From the Artist: When a son moved out, I turned his bedroom into my art studio! I gave my musician-husband a chance at first dibs to make it his music studio, but when he didn't speak up soon enough, I said "Okay, it's mine, all mine!"

My favorite thing about this room is that it's at the front of the house and the most perfect breeze blows in all the time! I spend my days working in a custom-built workshop for my soapmaking business in my backyard, and my nights working on art in this studio... hence the fairy lights for mood and magic!
