I love to see people’s art studios, craft rooms, sewing rooms…any place where people go to let their creative juices flow. It’s so interesting to see how different people organize their supplies, and how they decorate these areas, and what items they display that inspires them personally. And of course, since I only have a tiny little condo, I always get a little jealous of people who have the luxury of dedicating an entire space to their creative endeavors.
So when I came across the photos of artist Shannon Christensen’s studio, I was amazed! She turned her two-car garage into her art studio, and it’s fantastic. Here’s a peak into her creative world:
What a wonderfully creative space! And even though some of us may not have the luxury of dedicating a whole room (or our garage) to our art or craft, we can take away some fantastic ideas from this space. Click here to see the photos and read where Shannon tells about the items she used. And to see more of her gorgeous artwork, you can visit Shannon’s Portfolio.
Be inspired, and happy decorating!
Addicted 2 Decorating is where I share my DIY and decorating journey as I remodel and decorate the 1948 fixer upper that my husband, Matt, and I bought in 2013. Matt has M.S. and is unable to do physical work, so I do the majority of the work on the house by myself. You can learn more about me here.
I hope you’ll join me on my DIY and decorating journey! If you want to follow my projects and progress, you can subscribe below and have each new post delivered to your email inbox. That way you’ll never miss a thing!

I have a decorating vein or two in me as well. Thanks for the kinds words about my studio. I haven’t always had a wonderful space to work in. It used to be my dining room table. So, I do think everyone needs some kind of ‘me’ space for being creative. Even if it’s a decorated suitcase that you move from room to room make it yours.
