it all began months ago when i emptied the art books out of the big bookcase in the living room so he could use it in his office. the books lived briefly on the mantel but were all wrong there and i couldn't even walk by without the urgent impulse to move them rising up inside me. so the books got distributed around the apartment until i felt satisfied with their placement. but this summer while he was away i cleared his desk and set up an etsy photo studio in his room with the east and west windows. now i must put everything back as it was which led me to consider how i might create a new space for photos.
by moving the easel from my workroom into the living room, i opened up a corner beside the window where i built a setup with an old crate and an ikea box. but the surface lay empty for only a few hours.
as i happened to be in the middle of a framing project (spread out all over the dining room), i kept finding great stuff for my shop, more than enough old frames and more artwork that needed a frame... and i filled the newly freed up space in a jiffy.
seems like one thing always leads to another. and another. and i can't relax until it's all organized and harmonious again.
i've been inspired by (and aspiring) some gorgeous studios lately. they are like a dream of heaven to me.
