Room Makeover & Studio Tour

[@jackiemcleish5350]

I don’t often comment but wanted to say how truly lovely your relationship with James is , a few years ago we saw James in the car park of Morrisons and he admired our motorbike, I didn’t say hello as I wasn’t sure it was him , anyway since then my partner and I were hit by a car changing lanes without looking while on the bike , thankfully my partner was okay i but I’ve sustained life changing injuries. Since the accident my parter has been truly amazing taking care of me and watching you and James work together it made me want to say how very blessed we are ❤

[@NelCooper]

Sorry to hear about your accident. Glad you have support and hope you recuperate fully ❤

[@oliveappleby8672]

Oh I do hope you’re on the turn getting better…🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@theunexpectedgypsy]

so sorry to hear about your injuries after an accident! May you recover with some unexpected miracles ! I'm so glad you have your partner taking good care of you xxxxx we are blessed indeed! xxx If you see us again don't hesitate to come say hi!!! xxxxx big loves

[@magicalpatterns]

You will be healed completely 😊

[@sandrafisherhayes3219]

I was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia two years ago (or thereabouts) and I am also asthmatic Wendy. I agree it can be a challenge to cope with. Self compassion and self care are a must when we don't feel our best. Art and creativity are an essential part of our lives. I love your studio/creative space Wendy 😍 one day soon I will have my own. Some excellent storage ideas and James is definitely a keeper ❤

[@JB-pd4ni]

Oh. My. Stars. James is a fine man, kind, patient, and willing to do anything to help you. You are a fortunate woman, and i wish you two many years of happiness ahead. Yes indeed, he is a keeper!

[@theunexpectedgypsy]

thankyou so much! he truly is such a wonderful soul mate xxx I'm very blessed indeed!! xxx

[@nizhonikid9700]

Sweet Wendy, you are both blessed to have each other ❤️❤️​@@theunexpectedgypsy

[@MadelineinFL]

i sooo agree with other comments here about James being so wonderful. Also, I completely agree with having things available, in your sight... for me out of sight is out of mind and I completely forget about things! I think the creative spirit needs its "stuff" ...supplies, but also the organizational aspect is so important. Yay you!! :-)

[@melissas3259]

Wendy, I have been watching you for a long time and I just love how your studio keeps evolving as you evolve. As we shift and change through life’s seasons, our space becomes a place of reflection. It’s reminded me that I too can evolve and change as my life changes, my artwork should evolve too, instead of becoming stagnant. I love your gentle reminder that it’s ok to not be ok sometimes. Our light shines through, always. 🩷

[@reatreatseclusion9891]

James is so wonderful, can t believe how he goes away all week working then never hesitates to help out with the business at weekends he never complains he's so laid back. Bless him, the work room looks amazing. I miss you both so much inbetween videos. Sending peace and love xxx

[@theunexpectedgypsy]

he is sooo generous with his time ! I am very blessed indeed! sorry you miss me inbetween videos! I am on Instagram and the FB in between ! xxx big loves and peace and love to you too ! x

[@francineh.7825]

This new configuration has really opened up the space and the energy flow of the room!! I like it.

[@theunexpectedgypsy]

thankyou blossom xxxxx me too!

[@Robine-n1v]

Dear Wendy, whenever I see your videos, I remember that I actually want to be creative. My heart knows it, but I can't do it 😢 I hope I can do it soon. Thank you for being a wonderful role model for me❤

[@joannego856]

just start with some baby steps, Play with the materials you've got already. When you lose track of time, you'll know you're There!

[@mardeebrosh6965]

I think we all put too much pressure on ourselves to "be creative". Just take some materials that appeal to you and give yourself permission to play. This is just for you, not the judgment of others, so it doesn't matter what the end product looks like as long as you enjoy the process. As a friend of mine says, "it's just art supplies". Hugs to you. You can do this.

[@Pkeats817]

Me too. I used to be creative.

