A new art studio ⚜️ Collage art vlog 5

[@cathysad]

It's like your very own grownup playhouse and I love it. How lucky you are!

[@MargareteMiller]

You're right! It is like a grown up playhouse. What a nice idea 😉👍🏻💙

[@dianesmith4759]

Love the idea of a tiny home studio! Enjoy!!!

[@MargareteMiller]

Thank you! 🙂

[@JannyHaak]

How awesome to have a tiny house in your backyard as your studio! Wishing you lots of creative joy in your lovely new space!

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks so much, Janny! 💚

[@fondarush]

You are so fortunate to have this new space. I think you will settle into it nicely.

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks so much, Fonda 💜. I agree with you. I'm very fortunate indeed!

[@loripadilla669]

I am so excited for you Margarete. Looking forward to watching you add to your studio and of course, to the art you will create there. Thanks for sharing.

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks so much, Lori!! 😘

Your new studio is lovely Margaret! Congratulation for it! Enjoy! I wish you good health and lots of beautiful creation!

Thanks so much! 😘

I have watched on TV tiny houses being built and thought they were so cute you’re very lucky to have one and you can use it for a crap what a great idea you’re going to have fun deciding where everything goes I always thought it was a great idea to put drawers under the stairs maybe instead of moving your China cabinet you could find a small covered to go in your space enjoyed watching your video I really like the little box you made to hold all your treasures.❤

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks so much! 💜 I’m glad you enjoyed the video. And thanks for your suggestions. 👍🏼

[@michelleramsay587]

I have a dining hutch in my studio. The shelving is completely enclosed, with glass doors on top. It holds so much! Love it, strongly recommend as studio furniture.

[@MargareteMiller]

Awesome! I think I'm going to do the same 😉👍🏻💙

[@michelel3372]

Wow!! Your new space is lovely!! I'm so happy for you to have space to spread out and work. Thank you for taking us on a tour. I look forward to seeing how you continue to decorate and settle in. I don't have suggestions ... my space is not very organized. But I have several pieces from my childhood, so those bring me joy. My work table is the first kitchen table my parents got when they were married in 1956. It holds so many childhood memories for me as it was the space I always used for craft projects. Thanks again for sharing. ❤

[@MargareteMiller]

I love that you have such a special work table in your space, Michele! How lovely that you have something that belonged to your parents so close by 💜

[@bollenhutart]

Ich freue mich so für dich ❤ du hast einen wundervollen Platz gefunden und wirst ihn im Laufe der Zeit perfekt für dich einrichten ❤ Ganz liebe Grüße Susanne

Vielen Dank, Susanne! Ich werde es genießen, daraus einen Ort zu machen, der mir gehört. Ich freue mich darauf, dort viel zu schaffen.

Congratulations on your new space it’s just gorgeous 😍❤️ and I love, love, love the treasure box 😍❤️ would love to see how that was made 🙏🙏 TFS ❤️😘😊🇨🇦

Thrilled for you! What a fabulous space, you are so blessed.

[@MargareteMiller]

Your stamp covered box would be a great container for a very special gift.

[@MargareteMiller]

Thank you. That's a nice idea. 💙🙂👍🏻

[@tamaraleonard2882]

Love your space . Good luck finishing designing your area for creativity.

[@Jenny-W1910]

Hi Margarete, I am so happy for you! This is such a great space already, I'm sure you will have lots of fun adding this and that to create your own cozy, creative space. I love those deep drawers in the stairs! Bookcases are great for the obvious and also smaller clear containers or pretty boxes with labels - like the ones for photos at Michael's (turned sideways) you can stack them depending on the space between shelves. Looking forward to an update whenever you're ready.🥳enjoy this journey!

[@MargareteMiller]

Fabulous ideas about the photo boxes turned sideways. Thanks, Jenny! 👍🏻💙

[@diane2941]

I'm not jealous! no, no ,no, nope nope. Ok maybe a little. It's fabulous!

[@MargareteMiller]

😄 Thanks, Diane 💜

[@conniehoelscher4591]

So exciting! You get to spread your wings so to speak. That is a great idea and happy for you. I think with you having to organize in your laundry room you will definitely make this work with your special touches that will make you happy to be there. It’s always fun to do things like this. I think that is why I seem to be always reorganizing my space. Or either I am just cray cray! But I love to organize! Anyway have fun and can’t wait to see your end results! Happy collaging! 💜 Oh and I love that post card drawer situation you made! You know we all are gonna want you to make another one on camera. I think I must have! Lol hugs

[@MargareteMiller]

I need to find the directions for making that drawer box! I'll look for it to see if I can plan to make one while filming. Thanks for watching, Connie! ❤️

[@claudinejones7894]

Congratulation on your new little cabin! I love it ! I am envious! You will be very happy there creating your wonderful collage art ! Best wishes. Love the post cards collection too! They are beautiful and so inspiring !

Ha! I guess there's a lesson in there that you can create pretty much anywhere 😉👍🏻💙.

