  • It's time to re-think and rearrange the art studio, it's in for a bit of a functional makeover. I have a lot of things to address on a budget; better lighting, more workspace for how I work now, better organization, and, did I mention, better organization?
    Sometimes the way that we work changes over time, and our space needs to change to meet our new needs. I'm going to do my best to rework the space at a reasonable cost by utilizing budget-friendly items, reusing what I can, incorporating a few thrift store finds, and filling in the blanks from discount shops. Doing the best DIY space I can.

    What a refreshing video! No dodgy, overly loud music. No unnecessary faffing about. No unwatchable, 10x faster speed editing. No wasted time. And no vocal fry (ahhh, bliss). Just a clear, honest, down-to-earth & from the heart presentation bundled with practical fab ideas and inspiration. Such a pleasure to watch. Thank you sooo much!

    I'm glad to see someone else who does multiple mediums and doesn't restrict to only one. I've been feeling pushed to "find" my one niche and only work and perfect that. Thank you for the freedom to be me in ALL the mediums I love!

    I LOVE seeing someone so 1. Thrifty and 2. Particular. I can't ever justify buying new stuff when there's so much great 2nd hand stuff out there. And just cos the right thing isn't at one place, it could be at another. 2nd hand stuff is made for adapting! You must looooove your new space. I'm very jealous. The lamps on the wall are a game changer.

    • @lynellingram

      Yes! 100%. My entire house is a mish mosh of thrifted, Craigslist finds, hand-me-downs, and clearance buys. And the lights feel down right luxurious, being so functional. (And thank you!)

    Your little desk that you can't use the drawer, you could put casters under to be able to move it when you need, it's about 15$ for 4 at IKEA... since I've put some under my desk, I want to put casters under every piece of furniture haha I've put some under my easel too hehe

    I have a large space, but it's in my basement and SO cluttered. When we moved here 3 years ago the movers just dumped my boxes here and I've been struggling to make sense of it all! The chaos and darkness restricts my creativity. I will definitely use some of your ideas (especially lighting) to boost my area! Thank you!

    • @lynellingram

      The lighting solution of the desk lamps mounted on the wall are still my favorite thing. If you try it I hope it can help you to get your space closer to being your happy place!

    Here's a tip for you and for many artists and that is to please get yourself an adjustable desk Either electrical or crank style it don't matter also don't forget to get an adjustable Tall chair for it as well Also don't forget to have yourself a little mini fridge one of those mini coolers where you can put your soda cans in it then and only then with everything make sense!😎👍

    What an amazing job you have done with such a small space. That result looks quite workable - and kitty thinks it's pretty cool too! Thanks for the hint about the IKEA lights that can be mounted on the wall... this just might be what I need for my own studio. Great idea to show the cost of your transformation too! This is a very well done video.

      Thank you! The easel is the Blick Studio Medium-Duty H-Frame Easel from Dick Blick. Their own brand seems to be more reasonable than most others, and the quality is very good! I happen to live about 5 miles from a Blick store (it's very dangerous), so I was lucky enough to not have to worry about shipping.