[@Shooshoobella7]

Your studio space is like my dream studio: cozy, inviting, with large windows and lovely light streaming through, it's just such a wonderful space. And even more so now after your reorganization; everything flows so nicely and naturally. Thank you for sharing your world with us; you are my favorite corner of KZbin. ❤

[@theunexpectedgypsy]

yes the room alone is soooo pretty! i'm sooo lucky to have it!! xxxxx and thankyou! FAv corner of youtube is a big compliment indeed!!! xxxxx blushing now±± tee hee

[@suzanne1797]

I'm only at 3:50 and I'm already smiling. You two are like spring birds and I love watching you fluff the energy in your world! ❤

[@AngelaLochCross]

I love the flow of your workspace now with the art areas in an L shape like the room. I couldn't help but mentally organize it all when you first moved in and this is actually very close to how I originally envisioned it. I would take so many naps on that daybed.

[@elizabethcameron6045]

What wonderful self-care for you, Wendy. It's a lot of work and so worth it! Beautiful remake of your space.

[@thehouseofjane]

James is such a cool hearted person with the nicest voice. You're a lucky lady Wendy. Thanks for sharing him & your cozy space.

[@evestree]

I will echo the messages about James. So much love between yous makes me smile ear to ear. I have a divine love too and I’m so grateful for him. Not a day goes by that I don’t cherish him. Truly beautiful. Celebrating your love! Celebrating your office nook, im in love with the French daybed. Sublime. Your space is looking absolutely wonderful. Happy to have watched its transformation. Celebrating you! Your new home, re design studio, and living an Art life!! Truly blessed. Congratulations you deserve it all!!! ❤

[@angelique2653]

Hi. Wendy. I am a great fan of seasonal decluttering! I clear out different rooms in my home at New Year, at Easter and before Winter. I give loads of books and clothes to charity. I have only a few ornaments...a,little blue jug from Grandfather's house. A little Buddha my late husband gave me. A beautiful marble couple embracing which a friend gave me while I was deeply bereaved. My only clutter is my dining table which is my art studio...now that I am teaching myself to paint. You are such an inspiration to me! Painting is very, very healing.....It is now my Passion. ❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@theunexpectedgypsy]

I absolutely love this Angelique, thankyou so much for sharing. Sending much loves to you with all your special things and happy painting!! It truly does heal the weary soul! xxx

[@luckybugtarot1717]

Yes im very similar. I prefer things where i can see them not hidden away just so other people can feel happy about my space 😊 ❤

[@sherryliberto6749]

I love how you and James work so well together. I absolutely love this new space ya'll created for yourselves. James is the cardboard king for sure. Have an amazing day. Please tell James hello. Sending love and big hugs Sherry ❤❤❤

[@theunexpectedgypsy]

will do Sherry!! big loves to you too!!!! xxxxx

[@artistikitty]

That daybed IS GLORIOUS! 😍

[@the.daily.disciple]

The great thing about cleaning out and rearranging it causes the creativity juices to be refreshed! I love it ❤❤❤ yes I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2009 after my complete hysterectomy (36yrs) today at 51 I have been told i have Rheumatoid Arthritis but I keep having other symptoms so now their second guessing that diagnoses. Yes I love to have zones - reading /rest area - my writing/journal area/ my art table for painting and sketching and then a huge table for crafting, book making and etc. we are a lot of like in that way.

[@ellahopkinson]

I reckon James would make a great carpenter, i would certainly be interested to see him progress from cardboard to wood :) your videos really help brighten my day, even when I'm struggling so thank you x

[@susankuhlman6514]

I love their relationship. There is affection and James just steps in, comes up with ideas and uses his skills. They obviously love each other and that can be rare in the modern world, Also, I really like the blank wall. I did art in an apartment where to my left I had a sliding glass door to a balcony where I had bird feeders and hummingbird feeders. I would pause in my work and gaze out the door and watch the birds come and go. It recharged me. Having floor space helps open the mind to life. It is part of the journey.

[@merrimcarthur7198]

"use what you have-ist!!" Love that.

