Studio Tour- Take a Peek in My Art Studio
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 жов 2024
- Here's a look inside my art studio acolorfuljourn... Over on the blog, I've got links to the cabinets, the j hooks, etc.
I’m Carolyn Dube - a mixed media art adventurer who takes the intimidation out of supplies so that you can find freedom through creativity. Play with every color of the rainbow, avoid rules whenever possible, and let the little kid inside of you free through art.

You can find me designing stencils for StencilGirl Products, teaching in person and online workshops and sharing the message of O.O.P.S. here on UA-cam and on the blog, aColorfulJourney.com
What does O.O.P.S. stand for? It stands for Outstanding Opportunities Presenting Suddenly.
Those “failures” and “mistakes” that we so harshly criticized ourselves about actually became true gifts as soon as you start saying O.O.P.S. Try saying Oops in an angry tone. It makes it even more silly!
I just can’t take myself seriously when I say Oops which is just what I needed to play. I began to play, to have fun, and to embrace all of my “mistakes”.

So inspirational - so many storage ideas - tfs!
I would never leave. I have no craft room or studio space ( for now working on it ) but I would so sleep in your space.
I love how much space you have ~ three whole big tables!!!
But I have to say, my favorite thing is that your husband made you a permanent rainbow. That is just so sweet.
I love your studio and your practical attitude. I hate cleaning my sink up too. The best solution I have found, after it's gotten particularly crusty, I stopper it and run it full of hot water, then drop in a dishwasher cube and let it set over night. After I drain out the water, it wipes out easily in 3 min or less.
Love the 🌈 rainbow, that's so sweet.
So much fun! A gorgeous space. And decorating the under-shelves for your own viewing pleasure? What a great idea!
YOUR CRAFT AREA IS LOVELY AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TALENTS! TFS!!
I'm so happy to have found you! I stumbled upon your art on Pinterest, and just LOVE your sense of color and fun. Thank you!
Thanks Carolyn. It was a fun visit.
Such a cheery and creative space, gives me ideas, thank you for sharing your space!
amazing studio 😁 I'm in the smallest tiniest room I can hardly move my chair. my thoughts are about comandering my back double bedroom for my arts and crafts but when do I put my guests when they stay over ......decisions....decisions lol 🤣🤣🤣❤ love your rainbow in the garden. I just looked at hubby with puppy eyes and he just shook his head at me 😂🤩
Okay - I just posted a studio tour on my channel and felt like it was too much..... but omigosh, your studio is mind-blowing! What an amazing space and you have an incredible amount of supplies and space! :) Love it!!
Wow i love your space and stuff so much fun watching it.
Oh I’m so jealous! 🤩
I love your creative space. I like to create in many different forms and have been trying to reorganize a large number of different media. I think my favorite thing, is the glass on your work station. Very cool. I am going to do this. I might use plexi-glass though, as I'm afraid I might break it. Absolutely awesome. thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing! I like the Command Strips holding the paint tubes. You have your very own sink! Collaging the shelf bottoms is a great idea. What a wonderful space you and Dave created.
Amaaaaazing!💓😊🌞
Oh My Gosh. Its So Fabulous.
I cant really explane how much I LOVE yours UA-cam CHANNEL and THE CRAFT ROOM Omg omg // much love;) CarinaSchembri// SWEDEN
I agree! I have many hobbies and if I can't find something, it is unlikely I will get to it when I want to. I love how your space is set up and the bright green cabinets.
Soooo beautiful... Id love to meet you and come play in your art room all day long... Wow.. Love it...
WOW!!!! This is my dream studio! I absolutely love how everything is out and useable. What a joy it must be to have such a wonderful dedicated space for play and creation.
lovely and loved space
LOL You know what I'm the same way exactly... If I can't see a thing I never check on them, even for food I bought, if it's hidden on the other side of the desk behind some stuff I never knew it's there until I went out and saw "oh I bought this"
Great video your so lucky to have a craft room, I have to craft in my bedroom.
Loved seeing your studio Carolyn!
oh my, that was such a cool tour. Kudos to Dave for the rainbow, how great is that!! Magical space for creativity and relaxing on the couch. Yay!!
Love your colourful art room wishes mine was bigger🎨🖼💜
I just found your video, thanks for sharing your studio space! You articulated my own process of starting and stopping, leaving projects out while looking for inspiration and needing to see what I have to work with. I would love to know where you found the flat files, I’ve been looking for some but the price is too high for the ones I’ve seen. I have a few of the ikea ones, which I love, but the ones for larger paper would be great. Thanks again for your videos.
How fab to get a peek into your beautiful creative space-thank you for showing us around!
Thank you for the tour Carolyn. This is such a great space and that's so cool how your husband made you a rainbow.🌈 We just finished off our basement and that means I get a new craft room so this is really giving me lots of inspiration.👍
GOSH! I looooove your studio!!!
How incredibly inspiring!!! I am just like you “Out of sight, out of mind”!! Unfortunately I have a teensie corner of a room “studio” and yes, most things are out of sight! That is why my creativity is on a hiatus.
I’m in the (slow) process of turning a 20’ toy-hauler trailer into a mobile art studio! I want to make it as much like your space - all about creating - as I can! As it is, I have a 7 1/2 foot table along one wall! Great space + I can breathe in there!
What a PERFECT location, mother-in-law quarters!! It gives you an area for every step of creating!! Love the couch! I always need to stop & ponder. I love the underside of the shelving! The colors throughout definitely shout Carolyn! And the labeling....young artists won’t understand!!! Lol!
Thanks so much for a peek into your beautiful work-space!!
Lauri
Wonderful to see where the magic happens!! Love the underside of the shelves!!🌈❤️
I've decided that leftover scraps of paper are magical Nanci, no matter how many you use, the box never looks like any are missing lol!
I absolutely love your studio Carolyn! So colorful just like your personality! Thank you for sharing!
very nice and organized.
LOVE IT! Thanks for enlightening us! This little tour really shows us that your studio is much loved by you...and your hubby!
Cool space❤
Marvelous colorful, and cleverly done studio! thanks for sharing, Carolyn.
Such an awesome studio! I so envy you the colourful space and the clever yet simple storage ideas! I'm working on my new craft space and yours is so inspirational 🥰❤️ Thank you for sharing 😊

