it started with me wanting that white glass cabinet & some new chairs...i am now in heaven!! the girls love it-they say it looks like a "real studio" now...the new desk & white chair is their fave to sit at(they fight for it)...see all their finger prints on the desk!! LaVaughn loves it too...he comes in turning on the new lighting & taking a seat in that white chair too.
At night lighting drove me crazy, I have a hard time telling pink from red and matching up colors...i have been through so many bulbs trying to brighten things up. I was also feeling that my studio was getting too cluttered. The stuff i had in my windows began to drive me crazy. The old cabinet was to small & not so cute, lol. I needed a place for pattern papers...and so on...
we had to take the door down...this is the Liatorp glass cabinet from Ikea...it's huge with tons of space...not sure what will end up on the top shelf...and those plastic drawers will be gone as soon as i figure out better storage for the stuff in them!!
Skruvsta white chair-love it!
Tertial desk lights-super bright, yay!!
Vika Gruvan/ Vika Artur desk-nothing new to most of you!!
Flygge wall lights-very cool!!
Lindmon blinds-what a big difference!

new trash can, i've been wanting this for a while-lol
photo album here
two Jules chairs-the girls & their friends are always on the computer or laptop...only thing, these chairs make you feel like you will slide right off...they have a weird slant to them...and i don't think I put them together wrong!!
the canvas on top are way too bausy for me...but they will stay until a new idea comes to mind!!
a couple of pages...for the first page I used MM 5th Ave papers & spiral book, flowers, brads, staples, 5th ave chipboard circle; Hero Arts phrase stamps on photo & swirl stamp on red scallop pp; Heidi Grace stright pin; Fancy Pants scallop felt; Bazzill polka dot brad
this is a bit wild for me-but i loved the colors together...MM 5th ave damask pp, Noteworthy felt flowers, anthology scallop chipboard frame, rub-on letters; Jenni Bowlin tickets, journaling flower & house; swirl stamp Rhonna; Stampin Up stamps for the circles; Strano green dot ribbon
I am really enjoying palying with action...I never know what they will do to a photo...I just keep trying different ones until I get a cool look-like the first photo of Amira from last week...omg, no more little girl...she'll be in middle school next year...
I used Maggie's color pop & Leah's xactions in old church-who knows what else!!
same photo with just Maggie's lighten up & color pop actions
Q & A ; )
eta:i will update this throughtout the day
Hi Keisha-
I recently found your work on 2 Peas and I love your style! A layout of yours first caught my attention with the bookshelves in the background because I have similar ones in black. That was about a month ago and then somewhere along the way I was reading a post about people's favourite blogs to read and yours was listed. I clicked on it and was pleased to see it was you and how many other wonderful layouts you share here on your blog.
None of my business, I know, but if you care to share, I'd love to know why you're in China and for how long and where you're from here in the states and if you'll be coming back soon? It seems to be a very exciting adventure!
Sorry for the long post, but I'm not sure how to reach you on email.
Thanks again for all of the wonderful inspiration you share!