[@elizabethwinters5361]

Ahhhhh. You two together make for a double=happiness kind of video! Love you both. ❤❤❤❤

[@theunexpectedgypsy]

love back and thankyou so much xxx

[@biancathomas7934]

Congratulations 👏 it's nice to see the award from you tube hung up. Your workshop looks fantastic, I love the zoning and the more organised placemdnts of the plant babies, loads of green surrounding the office area and book nook, good for thinking and calming. It was lovely to watch this video, very therapeutic and inspiring. I have a garage full of stuff that requires the same treatment and I said to my hubby the other day that we need to let go of some of the old stuff we have accumulated over the past 10 years. It feels very much like a time of cleansing and moving on, ready for our new stories to evolve. Kudos to James for the inspired shelving. Well done guys 🎉💚💛🩷🪽🌟

[@maryjanelarson9045]

Oh your Daybed is in the BEST spot. I adore this refresh and James is definitely The Cardboard King. 😊

[@DreamingCatStudio]

What a brilliant refresh! Spacious AND cozy AND functional! Inspiring! The cardboard shelves James created are awesome! And I’ve never seen two people sweeter than you and James. ❤❤❤

[@donnadoble-brown338]

James ‘s homemade shelving units are GENIUS 😋

[@Pkeats817]

They really are!

[@janinafisher101]

The Cardboard King strikes again! James is a lovely and loving partner. It does seem like you and I are on the same wavelength - I am just going through the same process! My studio is the entire living space of the fairly large "cabin" that I live in (it used to be a community hall for a very small community) and it was time to reorganize things to make it feel more spacious and less cluttered, and by some magic it now feels about 3 times as large! I, too, did a no-spend transformation, and got rid of some furniture, condensed a few things to make it all work better, and moved things around for better flow. Like you, I need to SEE the materials I have and not hide them away. The process has been fun and creative, and inspiring! Happy playing in your studio!

[@floshymaedesigns6340]

Oh it looks fabulous this way! I love you have placed all the spaces this way with room for dancing or stretching too. It really looks charming and cozy while completely functional at the same time.

[@sheilajoseph9953]

Wendy your floor space looks more spacious and your creative space increased, great tranformation.💚

[@murialpack5350]

I’ve been with you for a long time now, but haven’t commented before. I wanted to suggest that you look up a health condition called Ehler Danlos Syndrome (EDS). I have it and I suspect you might too. I spent most of my life trying to figure out what was “wrong” with me, due to a very wide range and varying array of symptoms. I finally was diagnosed in my late 50’s, after figuring it out myself from exhaustive online research. I scheduled an appointment, told the doctor, got tested and confirmed my diagnosis. I hope you see this and look into it. Many hugs to you 🤗😁🤗

[@LeahWriter]

I have turned my entire house into craft zones. I don't have people over very often, so why not! I have loved this video. I need everything out as well. According to Clutterbug, I'm a Butterfly lol. I love that you have a place for your eyes and mind and body to rest-your back wall and chaise.

[@greyfeather7857]

Thankyou Wendy for your gentle support and advice. I’m currently in the process of selling my flat and buying a tiny bungalow with a garden. I’m definitely going to have to a sort out of my stuff and this time of year always seems to get me all fidgety 😬 my art is what gets me through the tough times as well as the good times. Some very impressive upgrades from the Cardboard King 👑👍🏻✨🙏🏻

[@susanorban3059]

Hi Wendy❤ I love how you change your spaces around. I have too many plant babies in my art room but I love them all so much! I too love having my supplies out where I can see them! Sometimes I get frustrated with feeling like my space is just too cluttered but it's all my "stuff" and I love it all! Thanks for sharing! Love from Susan in AZ🥰🏜️

[@sophiablow3422]

I love moving things around, it just freshens your energy and perspective.

[@artistikitty]

I love me some good cardboard... boxes included. Props 🙌🏼 to your “Cardboard King”📦🤴🏻on his ingenuity and creativity. Impressive, indeed. 👏🏼

[@amberrichards8078]

Inspiring the spring clean and moving of things. When I get back from visiting family I will crack on in my own spring clean. Got an old armchair that needs throwing out and will clear up well needed space and create a better flow. I work from home as no studio space in Lincoln. I do prefer everything out to function, apparently I am a Butterfly, but alas don’t have the space to do that. But maybe once I go through stuff I will find more space to move things. Definitely agree best not to do everything at once, as creates overwhelm, and I have got a lot to go through. Wonderful to see you both you and James working together, what a team you make. We could all do with a partner like that. Thanks for sharing

[@gurkmeja2021]

James is an absolute Star! 🌟 You’ve both such lovely personalities. ✨️✨️ The art studio is wonderful, and your art work is stunning, Wendy. I recognize lots of things you said; I have hypermobility-EDS. If I sit and journal for long my neck hurts so bad. Wishing You & James a very nice week. 💚 /Ditte 🤓 🇸🇪

[@christinaivey2376]

"Move the energy around" I love that!

