Florist Studio /Craft Studio

July 26, 2019

I know I have said it before, BUT  this is my favorite project ever!  You may have been following this  project journey on Instagram,  but if you are joining  us for the first time  let me catch you up to speed.  (You can always watch my Instagram Stories saved to my Florist Studio Highlights  as well.)

My Grandma is one of the sweetest souls you will ever meet.  She is also one of the most creative people  I have ever met. I  strongly believe that  genetics can play  a role in our talents and abilities. She is a very creative woman, as is my Mother, and  I believe have them to thank in part for cultivating my love to creatre. Well, recently, my Grandma and I were discussing her florist studio/craft room. We were JUST TALKING  about good storage systems and she asked for any recommendations  I might have…  haha boy did I EVER!

After a few brainstorm sessions, I  notified her I would be paying her a visit. 🙂

I was like a dog with a bone when it came to  ideas for a space designated to CREATING!   Little did she know I had some ideas that I just had to see  come to life.  The biggest hurdle would be  the distance.  You see, she lives in Michigan (close to my childhood home), and I have since moved to Florida.  But what is a little distance when you have creative juices flowing !

In order to make this work effectively,  I decided to build all the pieces in Florida and tow them up to Michigan in an enclosed trailer.  Let me show you the major pieces that were designed and built custom just for this “florist shop”!

(I do have build plans for this Ikea Trofast Storage Unit available  here. )

 I  knew she needed as much storage as possible, but she also needed  plenty of open workspace.  A mobile island was just the ticket.  It would allow for flexibility and maximize practicality.   The last build  was the (in my opinion) the crowning jewel of this install.    I mean how on earth do you expect to have a “Florist Studio” without a full-blown flower display ?   I insist that you can not!

Building all these pieces was a blast, but the journey had just begun!  I had already  enlisted the help of one of my MOST FAVORITE humans in the whole world, Jenn (AKA Build-Basic).  To make things even better,  luck would have it that  our close friends Jamie and Jamison from Rogue Engineer live in a neighboring city!  We have all known each other for years, and take any chance we have to work together!  Can I just say how much I love the maker community and the tribe/family that we have become?

Once we arrived in Michigan, it was all hands on deck!  Jamison, Jenn, and I were a blur  of power tools,  and custom-builds.  While I TRIED to come as prepared as possible there were a few details that I plum ran out of time for… enter Grandma. As I stated earlier she is a wonderful artist, and I “NEEDED” some custom botanical prints. I had it in my head. I could see it.  So I shamelessly put my Grandma to work. *Spoiler Alert* her work did not disappoint! 

With Grandma’s help,  I was halfway through accomplishing my wall art…but I also needed some custom frames. So we buttoned up loose ends at my Grandma’s and headed over to Rogue Headquarters for a quick project.

In all of 30 minutes of work we had custom frames that would compliment  my Grandma’s handiwork  and complete the space.

Didn’t they turn out beautiful?  

 After a late night of staging, and a quick photo session this space was done. D.O.N.E. Done!

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the beauty  in the details. Shall we ?

 

Okay, okay, without further ado,  let me show  you what all the fuss was about. 



Like I said before , this has been hands-down my favorite project to-date. Creating a space for a “creative” was a BLAST  in-and-of-itself. But to be able to do it for someone  I love,  surrounded with people dear to me was the absolute best!

All-in-all it was such an amazing experience.  There were so many people pitching in to make it happen and I can’t thank them all enough!  My Mom kicked into full-on “Nana Mode” to help with the tricky logistics of my children, she entertained and logged more hours driving then any Nana ever should for her Grandbabies.  We had Aunts, Uncles and Cousins planning activities and entertaining aforementioned kiddos. Friends traveling,  brainstorming, and building. Awesome brands like DAP, Purebond that were eager to be apart of such a fun project. (You can see full build plans brought to you by DAP here.)  Then of course all of the awesome folks like yourself that have followed along and given encouragement every step of the way. There were so many moving parts to this install and I think that is what made it so special. .

Thanks for following along, and “take luck”!
Corey

    This is beautiful! I love how it all came together. Those frames are gorgeous! What type and color of paint did you use to paint the cart and flower display?

Meet Corey

Hi everyone, my name is Corey, and I have a problem. I can’t leave well enough alone… The best therapy usually involves a variety of power tools. So, in the few “spare” moments I am not entertaining my two beautiful, rambunctious, boys, I can typically be found hunched over a sewing machine and/or covered in sawdust. All in the efforts to create a perfect balance of aesthetics and practicality in our home.

I leaned in heavily to the dark moody feel for the guest bedroom makeover and I love it! The dark sienna  hue, coupled with my @kilzbrand #accentwallchallenge is absolutely stunning. (If I do say so myself.)
I have a room tour, wall tutorial and source links on the site today. #linkinprofile #sponsored #everyprojectisworthit
@Kilzbrand presented me their #accentwallchallenge @Kilzbrand presented me their #accentwallchallenge, and you know how much I love a good challenge!
If I am being completely honest, I feel like I rocked this challenge. It is absolutely insane how a single wall can change the entire feel of a room. 

On the site I have a full tutorial on how you too can create this look and all the fun details about my choice of color from the Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines® paint line & the KILZ 3® Premium Primer

Am I the only one who tackles unnecessary projects Am I the only one who tackles unnecessary projects before entertaining guests? As I was preparing the guest room for the Holidays I had an epiphany. I had a vision of what this room could be, and I just cannot let it go - this room needs an accent wall!

I am teaming up with the great folks over at @kilzbrand to create the perfect accent wall, with a gorgeous color from the Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines® paint line & KILZ 3® Premium Primer. Stay tuned because this accent wall is going to be gorgeous. I just need to pick my accent color. What do you guys think, clay or sage?  #sponsored #kilz #GuestRoomMakeover #AccentWallChallenge #EveryProjectIsWorthIt
