in the final days of january 2013…

crazy eyes

How are you my friends? Happy 2013 to everyone! I hope you guys have eased into the new year comfortably. 2013 is plugging along nicely for the Lyons’ Den. I have been focusing on long neglected house things. Things like the downstairs power room and my children’s bathroom:

I am thrilled to report the powder room is 92% complete. I just need to find a suitable mirror and paint the switch plates with something wonderful like my friend Regina does for her line of switch plates (which look to be almost sold out at the moment!). The kids’ bathroom is 85% complete. Cabinets are painted and they look amazing if I do say so myself. Still need to wrap up a little more wall painting and then get towel racks and toilet paper holders back on the walls. Once the bathrooms are finished then I have some curtains to sew up for the dining room and one wall in our office loft to paint. Then comes the SUPER fun stuff:

I don’t have the words to describe how truly excited I am about this studio renovation. The thought of having dedicated space for each of the areas of art I LOVE to work in and to be able to move from one to the next without having to stop everything to clean up and switch out gear and supplies is incredibly exciting. I can feel a huge creative surge coming! I cannot wait!!