[@aniaphotouk]

James reminds me of my Other Half so much, always supportive and kind (and very good with DIY :)

[@dream-journals]

Getting tears here, I enjoy your videos so much and always put a smile on my face, but thanks for the shout out to us who have Fibromyalgia and other chronical illnesses. That's why I like you and what you do, you are so so inspiring, and we're so similar. I'm so grateful I've found you here on KZbin, a loyal follower here and just started my own channel. Totally loved when James did a little video thingie with the cardboard. I've just learned some good tricks from him I'm going to try out aswell. I just got a lot of precious paper ephemera pieces and going to need to make space for them aswell. Sending you and James so much love and light. ❤❤❤

[@mardeebrosh6965]

Fellow fibro person here too. I was sorry to hear that Wendy has joined our ranks. Her videos have cheered me up so much when I was in a flare and couldn't do much.

[@lunardesignstudiolinda1256]

Keeping the blank wall by the sofa is SO powerful and calming! Less is more ❤

[@alisonnoble7535]

Regarding the supplies being out in the open, yes, yes, yes! I love your ideas of zones. Great food for my thought, and how to create space for different things. Brilliant!

[@sherelynwhite4130]

Oh, if i only had a James in my life.❤My art space desperately needs a re-jiggering and a deep clean! I love what you've done and always love watching the process. The Cardboard King is at his creative adventures again!✨️Feeling a little tender though today while watching the two of you, breaks my heart a bit, realizing that I don't have a good man in my life, and very probably never will..😢 sending much love and Aloha to you, dear Wendy and James, across the many miles.🩷🌺🙋‍♀️

[@elizabethparker848]

James has the patience of a saint ❤

[@janillingsworth7478]

I am so glad you are happy. As you know I have had fibromyalgia for over 20 years and its been a tough journey but now I have improved and don't have as much pain so getting better is possible. Good on you for driving again. Arohanui from me in Aotearoa New Zealand ❤❤❤

[@franciemontgomery2935]

Thanks SO much for the encouragement and inspiration. You are just so lovely. Thanks for keeping us company! ❤🎉😊

[@grizeldaxxx4568]

Greetings Wendy and James, I just have to say I love hard work , I could watch You both all day hahahhaha . Fun to see the Cardboard King back in town . Only 10 mins in and had to comment Happy Equinox to You both ! As I watch this,I so agree with You about Reality ,eating my Toast and Hot Punkin soup, I am in chaos as we had a couple of Skylights replaced, had packed up a lot of the lounge and moved things out into other rooms of the house, the builders only just finised a week ago and have been slowly put things back , but in a totally new way, My Darling has a massive Vinyl collection and 3 turntables in the lounge so he moved it to another wall, which meant His Painting would need to shift about, etc, and I have been removing the Dust Dinos from the Library , changing the Altars, a some things will not go back as it is feeling so much bigger...for now hahahhaa . We thought it was time to shift the Energies as some things had been in same place for nearly 20 years. It still needs ,more sorting , with the occasional potter in the Garden to ground and recharge . You are inspirational and giving me ideas . My Darling also loves a good cardboard box but I am not showing Him this heehee ..thanks for sharing Your Reality as it feels "normal" to me xxxx from new Zealand xxx PS just watched the whole vlog and WOW it looks and feels so fabulous , well done , feels so much bigger , I bet You will notice the shift xx

[@abundantlyinspired]

I love the refresh❤❤❤the new nook space has such a cozy womb-like atmosphere to it.🥰 I woke up with a rejig in mind for my own sewing space which i've been working on for a little while now. I'm off to do my own spring refresh!!!🌺🙌🏻Thanks for sharing your real non-AI life with us!!! xoxo

[@pervi63]

Hi Wendy! The change is amazing! There´s plenty of space to move around and the nook has a completely different spirit, like inviting to another kind of activity. I really love it. It´s very inspiring to me watching your videos and this one in particular helps me to remember that we´re moving all the time and so our spaces have to. Thank you. Happy Easter and biggest hugs! 🦉

[@ArtyAntics]

I like to say I’m minimal-ish, the only thing I have an any amount of is art supplies. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a couple of years ago and I’m really stiff in the mornings, then by the time things loosen up I’m too tired, very frustrating. Minimalism massively helped my ability to cope, less stuff, less energy needed to manage things. What you said about thinking time is so true, esp with Fibro fog. My art studio clear out has taken 3 months. Often because my autistic brain doesn’t like change so I need to find time to ‘try things on’ before I commit. I’m currently contemplating painting my studio black, sounds crazy but my art room is so bright that it is and instant migraine even with sunglasses on! I was hoping the black would stop the light bouncing around and give me a sensory cozy feel.

