Update - new home with the perfect "art studio"

After years of dreaming of moving to the Sunshine Coast, earlier this year I decided to take the plunge. I've always lived in the one area so this was a big move. At least an hour and a half away.

 

So I was fortunate to sell my house immediately with the option to rent for up to three months. However, finding the right home proved more difficult that I expected. With the long drive just to view houses, along with packing, planning, etc, it just seemed to slowly drain away energy along with creativity and any urge to paint.

 

The trouble was not finding the right area, location or even the outside of the house, but one with more than one large bed room. I wanted a "studio" where I could have a few areas to paint, room for jewellery making, polymer clay, paper crafts, computer & printer.

 

After two months I found the right place and settlement was on 30 July. I have been here for five weeks and now I finally feel the excitement of painting coming back.

 

This is my new "studio". Still a work in progress and a bet messy:
