could do, to how to use Golden Open, to painting complex landscapes, all with two teachers: My mom when I was a kid, and you since I was 65. I’m 77 now, my last painting sold for 3K. I don’t make that regularly but it happened. I love painting and acrylics is what I staid with due to air quality in my stuffy studio. You have motivated me to renovate but I have to go slow, getting old. IT IS TRUE THAT YOU ALONE MOVED ME FROM AN INVALID UNABLE TO DO MUCH INTO A FULL FUNCTIONING PAINTER. I will have a website in this year and will show you. I praise you for such dedicated work, such craftsmanship and skill in building. I love the easel, the palette desk, and the long table. I see you working solitarily as always, my monk friend, my mentor, my friend, if I may call you a friend! God bless you! I have much more to say but enough for now. YOU ARE THE BEST ARTIST ON THE INTERNET IN TERMS OF MORALE AND MORAL INTEGRITY, INDEPENDENCE, AND BEING TRUE TO YOURSELF. For music, try this great self-styled entrepreneur in Europe, Reinhardt Buhr. Put some of his YouTUBE MUISC ON AND FLOAT AS YOU WORK. MAN O MAN AM I PROUD OF YOU!!!!! YOU PRINTS HAND ON MY WALLS. - GLENN 0:01
Having a space dedicated to art would be a dream! Thanks so much for sharing your work. We all can get inspired and apply what we can to our own spaces. Yours turned out amazing.
It will be amazing for you Chuck. Well deserved. My husband bought me office desk furniture for my studio don’t have the guts to tell him it’s not that functional 😬. Hope you enjoy your studio for years to come.
👋Hi Chuck, it's a perfect working space, beautiful appearance, bright, organized and good for one's mental health. Plus you've done an outstanding job on do-it-yourself. Wonderful ! Happy Easter, and have a nice week.👍💖
You have very beautifully transformed the space,it really reflects you. Space like this make you never leave it or you never know when time flies ,it really makes your thoughts and imagination come to life on the canvas .I really enjoyed watching this video .❤❤
I absolutely love this well-deserved makeover, however, at the 9:16 point, my heart skipped a beat. I worry that the defuser fabric could catch on fire from the heat of the bulb. I'm sure you know what you are doing though. Enjoy your new space.
I'd never heard of using gray/green for a studio before (that could make an interesting video), but I love the idea! Also, the use of the crate for a paint rack is genius!
Thanks for sharing that makeover. I am in a creative/ motivational funk and this has inspired me to reorganize my painting area, clean it up and get back on track!
Wow, Chuck,that is an incredible transformation, and not bad for total end cost. I have a plain and simple studio. I've been watching your vids for a long time now and i must say I really like what you've done 👍
I really love what you've done. It really looks like some place you really want to be and I can even feel the creative energy that you're ready to manifest. Well done!
What a great job you did with your studio. I just came across your video. You are very handy and your studio is so beautifully organized . Enjoy it! Well deserved.
Turned out great! 👍I recommend adding a plant to your studio (real or fake). I recently bought a 4' tall fake plant for my studio and it makes the space more inviting.
@@neosapienz7885 …dark walls look good, and create a nice intimate atmosphere, but I don’t think it’s very practical when it comes to art. Warm white sounds really good, that would be my choice too.
@@neosapienz7885 I did black and white in my studio and it worked out great! As long as the ceiling is white and you have good lighting I think you’re fine.
I’m in this exact stage of upgrading the studio. I felt extremely relatable to the first 2 minutes lol. Was hard to let go of all my diaper and Amazon cardboard box storage containers.
From how u spoke in the winter video I knew you were about to do a complete makeover u r taking everything that dosnt inspire u n making your space an area that dosnt hinder you yet has caught up with your many achievements n success..love it..❤❤
This turned out great Chuck, you will enjoy the better organisation and workflow of this space better, I went through the same process a couple of years back, gives you a sense of pride in your space and work.🙌
Looks amazing! I also added track lights to my space, but the shadows the lights cast drive me bonkers so I still use my easel light. I’m going to have to get the fabric to cover my lights, that might help me. Thanks for posting this!
🙏Amazing transformation of your art studio, enjoy your new artistic studio environment & be inspired to do more creative artworks. Thanks for sharing 🙏👍👏😉❤️
Beautiful studio space and so functional! I can't wait to see your next paintings in this fabulous space. Thanks for showing links to all the upgrades!😍🎨
Outstanding transformation, Chuck!!! The colour on the walls is perfect. In the house I had, before moving here with mom, to take care of her, I had a 20' x 16' studio, and I used a charcoal grey on the walls. It was very close to the grey-green you used. I did the ceiling in sky blue. There was space in it for three workspaces...and a sofa. Here, there isn't space for me to do a lot of work. It's very pleasing to see you've created a space that promotes your creativity!!!
Thanks for the comment, Mark! Really means a lot to me. Blue ceiling sounds really interesting. I hate the popcorn on mine, otherwise I might have tried painting it too, but didn't want to deal with it. Glad you enjoyed!
@@chuckblackart Actually, the popcorn on a ceiling isn't difficult to remove. A 12" wide drywall mud knife will usually scrape it off quite easily, then just sweep it up and to the trash with it. It would be a little bit of a hassle to do now, though, since you've already got the studio set up and going. Some cheap plastic drop cloths taped at the top of the walls and over the floor would be a good way to give it a go, if you ever wanted to do it. That way you could just gather them up and toss all of it at once. The grey-green walls, with a sky blue ceiling, could give an "in-the-forest" feel to your studio 😉
You did a great job Chuck!! I’m constantly moving my tiny space around to paint and for all my tools & paint. It’s my small apartment “dining” room which I keep expanding into my living room. I love how uncluttered your space is! 😉
Wow, the studio turned out amazing!! I am a firm believer in how much a very organized space can improve one’s work, and I am sure you will enjoy the new place very much!
well-planned and executed! As a fellow artist, I know how important it is to have a space you can create in. One that has the lighting, equipment and comfort you want/need, because we spend hours and hours.......and hours in that space! Congrats on a job well done! My favorites are the wall easel and the adjustable track lighting. Wait! You got married? Congratulations on that too! I wish you many years of happiness and companionship. Will be 38 years for us this May!
Well done! It's beautiful, dramatic and functional. I too have an entire room dedicated to my art studio, but no skills to re-build it on my own. But I'm not unhappy with what I have. I just need to work a bit more on cleaning out stuff I don't use anymore (I'm a crafter as well). Your new studio has inspired me to work in mine today!! What I need is a spot for photography - a light box, etc.
Green is gorgeous color my favorite. The whole transformation is super clean , even though it wouldnt have worked for me i will add a stadium lighting and it still wont be enough..but it looks awsom..
Good for you ❤🍾 on taking care of yourself. Look fantastic and serene. You did an incredible job. under 2grand 😯👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 that’s amazing Thank you for sharing 🌹🙏
Good job! It’s so nice to have a studio space that lifts our spirits when we go into it. And to reflect how we feel as a person. Love it that you’ve done this Chuck and I love that olive green wall colour. Spot on!
Hi Chuck, wow, what a transformation!!! I love it. I hope you enjoy working and relaxing in it. I love the wall colour. I'm a green person at the best of times, but that colour is sooo me!!
I remember when that room had some kind of an orange curtain on the window. I figured it had been left by the previous owners. Either that or you were at your moms house. 😂😂. This is beautiful and you’ve done an outstanding job.
That is so nice! :) No one should feel ashamed to spend a good amount of money of making their room nicer, especially if the room is also your workspace. It is so understated how important it is to create an environment that supports who you are as a person and how you like to work or relax. It will inhibit your own creativeness and help you ward off stress factors and unwanted input. I strong urge everyone who spends a lot of time in a small space, to just make it nice and comfortable for you.
Thank you for sharing your new studio with all of us! It looks so cozy and inviting. I love your new rug too. Would you mind sharing wear you purchased your rug?
I needed to soundproof my massage therapy studio so I contacted a company in Erie, PA to purchase their wall foam. But the sales person gave me a money saving tip that I've used for 20 years.

Really deadens the sound.
Thanks for the heads up! I was looking for a solution that was cheap and thought about hanging moving blankets, but those can be pricey too
Must be my Italian heritage but I can not work with my back to the door...LOL. Love the space and thanks for the video!
I wish my studio was a nice.
I'll definitely borrow some design elements 😅
Amazing! I'm sharing this video with my artist husband whose studio looks like it's been ransacked.
This is one of the best art studios I've seen, thank you for sharing the process with us
Yes, today everything is in its right place...... We'll see in the future...
That's how I started, today I don't know where the door to exit is...
Good luck

Couldn't agree more, Thank you Nikkia it definitely will help
“Clean, tidy and structured.” That’s what I need in my life.
I know when i make positive changes to my room it makes me feel better and inspires me to be in there more.
The difference is day and night from what it was in the beginning. 1.8 k is not a lot considering what you have achieved. Well done and well deserved. Stay blessed and keep producing awesome art.
So glad you made your studio the way you wanted it because you deserved it. Happy painting.😊
I love your new studio. Everything has its perfect place. I can only imagine all the beautiful masterpieces the world can enjoy that will come out of your new studio. Thank you for sharing with us.
Awesome room . My 5 year old son said " that was cool. " Paint the world ! Have fun with the new room . Now you need a sound system.
The podium as a palette is genius! Portable & adjustable, plus there’s room to store brushes and paint. Definitely going on my art wishlist. Thanks for sharing!
Superb. Just needs a snake plant and/or Devils Ivy, keep the air clean and keep you connected to nature.
Very well done and great job. New era of art in your life and we will love to see. Good Luck
"and supports my mental well-being". Heavy words felt fully. Studio looks great and art is incredible.
The ASMR was so soothing to watch!!! Loved the color green ❤!!
Can't believe you dint paint a Burnt Ciena underpainting on the walls LOL. Very nice, job well done.
lol Thanks Don
I really needed this video soo much 🤧, thank you sooo much chuck for sharing this video ✨!
Nice buddy, this is a very deserved change. Your art has a way of inspiring me more than anyone else. Keep it going and stay refreshed.
I'm humbled. Thank you so much
Loved how it all turned out! Congratulations on your studio, it’s every artist’s dream 🙌🏼
GLENN IN LOUISIANA, AGAIN CHUCK: I literally cried when I saw this wonderful video of you long deserved studio. Weird seeing you rip out the things i watched you install over the years. From day one, you have been my teacher. I went from learning what a Princeton Dagger could do, to how to use Golden Open, to painting complex landscapes, all with two teachers: My mom when I was a kid, and you since I was 65. I’m 77 now, my last painting sold for 3K. I don’t make that regularly but it happened. I love painting and acrylics is what I staid with due to air quality in my stuffy studio. You have motivated me to renovate but I have to go slow, getting old. IT IS TRUE THAT YOU ALONE MOVED ME FROM AN INVALID UNABLE TO DO MUCH INTO A FULL FUNCTIONING PAINTER. I will have a website in this year and will show you. I praise you for such dedicated work, such craftsmanship and skill in building. I love the easel, the palette desk, and the long table. I see you working solitarily as always, my monk friend, my mentor, my friend, if I may call you a friend! God bless you! I have much more to say but enough for now.

Well said could not have stated it better
Gorgeous men's art studio! 👌💙💙💙
FANTASTIC! As a fellow painter, I know how you feel. This was a very meaningful move. All the best!
Well thought out. Beautiful, functional, and elegant ambiance. Enjoy!👍
You just breathe life into your paintings. You are an incredible artist.
This has been the BEST studio remodel video presentation. Looks great.
Great studio & great artist
You are my hero and so fortunate to have such a lovely space. I hope you are enjoying it.
Having a space dedicated to art would be a dream! Thanks so much for sharing your work. We all can get inspired and apply what we can to our own spaces. Yours turned out amazing.
Great studio!
I identified with the starting scene. Looks perfect now. I love the adjustable podium.
Awesome room
I’m loving how everything is coming together and how you’re able to work on many things at a time!!!
One of my Favorite 😍 studio makeover videos on RUclips 😊👍🏻
It will be amazing for you Chuck. Well deserved. My husband bought me office desk furniture for my studio don’t have the guts to tell him it’s not that functional 😬. Hope you enjoy your studio for years to come.
👋Hi Chuck, it's a perfect working space, beautiful appearance, bright, organized and good for one's mental health. Plus you've done an outstanding job on do-it-yourself. Wonderful ! Happy Easter, and have a nice week.👍💖
Happy Easter to you too Thank you Cora
What a fantastic setting to spend time in! The paint colour, wood accents, and lighting all look so good together. Enjoy!
Way to go Chuck. Your followers can gain many good ideas from your new studio space!
You have very beautifully transformed the space,it really reflects you. Space like this make you never leave it or you never know when time flies ,it really makes your thoughts and imagination come to life on the canvas .I really enjoyed watching this video .❤❤
Fantastic job on the remodel! Congrats on the new workspace. Hope it serves you well for years to come.
Wow, this is a beautiful space that you have created. Thank you for sharing the process. It is an inspiration.
Hi. Your studio looks amazing. The design and layout is just perfect. I hope you enjoy your revamped space.
Well deserved Chuck. Wishing you many happy painting hours in your new studio. 😃😃😃😃
Thanks Paul
Thats a painter's dream room. You did an awesome job on it .
I absolutely love this well-deserved makeover, however, at the 9:16 point, my heart skipped a beat. I worry that the defuser fabric could catch on fire from the heat of the bulb. I'm sure you know what you are doing though. Enjoy your new space.
Thanks Jan, they get barely warm at best right there so I'm not worried about it. I appreciate it I will!
I'd never heard of using gray/green for a studio before (that could make an interesting video), but I love the idea! Also, the use of the crate for a paint rack is genius!
Thanks for sharing that makeover. I am in a creative/ motivational funk and this has inspired me to reorganize my painting area, clean it up and get back on track!
Amazing new space Chuck! This was a really enjoyable video. Loved your new additions, it just works!
Thank you, Andrew! I underestimated what a difference it could make in my work.
Wow, Chuck,that is an incredible transformation, and not bad for total end cost. I have a plain and simple studio. I've been watching your vids for a long time now and i must say I really like what you've done 👍
I really love what you've done. It really looks like some place you really want to be and I can even feel the creative energy that you're ready to manifest. Well done!
Beautiful art studio. I'm thinking of getting a shed and making an outdoor studio for myself. You've given me ideas, thanks!
What a great job you did with your studio. I just came across your video. You are very handy and your studio is so beautifully organized . Enjoy it! Well deserved.
Turned out great! 👍I recommend adding a plant to your studio (real or fake). I recently bought a 4' tall fake plant for my studio and it makes the space more inviting.
White walls have always been the traditional choice as they give maximum light, but every artist is different and you’ve created a lovely cosy den.
I went with warm white walls and ceiling, otherwise would have been too dark. I almost went with charcoal black, though.

A lot of changes moving forward for sure. Thank you so much Gwen.
Thank u chuck..u inspire me
Absolutely nailed it there, Chuck. What an excellent workspace and you didn't have to break the bank.
You did an amazing job. The space looks so calming. I’d be inspired to create art in there
Thank you!
This turned out great Chuck, you will enjoy the better organisation and workflow of this space better, I went through the same process a couple of years back, gives you a sense of pride in your space and work.🙌

Now you did it! I've been putting the same thing off for years but you pushed me over the edge! New studio here I come.
Definitely worth the effort!
Much better. Looks calming as well. the colours, light and layout.
Your reimagined space is an inspiring work of art by itself 🤩
Beautiful studio space and so functional! I can't wait to see your next paintings in this fabulous space. Thanks for showing links to all the upgrades!😍🎨
My pleasure thank you Sheila!
Your studio is going to be a dream. Love the color.
Already is, thanks Diania

Very nicely done sir. I am currently experiencing studio envy. You are correct, you do deserve it. Applause.
Amazing studio I have never seen such a beautiful studio before ❤
Thank you for sharing this process with us. Very inspiring! I recently converted my Blick H-frame easel into a wall easel and it's so much better!
Glad to see you come this far in your journey, wish you the best and many many more years of paintings to enjoy.
You did a great job Chuck!!
I’m constantly moving my tiny space around to paint and for all my tools & paint.
It’s my small apartment “dining” room which I keep expanding into my living room. I love how uncluttered your space is! 😉
Wow! Beautiful studio, man. You've given me ideas on increasing the size of my studio space. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations on your new studio !!! Thank you Chuck for showing us your work, take care and have a great day
I remember the old black walls. This is so much better!
good times lol Thank you I couldn't agree more
Wow, the studio turned out amazing!! I am a firm believer in how much a very organized space can improve one’s work, and I am sure you will enjoy the new place very much!
I agree and I'm sure it will help. Thank you Maria
Wow, love your new studio. You've inspired me to improve mine.
Well done!!! The "new' studio looks great, dude! I'm jealous.

Love it! Green is my favorite color. Enjoy your new space.
What a transformation, and it really seems to reflect you. Well done.
Thanks Terri
Green is gorgeous color my favorite. The whole transformation is super clean , even though it wouldnt have worked for me i will add a stadium lighting and it still wont be enough..but it looks awsom..

Hi Chuck, wow, what a transformation!!! I love it. I hope you enjoy working and relaxing in it. I love the wall colour. I'm a green person at the best of times, but that colour is sooo me!!
Thanks Debra, I'm really starting to like it as well
I remember when that room had some kind of an orange curtain on the window. I figured it had been left by the previous owners. Either that or you were at your moms house. 😂😂. This is beautiful and you’ve done an outstanding job.
😅 It was left behind and I was a broke artist who just quit their job in hopes to "make it" and couldn't afford to change it. Thank you Ramona!
What a beautiful Studio I agree with you well deserved. Looks like you're a man with many hats
Phenomenal. Love it. So functional and organized with a cool vibe
Great Video. As a fellow artist nothing better than a personal studio space
Well done, you are so deserving of you new space!
It's now a beautiful place to work! Great job with all the extra workspace!
This is one of the best art studios I've seen, thank you for sharing the process with us ❤
That is so nice! :) No one should feel ashamed to spend a good amount of money of making their room nicer, especially if the room is also your workspace. It is so understated how important it is to create an environment that supports who you are as a person and how you like to work or relax.
It will inhibit your own creativeness and help you ward off stress factors and unwanted input. I strong urge everyone who spends a lot of time in a small space, to just make it nice and comfortable for you.
Your studio is as beautiful as your art work. Thank you for sharing this. It's the inspiration I needed right now. Cheers, mate.
Thank you for sharing your new studio with all of us! It looks so cozy and inviting. I love your new rug too. Would you mind sharing wear you purchased your rug?