[@samcollage7682]

Your plant babies look very happy and lush. Way to go.

[@sadieals]

So therapeutic, watching and listening to you and James. You make a good team!

[@naomifreya1481]

Hi Wendy, I just wanted to say, I've been away from home for a few years in a different country and watching your videos feels like home (as I am also from England) the area and just how you talk gives me comfort xx🫶🏻🥲

[@essiem6039]

The room is so cozy with bits and bobs 😉. And James so patient and what a good idea those cardboard boxes. I’m going to remember that 😃.

[@zenlife1200]

Your space is looking great Wendy. I think with all creative pursuits we embrace, we go through that initial need to try a bit of everything. In photography that might mean buying lots of different lenses and trying different subjects and styles until we hit on that magic thing that sings to us and then we start to pare away all the excess bits that we've collected and try to find that creative essence without all the extra clutter. I've been through that with photography and I'm now on that journey with my art. I've discovered that some materials cause sensory issues for me, either through smell or texture. So oil paints and sticky oil pastels are now out for me, but I've discovered watercolor and gouache and drawing with calligraphy pens and so many other things that I do enjoy, that the loss of a few mediums won't hold me back. Sometimes I find too many choices overwhelming anyway. I can't decide what medium to use so I end up using none of them. Less is definitely better and I can't wait to get to the stage where I know my favorite mediums and can start weeding out my excess supplies and curating my space into zones and happy spaces like yours.

[@healinginteriors]

I LoVE the new Feng Shui of your studio❣️ Totally get what you’re going for- it’s what I’m always questing to create in my studio too. Spacious look and feel but yet cozy, and still well stocked w/ supplies mostly out and visible so I know what I have to use. Thanks for the inspiration as well as the realism of what it takes to re-Shui the Feng as a Creative❣️ namaste, Wendy 🙏🏼🤓🪶

[@conchesodan]

Genius idea from James from the small shelves for the shop!

[@makeastatement1]

Thank you I stand with you; No to AI! I move house last week and just today got to unpack more of my art studio. Ideas popping up and plenty of projects new and old to keep me busy and hopefully creative for months to come. Any day in the studio is a good day! Happy Spring and upcoming solar eclipse.

[@mantronixtube]

so i just found your channel and i love it so far . i have lost a lot of time …. i was in a bad situation for 4 yrs and got out right before cvid …. then cvid happened and i gained spooo much weight which was depressing . i stayed w friends . then i moved into my own place just to get my footing and start over again . i’m a writer and creative but a lot of that stopped when i was in the bad situation . it’s been 4 yrs and i’m finally writing slowly again . my spaces always looked cute until all this stuff . my apt has just been a for-now space and storage until i get to the next stone and it’s just full of things … so i usually give up . your videos have inspired me to want to create a cute space again that i love … and to journal again . i just wanted to say thank you ☺️❤️ it really helped esp when you admit it’s overwhelming and it took a few days . i agree even cleaning a few things changes the energy . i’m losing the weight finally too and i’m ready to re-enter living again . thanks so much for inspiring . i also looove your daybed ! all my furniture is that vibe second hand.

[@emilyvickery8081]

Bless James! What a sweetie. Does he have a brother? just kidding 😂 I need to have my supplies out or else they will be neglected and forgotten. It limits the possibilities, too. Loooove your studio Wendy. Envious ❤Beautiful nook area. I like how you've set the studio out overall.😊♥️🙏🥰

[@Didomum]

James you're a keeper. wow you two have been busy. I should be doing the same thing but after watching you doing all that work I'm going to have to rest for a couple of days lol. your plant Babies grow like crazy. mine needs more light. since my hubby passed away last November my stuff is my stuff has taken over, I think its like comforting to have it all around even sometimes I feel I have to much stuff. one day I will be ready to rearrange my world but not yet. take care of each other

