Studio Tours
From my kitchen table to cozy loft spaces and the formal dining room of a hundred-year-old house, I’ve worked and played in studios of all shapes and sizes, and shared them all on my blog!

My current little nest under the eaves (since 2024)
We converted the loft over the garage in our new suburban home and I'm head-over-heels in love with this cozy little space. Its best feature is the abundance of natural light!
My previous studio in an old house (2019 - 2024)
This large room used to be the formal dining room in a 1901 French country house. Complete with double doors and roses on the ceiling!
Moving into my previous studio (2019 - 2024)
It’s so much fun to move into a new space and figure out how you’ll make it work. This was my first set up when we moved into a 1901 home. It changed many times after that!
A top-floor room by the woods (2015-2019)
Before moving to the countryside, we rented a suburban home near a little wooded area. My art room was on the top floor with a view of the trees. We loved it so much that we’ve moved back to the neighborhood!
My very first art studio! (2013-2015)
In our very first little house, after three years of painting at my kitchen table, it became clear that art was much more than a hobby for me. So we converted the attic space into my very first studio!
