Hello friends! I am SO thrilled to finally share my brand new stamping space with you! There’s still a lot of things I’d like to add, but I think it’s a pretty good start! I made a little video tour for you, so check it out!
Here’s some still shots of some of my favourite spaces.
This is the classroom portion of my new space. Here I have it set up for 11 class attendees, but all it takes is a little rearranging and the addition of another table and I can accommodate several more guests.
This gallery wall was a labour of love for sure. It took several tries to arrange all the items in a combination that I love. I also painted almost every element to make them go with my colour scheme. Getting it all on the wall took several hours too.
One of my favourite pieces is this refinished mantle. I bought it second hand and it was a very generic dark cherry colour. Over the Christmas break I gave it a new and funky look with some Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and of course lots of distressing.
From the moment the contract was signed to renovate our home I started dreaming up this marquee sign. I knew exactly what I wanted and I was determined to make it a reality. I’m so pleased with the outcome!
I refinished almost every piece of furniture and created all the decor myself. It was a lot of work, but it’s the kind of crafty diy fun that I love. I hope you love my new space as much as I do. Please come stamp with me in my SE Calgary studio soon!
Happy Stampin’
Allison