[@lorikorstanje2964]

wonderful change for you and for us as viewers! I have a studio area in my basement for 9 years this may in this home and I've been changing it around in the last year! Using what I had, painting some old furniture removing old furniture, and I think as it is getting to be nicer weather and spring is in the air, I'm inspired by you to change up more, and get some healthy plants and give some much needed love to my existing plants! thanks so much for your great videos I really enjoy following along ! xo happy easter lori

[@MiiPaintings]

I loooove your videos! You have got exactly same art studio like me - in an L shape with 2 maing big windows. And I loove how you reorganized it. It’s always so interesting for me to see other artist studios and this one is more special to me, because it’s same like mine :-)

[@betsybangley5081]

I love the idea of opening up space for new energy, new ideas, new things. Brilliant!

[@mardeebrosh6965]

Love this video and how sweet both you and James are. Please don't apologize for not overtaxing your body. I have fibromyalgia too and it's not worth a few hours of overdoing to end up in a flare for days. Hugs to you and hope you're feeling better soon.

[@judiemjacobson4613]

You are to have such a wonderful partner as James. Your relationship is so great. He is a very special man I guess it must be the season as along with some others on KZbin I too am trying to reorganize my craft room. Such a big job when you have so much stuff. Blessings and love from New Mexico

[@NelCooper]

I love the new and improved art studio. Just one suggestion and it might just be me. What about painting or gray paint staining the bare wood in the middle of the floor? Either way I love the studio and all your videos. Wendy you are an inspiration ❤ 🥰

[@Jennifer-b3d]

Wonderful make over Wendy! I use box shelving similar to James's designs. It's so important to move the energy around in your workspace every now and then. James is such a great support. Love you guys! 💖

[@lifeelixrlounge7289]

Love the clear space you created Wendy. I think it does make a massive difference when you create some clear space. I recently did a reschuffle in my bedroom because I was a bit over the set up, yet have very limited configuration ability because of the window location as well as access to WIR plus Ensuite. Effecitvely I have 3 doors and two windows in the room, and only one wall that can house the width of a bed and bedside tables. Anyhooo, I took the mirror off the back of my dressing table, which has basically been set up like that in my room for 18 years (current and previous home), then relocated the chest of drawers to my WIR (because there was space across one wall, I just needed to do some clearing out 😁) and now I have a small writing desk in my room near the window (moved from anothr room), which is hugely important to me because I love journalling. It is my "Zen" zone now and really gives me an element of serenity. I did purchase a small shelf, because I wanted some display and book storage near my desk, but I didn't want it to be too invasive to the space. Like you, I wanted some "clear wall" space. For now, what I have created is just perfect. Amazing what a reshuffle of furniture can do and how much of a difference it makes to the way you feel in the space you are using. I even feel super privileged, because I have created a dressing room in my WIR (because it's so large) and I don't have to share the space with anyone. Having the drawers in there for all my underwear and t-shirts has aided that. I even bought a small little rug to place in the centre of the floor which says "hello beautiful". Just to break up the dark carpet color. It's awesome and love it. I love the clear space and organisation you have created in your studio. It looks very refreshed. Very good idea to have the different zones to spend time in. Also loved the "James feature" on the video. He is a true whiz (King) with the cardboard. Such an asset for your Shop storage. Be well 🌻🪴🌺🌱❤💫

[@Artjourneywithtami]

Love your studio. I love the way James is always coming up with ideas to make your visions come to life. Bravo!

[@TaunaLen]

Oh, Wendy! Thank you so much for this reset video! I needed to see the chaos and to hear you affirm what really resonates for me -- I am not a minimalist... I have been accused of being a maximalist! I am not, but I do need or want my stuff out, accessible, and looking creative and inspiring. I have a lot of supplies, several shelves and cubbies, lots of plant babies, and lovely little objects that I find beautiful and useful which come into my space for a time, then get donated or gifted when they are ready to move on. I also collect jars, containers, baskets, bottles, etc. It's a thing. We are packing, because we are losing our little cottage beneath the willow tree. The owners want to sell, and we have decided it's not wise to buy right now. This house has been my haven for nearly ten years, and dismantling and preparing to go out into the world to find and create a new haven is both exciting and anxious-making. I have been tackling the packing room by room and making frequent trips to donate shops. It's unsettling. But I am doing it. As always, your kindred magical and artistic energy -- and this video in particular -- helps me to keep going! Thank you, thank you, for being who you are in the world, and sharing yourself with people like me!

