2018 Winter Studio

  

As the season begins I am look at my fifth winter trap in the house. 

For those of you that didn't know I live in a power wheelchair and don't have a van yet.  The only transit van that can handle my specialty chair is private pay and much too expensive to use for anything but doctors visits.

For someone in my situation this looked hopeless. My spouse and I argue, debate or discuss this mess all of the time. He likes it this way but I was drowning and there was so much crap on the floor that I couldn't even drive  my wheelchair across the room. As we approached our 50th wedding anniversary, I decided that I'd given him nearly half a century to do things his way and now it was time to give my ideas a try. 20 days of nearly constant debate over the project ensued but I am closer than ever to achieving a victory here.

    My "Bedroom"

   

  Gift shop next to desk 36"W x 48"T

My favorite area:

15"W X 72"L worktable/desk space by the front window for a garden view and natural light.

    Shown here with a recently finished painting 

      Still a lot of things to move around     

Julia at "work", play and life 

My favorite place-I hope to put in better windows soon.

 There is still a lot more to do but I am   

encouraged by the results so far.

I've already started a few projects

 in here, even though the space is 

far from finished. The first of them

 was to cover the out sides of the 

bottles with adhesive papers like scrap 

book or wrapping papers applied to 

the sanded outside surface with mod 

podge or a similar water based sealer, 

glue and sealer.
