From a Garage to a Studio Apartment - the Transformation

see that little garage?

starting 

today

you will watch

it 

transform

into

a

charming

studio apartment

don't know

how 

long

it will take - 

hopefully

maybe 

six weeks.....

        but, then 

              this IS 

                   SLO town

the

garage

belongs to

this

little

cottage..

it was built

in

1927

from a 

kit

by

Pacific Kit Homes

that

was 

shipped

from 

Los Angeles to SLO

by train

(you can see the original plan when you click on Pacific Kit Homes)

the new studio

will

preserve

the

 integrity

and

history

of

the

little place

 - and it will give it new life

         - it's own little identity

 the garage

has

this 

great

roof 

pitch

to it

the pitch will give the studio 

an 

airy 

and

 open feel

it

will

have it's

own

little

yard

- fenced in for privacy

(and to be pet friendly)

new 

large

windows

-for brightness

(there will be two large windows replacing the garage door

and one where the vent is)

and

it will have

lots of

fun

and

charming touches

that

will make it

a

perfect

little home

for 

someone

one

day

I 

will

take

you 

along

on

this 

adventure...

     it might get messy (as most remodels do)

              but you will be a part of

                    this with us from the

                            start (today) to the finish

I'm Baaaack...... and wait to you see what begins tomorrow!!!!!!

I 

have 

so

not blogged

in quite a while

.....

I 

can't claim

busyness

    or even laziness

..really

  

just a 

cray-cray

new

ObSeSSiON

....

you see

my dear friend

Barbara (as in Happy Go Smile Barbara)

turned 

me on to

an

online

art course (ecourse, I think its called)

by

Kelly Rae Roberts

(if you click on her name you can go to her website)

Kelly

(and her side kick Lynx)

teach you

how to

create

really 

fun   happy 

and easy

mixed media art

I did the eclass

and then 

Barbara and I

had some fun

both

together

and with friends

making art

AND THEN

Barbara tells me

about the

Art Abandonment Project

where

you make

something (anything) special

and 

leave it for someone to find

....to make them smile

       

       it is so fun!!!  

I have heard from 

just

 a handful

of finders

but

creating

something

colorful

and 

fun

and

even

meaningful

has been

 addictive!

here are

a few

of

my

creations

Those

were 

all 

abandoned...  as were about ten more

   

so

blogging

has taken

a 

temporary

back - seat

(I didn't really think my 9 followers would mind my absence)

a new project starts tomorrow.....

Tune in  -  it will super FUN!
