Beautiful Home Living ~ Black Banisters

Painting your banister is an attractive way to dress up your staircase. I mentioned in my "What Color is your Banister" post that we painted our banister (which leads up to the renovated third floor) a black lacquer with a shiny finish. The black color provides a nice contrast against the pastel walls. Here are the photos.

In the Studio with Ish and Chi

Ever since I finished my Art Studio renovation, I am fascinated by other inspirational work spaces. Viv from Ish and Chi has such a creative and
whimsical place to work. It's so refreshing!

Art Studio / Home Office

I cannot tell you how happy I am that my new Art Studio is finished. Every morning the light pours in this bright and cheerful room and provides me with so much inspiration for the day! In the center of the room I created a custom island with wide shelves. I designed it specifically to store my watercolor paper which is 26" by 40". It is movable with casters on the bottom,
so I can place it anywhere in the room.

Remember this pegboard post? I created a large inspiration board to show my framed and unframed watercolors. I painted the pegboard the same Spring Mint color as the walls. Then I framed the pegboard with white trim for a finished look. This is the focal point of the room and the ultimate organizer.
The entire board measures 5 1/2 feet by 8 feet.

I use bull dog clips hanging on S hooks to display various works in progress.

Over on the side of the room, I put in cabinets to store my supplies, with a dark teal/turquoise laminate top {which really looks like granite}.

In this post, I mentioned we were taking a trip to IKEA. My desk is made up of two Vika Artur trestles and a nice glass beveled edge top. I love my Jules swivel chair as well. Featured on the wall is my original watercolor dress painting.

Another IKEA purchase that holds and protects my prints is the Alex drawer unit on casters. On top I have my new Hp wireless scanner and copier which I love. I picked a beautiful light wood flooring. This cleans well {in case I spill some paint} and is functional with all the movable furniture in the room.
Art Studio/ Work Space
I am big on organization. The fabric bins on my desk come from
Momfetti and Target.

My best-selling "Summer Breeze" giclee on canvas brings color to the room. These are great to place in a stand on your favorite table, or hang on the wall.
Thank you for coming by!

Organizing Tips

It is almost 2010, and you know what that means...
Time to Get Organized.
I need to see what is important; therefore, using wall space is a must.
If presented in the right way, your organizers
become part of the room's design and decor.
You can't beat the modular daily system from Pottery Barn. Everything at eye level.
I love wire baskets ~~ you can see what is inside!
Create your own inspiration board rather
than putting your ideas in the drawer
{where you will forget about them}

Instead of throwing your ribbon and thread in a box, I love this DIY ribbon organizer to see what you have!

Custom Name Magnets


These custom magnets are so great! How many people have a wide variety of magnets on the fridge, work board, etc. They don't match do they? I would love to buy an assortment of these, and create an inspiration board. You could have a word of the day! So many uses, and so beautiful too!
