In Spring 2022 we did something crazy and changed our “Master Bedroom” into my studio and moved into one of the considerable smaller bedrooms in the home. Here is the link to the post on that story if you are new to this blog – A “New” Studio.
I’ve made a lot of changes since, and will someday share an update on it’s current configuration, but here is how the master bedroom was transformed in May 2022:
The master bathroom is off my studio (the curtains you see in the image above lead into the master bathroom) and the master bedroom closet is inside the master bathroom. The master bedroom closet is the biggest closet in the house; and I call it the “Big Closet”. (Actually it is about the size of the room I rented when I first went to college.)
It seemed silly to walk through my studio, and then through the bathroom to get our clothes, especially to John who like quick access to his clothes to dress for work in the morning. So a couple weeks ago we moved my studio storage from the two small closets in the other two upstairs bedrooms (one being the one we sleep in) into the master bedroom closet!
Here is my new studio storage in the Big Closet (and yes I have to walk through the master bathroom to get to it, but it is totally worth it to me):
I like that I had enough room in it to even put a table.
I’ve been working on getting my Etsy shop restocked (I even have 4 listings now up on my Textiles & Smiles Etsy Shop) and this closet gives me plenty of room to organize my items for sale as well as my crafting materials.
As far as my fabric stash, I’ve organized my entire stash to be on display in my studio so I can see exactly what I have and actually use it! No more fabric tucked away in a closet. I also did a HUGE fabric purge again and I am down to just what I am really going to use. I’ll do a post in the future about my new fabric storage and updated arrangement of my studio.
Oh and John removed the shelves (which stored my crafting supplies and my fabric) he built in the two smaller closets upstairs in the two other bedrooms, and installed closet organization systems for our clothes in those closets. So we each have our own small closet for our clothes but they are nicely organized. I also ended up purging a bunch of clothes when I moved from the large master bedroom closet to a small bedroom closet.