Love your use of kitchen cabinets for work space - thanks for sharing
Kitchen cabinets can do so much!
Awesome! thank you. I am building a 24 by 24 art studio and this is so helpful. I love everything where you can see it.
Beautiful studio. Thank you for sharing

Thankyou really enjoyed your tour
Lots of good ideas for being creative.
Yes I forget where I put things etc.
👍🤗
What a fabulous studio! No wonder you are so creative. Love how you have a walk out basement. So cool! Thanks so much for sharing this. What an inspiration! :0)
Love your art space, thank you for sharing it!
💗💗💗💗
Carolyn, you are adorable! Kisses from Brazil!
This is a well-used and well-loved art studio! Thank you for sharing and I especially love the rainbow outside. Btw, who is Maxine?
My studio sink looks a lot like yours, lol!
OMG I am so happy that I found you..CarinaSchembri//Sweden
Oh, one question. How do you like storage/cabinets with all of the drawers? I think they’re from Best Craft Organizer. I was thinking about getting some. Thanks!
I like them a lot- haven't found a better way to cram so much stuff in a small space and actually be able to find it! Totally customizable so if you want the deeper drawers or the skinny ones- and they've held up well. The only drawback to me is that the drawers that are in direct sunlight have yellowed some over the last 10+ years- and I can live with that!
This video needs to come with a warning: "Watching this video may turn you green with envy and cause your keyboard and screen to be covered in drool!" My play space, aka the "art cave" is also in the basement but it's not a finished basement with only a tiny basement window to see the outside (no rainbows) and shelving is the wire stuff from Home Depot fastened to the studs. Teal colored rolling carts like yours, drawers assembled from ones on sale at Michael's and plastic drawers dragged home when I retired from my second grade teaching job. A couple of bookcases that my DH made and mountains of stuff. I've been able to spend minimal time there this past year due to chemo but now that I'm on vacation from that, I'm doing a massive tidy up and organization. My P-Touch labeler has nearly gone into meltdown. Between chemo brain and old age I can't find a thing if it doesn't have a label in 36 point type! LOVE your space!
Glad you're back in your play space on that vacation Donna! I've got a P-Touch too- so much fun labeling stuff so it can be found again! There are so many times I wish it had an even bigger font- my eyes are aging- dang bifocals- but at least I've avoided trifocals so far.
Had cataract surgery so I could ditch the reading glasses but now my 2 eyes aren't playing well together -- they don't "sync" up when trying to focus so if I start a line on the left and another on the right, chances are they won't meet in the middle. Glad I'm not a bridge builder.....
Oh wow! I could spend hours sitting in your studio, just soaking everything up! So much to see and explore, so much gorgeous colour. It's so inspiring. I wish I had space like that, I have to share my area with any guests who might stay, as it's in our small guest room, so I need to keep it tidy.
I love the rug on the floor. Is it one you bought, or made?
Thank you so much for sharing.
Julia, from the UK. x
I used to have to share the space with guests but now that the kids are gone, their rooms are guest rooms and I got to take over the entire space. The rugs are all purchased - don't have the patience yet for weaving that much
Yes, once my kids left, hubby had one room for his retro computer game collection, and the smaller room became our guest room! Our house is quite small. UK houses don't have basements very often.
but you didn't explain the letters on top of the shelves... the ones that say hi to various ppl... I always look to see who your secretly saying hi to lol... Hi Maxine, who ever you are lol
