Seeing the way God uses color in his creation inspires my art and gives me a clearer view of His love for me and you. I'm inspired by the sparks of emotion I feel when I see color, and I hope you feel those sparks when you view my work.

Inspire Me Monday: Sawhorse Studios & Sponsors!

I am LOVING these studios and home offices with sawhorse tables. I don't know why I love this table so much but I do. I love the "lived in/worked in" look of most of these spaces and the industrial edge of the table.

I'm also really digging the light in these spaces. (They also make me glad I kept our walls white!) I'm so thankful that my "studio"(aka extra bedroom) gets great afternoon light.

Also, check out this post on Whole Lotta Lovely blog. I didn't have time to search for those images and couldn't pull them off her site, but I am absolutely SWOONING over these studios. Especially the very last one with the teal rug and twin orange chairs.

Guess what guys? This is one Inspire Me Monday that is coming to life! After church yesterday, Chris and I bought all the wood we need to build my very own sawhorse table for my studio! We'll be going off this tutorial which looks pretty simple. I can't wait for that huge space to spread all my paints and canvases out on. And I can't wait to "dirty" it up with all my paint splatters!



Okay, interrupting your normally scheduled "Inspire Me Monday" post for some fun ( in my opinion) announcements!
