Studio
Organization is for Squares
In my whirlwind post prior, I mentioned that I went out to IKEA to pick up some wire baskets. I bought them after seeing the way my friend Emily uses them in her studio.
They were only $4 each, and they’re meant to hang from a shelf. I intended to hang them, but ran […]
Ribbon Stand
I reassembled and repurposed a Christmas stocking tree for my studio. I wrap each order from my shop in tissue paper and baker’s twine, and my new ribbon stand will be very handy.
Pottery Barn has a similar (maybe better) item right now: the ribbon organizer.
Studio Floor, Finished
The studio looks good, even while empty! It’s amazing how much difference some molding can make – the new floor looks sharp.
Kim (Four Beds Two Baths) and Raya (The Paper Pony) are installing wood floors right now too… I’m looking forward to seeing their finished results!
Studio Floor Progress

An underlayment had to be rolled out and […]
Getting Things Done, So We Can Begin
Our next big project is going to be the studio floor. Brandon and I will be ripping out the nasty beige carpet and putting in bamboo. It’s the same bamboo that we used in the bedroom a while back.
The bedroom was our first floor experience, and the whole project took eight days (I […]
Studying the studio
When I started my business (Pink Loves Brown), I used a second bedroom in the apartment we were renting as my studio. Soon work spilled out into the rest of our home, and areas like the dining room table became the shipping center. After two years, I had finally rented a separate studio […]
We choose you, bamboo.
A decision has been made about the bedroom floor! Brandon and I went to Lowes last night and we chose solid bamboo in a very dark brown. Hooray! We ordered enough for the bedroom and for the studio, so no more yucky carpet for us!
Hello there! Thanks for visiting my blog.