Cool tiny house! ❤congrats! So glad you moved out of laundry room-you deserve this space! You look so happy there! 🤗 I love that thing that has cards in too & secret drawers 😍

Thank you, Karen❣️

[@sharonharris2979]

Hi Margrete, I am so jealous! How exciting to have a space like that, all brand new! You didn’t mention if you would be putting a mattress in the area under the loft. If not, I was thinking of some small rolling carts that would be easily accessible, perhaps to hold things like acrylic paints, stencils, rubber stamps. Also , not sure if you have any higher wall space available to maybe install some floating shelves to store your completed journals. I can’t imagine you parting with them. 🙂

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks for your suggestions, Sharon! I have one rolling cart to the right of my desk. It was hard to see in the video. I was also thinking about floating shelves. I need to find a solution for my rubber stamps.

[@kayherstedt6618]

How exciting and how cool to turn a tiny house into your new studio! I've watched many tiny house shows, and no one ever had that idea. I totally agree about being mindful as you decide what to move. I'm only moving my stuff between bedrooms but can make it my own. I plan to donate a lot of it to a Creative Reuse store here.

[@MargareteMiller]

I wish we had a creative reuse store close by. It's so great that you've got that resource to donate to. 👍🏻💙

[@kayherstedt6618]

I'm scared to go in there for the first time since I know I'll be bringing more stuff home! 😊

[@tonyashatley5040]

Wow! Congrats on your own crafting space! Enjoy!!! I’m still trying to figure out the best way to organize. I love wooden boxes but clear seems to be best for me.

[@MargareteMiller]

Clear is great because they are light weight and you can see through them 👍🏼

[@lylo3511]

I like this video very well. Wish you many good "great" ideas in your "tiny" house😊 Greetings from Germany/ Bavaria

[@MargareteMiller]

Thank you! 😊 ❤️💐

[@sandradowkes481]

Love your space! If you aren't going to use the toilet or shower in that bathroom, why not take them out but keep the sink; you need to be able to wash your brushes and supplies - grey water can just go onto a gravelled area on the lawn (or into a bucket you can empty). If you want that whole area for storage, can you put a sink someplace else?

[@MargareteMiller]

I was thinking about that 😉 💜

[@faithisrising]

What a great space!!! I was thinking you had a she-shed but this is 100x better! Can’t wait to see what you do with it. I don’t have any ideas but had to say well done!

[@MargareteMiller]

Thanks so much! I’m devoting a lot of time to thinking about it. I hope it comes out nice 😛💚

[@MargareteMiller]

It's meant to be temporary, so at some point I will sell it when I have a real art studio in my yard 😉💙👍🏻

[@teresao679]

What a great idea for a studio! Something we all need, "a room of our own."

[@MargareteMiller]

Totally! Having a devoted space is so important. I’m very lucky to get something so separate. 💙

[@jandt2344]

How exciting!! It's a beautiful, creative space! Instead of a hutch, what about a vintage breakfront? Maybe a hutch would give you more storage space, but a breakfront might fit better in the small space(?). Look for one at the thrift store, flea market, etc. Can't wait to see your progress!

[@MargareteMiller]

Googling "breakfront" right now. 😉👍🏻💚

[@jandt2344]

I wish I could send you a picture of what I'm thinking of. Sometimes the words hutch, breakfront and china cabinet are used interchangeably, so when you Google breakfront sometimes you see images of huge china cabinets. Hopefully you will find some examples of the smaller breakfronts that I am referring to. Good luck!

[@katietatey]

A She Shed! :) So cozy! I would be taking many naps down in the reverse loft. So you used to be a quilter but you don't quilt anymore? I am new to collage and am exploring all your videos, coming from a quilting and knitting background. That is so exciting to have a new space to work in. Your stand up area in the laundry room was so tiny! But it just shows you can work anywhere. I do most of my crafty stuff in my dining room.

[@MargareteMiller]

Yep. I used to quilt. I took some classes and made a few nice ones, which I still have. Maybe I'll bring one into the tiny house! Thanks for the idea 😉👍🏻💙

So happy for you to have a art studio. It will make such a huge difference for you. A nice thing is if you need to, you can leave project, that you are eorki g on. Instead putting them away. What I did was, instead of a desk I have a large wood table. I furnished my studio with Wicker furniture. It feels cozy to me and a total change from the rest of our home. May you enjoy your studio for many years to come.🎨🖌

[@JulianaBeasley1967]

I think I commented on this video before, but again! Many congrats on your new space. It seems so serene. I think a shelf is necessary for your journals and your collection of stamps. Do you like to keep your inks on your desk? I ask because I am trying to figure out what to keep on my desk and what to put into a bin for storage. Looks amazing though!

[@MargareteMiller]

Hi Juliana, I'm working on shelving right now. I have a very shallow space, right next to the door, and so we need to cut the shelves to size to make it fit. I'll have 8 shelves that I can use for rubber stamps. For books, I'm repainting an old hutch cabinet that is the right size. There will be plenty of space for books. I try not to have anything on my desk because once I allow stuff to stay, then everything stays and I end up with a mess that is hard to really clean up. Plus, I have found that I am more productive with a totally clean desk. 👍🏻

[@JulianaBeasley1967]

Sounds like you have a plan! Can’t wait to see the hutch with the new color. I like your idea of keeping your desk empty but I see some acrylic trays. Do you keep your desk completely empty? This is a long-standing issue for me and I recently purchased different things to contain the stuff I keep on my desk. It’s too much stuff and I need to at least cut it back. Will write you!❤
