Recently, I posted a picture of this hutch that got repainted. A reader asked me for close ups to see how it was decorated inside. Well, its a bit of a jumble inside, no real decorating plan went into it, I'm afraid.
Since it is in the studio, its more storage than anything else. It holds things that I've made, or stuff that I want to make into something else.
It houses my Sugarwings Themed Art Obsession Collection too.
As well as all things Dorky. I like vintage dog things, and Yorkies are hard to find, so there are a few Scotties in the collection that I pretend are little Dorkies.
There is a large section that is crown related too. Mostly just stuff i like. Things that make me smile.
This cabinet is also in my studio, its my newest piece. I got it pretty cheap, and just love to have glass doors on a cabinet. If I don't see what I have, I forget its there. Especially with supplies in the studio.
Its important to me that my studio is pretty, a place I want to visit, not just to work, but just to be happy in. I'm always adding and changing things here and there. And decorating for the seasons, too. Here is the banner I made for "Romantic Gothic Ghosts".
If you'd like to make one yourself, (all images and directions are provided) please check out the class!
I just LOVE your cabinets Karla!!!! Well, really your entire studio! I know you must have so many treasures tucked in the nooks and crannies ~ I hope you’re doing wonderful sweet girl….hugs and love, Dawn
I love when you show your studio, especially all the little details! I need some glass front cabinets to keep my goodies in because it’s so hard to find everything when it’s stored in boxes and closets! Plus it makes me happy seeing all my pretty supplies! I love your Gothic Ghost pieces hanging in the window!

I rather like the jumble inside of that fabulous piece! It is truly a cabinet full of curiosities!
What a pretty studio you have. A wonderful space to work in!!
I love the closeups. I too am a visual organizer. I am working on a better system for the small space I have.
It takes time. But I dream big studio dreams LOL
Till then I will live vicariously through you. Thanks for sharing.
I’m just like you, Karla, in that I like to have glass doors on cabinets to see what is there. Otherwise I do forget! I’d put glass drawers in my cabinets, too, if I could! : ) I love the things you’ve put in your hutch and cabinet ~ it really is decorating even though you think you’ve just stuck stuff in there, because it is things you’ve made or enjoy looking at. That’s always good enough for me as far as decorating goes!
I LOVE, LOVE your studio. I agree with you, the place has to be pretty or with things that you like to feel inspire and that is why I have your dress form/ birdcage in my scrap room. Thank you Karla for such a beautiful inspiration.
best regards,
Wanda
Beautiful! Karla, if you can remember, who was the lady who did a tutorial on Glue Books not too long ago? Can’t find it anywhere, and I know you mentioned it in the blog at the time…Your Friend, Bobbi
Morning Karla…love your work place….it is so nice to suround our selves withwhat we love…especially where we work…Lorraine
Karla,
so many treasures, in your wonderfull cabinet, love your collections, and artwork, you have a fantastic studio, full of beauty–I know from earlier fhotoes.
Your banner is gorgeus,too.
Hugs and smiles, Dorthe
WOW! That first cabinet is packed with treasures. I’m sad that I don’t have an art studio. Someday though . . . :~)

karla! i love your studio – i feel the same way – i like my work/fun place to be inspiring and nice. i am envious of the dog collection. it is hard to find them. i have small dogs but none as big as yours. love em. love the little ones infront of cabinet as well.
What a great place to play. I agree with you. Our areas need to be fun wo we WILL want to go there. If it is messy we won’t want to work there.

I know that I’ve told you before, but I could live in your studio – Dorkies and all!
Leann
Such beauty all around you! Thank you for offering the halloween class!
I have a Yorkie collection too…with a few Scotties also. You are so right that it is hard to find Yorkie stuff. I have found most of mine around the Holidays. Love your cabinets!!

That cabinet is full of joy! I love views of your extensive work space, but I’m curious….does your husband have a “man cave”? He must be a pretty agreeable fellow….to go along with all of that foof!
A while ago I was at KC Willis’ Studio and Gallery for a workshop with Judy Wilkenfeld. The day after the workshop I was lucky enough to spend a couple of hours with KC. Your china cabinet reminds me of KC’s “inspiration boards”. She has several in the studio. I think your china cabinet is your inspiration board.
Thanks for sharing! It is lovely! Would love to touch everything in that china cabinet for the inspiration it would convey!
Hi Karla, I love your studio and the hutch filled with
your treasures is just wonderful! Twinkle and Agnes Rosebud
look so sweet together. I hope that you are having
a wonderful and restful time away.
Hugs,
Janis
