DIY Project My Studio Makeover~Feeling Groovy The BIG Reveal Studio Tour

written by Rebecca E. Parsons

It’s DIY (Do It Yourself) Project time again!!! I decided to spruce up, refresh…okay totally makeover my in-home art studio…and make over I did…this is the story of how drab beige walls (there when I moved in trust me) were transformed into a riot of color…here is the result:

the drawing table area

the vintage paisley Feeling Groovy stenciled wall

the wall that had the fox hunting mural

the gallery wall with my napping spot

vignettes

here is a virtual studio tour of the makeover…

the inspiration artwork is hung

my studio sign installed

I am…

the color scheme I used

See the entire 4-phase project by links below:

Part 1 – Glidden Testers

Part 2 – Painting the Walls

Part 3 – Stenciling

You should know that this shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias #GliddenTesters. The ideas and opinions are 100% my own. Vintage Paisley Stencils were donated by Cutting Edge Stencils.
