I am so happy to be able to participate in Karen Valentine's Where Bloggers Create 2012, I think this will be my third year. I built my studio just over three years ago, so there has been a few changes and many additions of supplies, etc. It's amazing what you can pack into a small space!
This summer we experienced some changes in the floor and knew something was terribly wrong. It was caving in and we didn't know why. Long story short, underneath the floor it was retaining moisture. Our wonderful contractor came out and ripped all the flooring out and support beams and made it all new and whole again. My husband made it shiny by repainting.
Below are the pictures of my studio before I had to pack up the entire contents so that the work could be done. The end pictures of what was done. I am still moving everything back into place, but it will look pretty much the same, just brand new.....again!
Hope you will enjoy seeing my little piece of heaven on earth as much as I have enjoyed showing you.
Once all packed up, started the demolition of the flooring!
Hubby (Bob) to the rescue!
All painted and now all I have to do is put all that stuff back in! LOL
Your creative space is beautiful - especially those jars of bling! Thank you for sharing.

Yikes! It does look like you had a definite moisture problem. Glad you got it sorted out. It's a good thing you have a great contractor. Your space is gorgeous! And your little guard doggy is cute, too. :) Good luck getting everything back in place again. Best wishes, Tammy

Holy Cow! What a fantastic space . . . I love the beautiful glass holders and jars with the beads and goodies in them - so gorgeous. But I can't imagine all the work it took to pack it all up, and can imagine how challenging it will be to put it all together. I guess that's one great way to go through all of your stuff and take inventory, huh? (Wish it could have happened on your own terms, though, and not on that of a sinking floor!) Best of luck getting your studio back. It sure is a lovely space!!!

Great space, Terry! I love all the natural light you have coming in here. Your organization in the closet looks wonderful and is similar to what I am striving for in my space. Love that area of bling! Perfect to have Audrey among all those pretty pieces. Thanks for sharing your space!
