Creating My Art Studio

Unfortunately I do not have a pic of the floor before I painted it. But you can imagine it was just a gray, concrete floor.

I used: concrete floor paint of 2 different colors, with a dual roller to give it a marble like finish. Then I varnished the top to give it a shine.

You can purchase the paint in many stores. For this I used a Brick Red and a Tan. I cant remember the actual colors as I did this project about 4 years ago.

To give the door molding and the gray cabinet a brick look I used run of the mill, craft paint. For this part insted of 2 colors I used 3 different colors: red brick, brown and a tan; painting it with a natural sponge and a thin paint brush.

My husband installed the track lighting as shown here, and in the photo above. The fan was there before.

The rest of the walls were primed and painted white. My husband built the chest and table shown in this photo. I covered the top of the chest in cushion and fabric to create seating.

I also made the pillows on the floor using the same fabric. The rest of the furniture I did a wash on to match the chest & table; again using craft paint.

The divider shown in the photo on the opposite side of the studio is actually a louver door. It worked great to divide my gallery from my work space.