[@chrisr792]

I have fibromyalgia and in a rotten flare but you've inspired me to sort out my craft space. Its a complete mess, im now painting on my table in my living room. I love how you've got everything to hand, if i put things away i forget where they are 😮 thank you Wendy x

[@ljshaw8516]

James is like my hubby, and his honey-do lists I have for him. Always smiling at me and probably thinking "we're moving this again?!" but he never grumbles at me Wendy! We are two very fortunate ladies. x's lj

I want to comment on a couple of things. James. Wow, what a sweetheart! I think we all want a man like him in our lives. Such a blessing! The Makeover - love it!

Such a lovely inspiring art room.. love the daybed… and the blank wall juxtaposed to the rest of the supplies, etc. office space is quite nice and simple yet efficient use of all there… the mirror and plants are a healthy vibe as well as James’ efficient design of storing and you are such a delight..

So lovely how the two of you play off of each other and vibe together. I don’t think your a wimp, I understand you and feel so due to my own health. Your such an inspiration and so is James. Thank you for sharing your process. ❤

Love all the zones you created! Love your plant babies that surround you! So nice and clean - you have made a space to let your creativity flow! Jill

You and James are so cute togethers!! And so compatible!!! ❤

I LOVE the new arrangement!! Indeed, lots of resting space to allow the new ideas to come in!! Amazing how just a little shifting makes such a difference and it looks like it will work way better, too!! Having ALL the supplies at one end is bound to flourish your creativity!!! Enjoy, I can't wait to see what comes of it all!!!❤

Looks Great Lovely . Gives off great new Creative vibes for you . 😊 I’ve finally got in and Totally Decluttered our house as I was feeling blocked creatively by all the clutter around me & then I gave our Temple Fu Guard Statue Dogs at our front & New Beachy BoHo vibe done in Acrylic Art Mediums . Which helped me to reignite the creative flow within me again 🖌️🎨😃

I love this video. You give me inspiration to get on with what I need to do. I have depression and fibromyalgia and I spend the energy I have digging out art supplies then I don't have a lot of energy to actually create. So I think I will get my art supplies out like you did so I can use my energy for creating. He's so nice to help you. Hope yall have a great week.😊

James is such a good sport. You both must have fabulous communication skills. Count your blessings, Wendy. I know you do!❤

Looks good. Your peace lily’s are thriving! They are gorgeous. It is always nice to have more breathing space!

Great video as always. You’ve been keeping me company as I finish hand sewing binding on a bag kit from six plus years ago. It was one of my many impulse buys at a show where the embroidery and patchwork combination tugged my heart. After many puzzling hours it’s nearly complete. It has been tweaked somewhat though. Plant babies. I have both the lily and spider plant/s, just potted some rooted babies and put another batch in water to root. The lily needs some talc as does an aloe Vera. She’s way too big for her current pot. I love what you’ve done and it makes complete sense to me. I wish you many hours of creation, enjoyment and peace. Best wishes to you both. James you’re a priceless diamond ❤

Love your studio. It's so bright and light. Such a wonderful creative space.

One of my favorite quotes by William Morris... “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful. “ Something I aspire to, but have yet to manage. 😉 It’s a work in progress for sure.

lol 😂 I’m doing the same here in Western Australia…. Our brains do seem to work in a very similar way Wendy 😆 even though it’s not spring….I’m getting it done before the rain comes. Now I’m off to move more shelves after a well earned rest…. Thanks for keeping me company & providing inspiration… I love your new space it’s perfect…. Wish me luck 🍀 (wish I had a James) 💫 💝 Much love to you both

You always make me feel wonderfully seen and not alone. I am a “shifter” and “mover” of things as well. I grew up that way and am still that way at 53. James is so good to you. You make a great team.

[@TheUntamedJournal]

What a lovely space to work in 😊

[@artistikitty]

Such a lovely studio space. Love what you’ve done with the refresh. Always enjoy coming along with you to your studio. TY for sharing❣️ I’m with you....must have ALL THE THINGS OUT AND AVAILABLE when creating. Can be quite the challenge. 😉💚xo
