A New Appreciation

This week has been… Crazy. Shayne has been home with a bad ankle and moody to top it off. Mine is better and I have been out and about. Shopping. The new house really needs a touch. My touch.

When I was younger, I hated going to Lowe`s, or  any home improvement store. My dad is a carpenter and we would often accompany him to get his materials. I hated it! Did I mention I hated it? I actually know how to use power tools too… Thanks dad!!

Now with the house and my new studio, I have ideas. Building ideas. Ideas that require a visit to none other than Lowe`s. Thanks to my dad, I know how to pick and buy lumber, as well as all the materials necessary to build what my mind is concocting!
I find it a bit of an oxymoron that a frilly girl like me can do this. My husband thinks it`s a plus!

So does my studio. I only have one corner remotely decent for me to take a picture. It`s sad really.

I know. It`s bad. I am not done painting and everything is everywhere. But my dad made it for me and I even have space behind it. It is pretty neat! Thanks dad!!! Thanks Lowes!

P.S. I promise I will update these pic with the finishes/intended/organized look.
