Got all my pics up and the 2 canvases I purchased from http://www.canvaspeople.com they have great specials sometimes! These are my favorite pics of “My First Four” and my granddaughter.  Thank you Sarah, Cassi, Lisa & Heidi for bringing me your beautiful children to practice with! You will always be “My First Four”!

When you don’t have an extra pair of hands you make do with what you got! LOL  I marked the wall where the studs were (kinda 16″ apart) and then predrilled the holes in my wall-board.

I added the trim after the shelf was up.  Used a bead of wood glue again and then used my brad nailer (nail gun with 5/8″ nails/brads).

I just put up some pictures I had but will add black frames with photos I’ve taken.  The two canvases are pics I’ve done.

Love them! They serve a purpose and look great!  Super easy to do!

I decided I wanted to put up a couple of picture rails in the studio over that big cabinet.  I went to Lowe’s and bought 2 preprimed – 1×3’s that were 12′ long and had them cut into 5′ lengths (gave me 4 – 5′ with a couple of 2′ left overs).  I clamped two of them together and pre-drilled some holes.

Then I took them apart and applied a bead of wood glue along the length of the shelf board.

Re-clamped and used some drywall screws ( 1 1/4″) to attach the shelf board to the back board and let them dry.  Did the same thing to the other 2 5′ boards.

I had some 8′ trim pieces in the barn.  I’ll use these for the front of the shelf board so my picture frames don’t fall off.  I cut the trim pieces to 5′ and painted everything – Behr Semi-gloss Bright White. Then waited for everything to dry . . . . .

Before . . .

Where the editing will be done!  Only one side of the room for now, lol. The rest is a mess.

I loveee these curtains!  If found them at Target and they’re actually black out curtains. The metallic gold will look fabulous with my NEW City Girl Farms Photography LOGO!  Here’s the link for the curtains at Target:  https://tinyurl.com/y9mzs29f

My intentions are to finish this room before the end of the month. This is my “collect all room”.  In my head it started as a craft room but for the last 3 years (since I moved in) it’s been the room to shove stuff when I didn’t have a place for it at the time.  The “Little Bow Pink” closet re-do is in this room and I had to start there to clear some stuff out before I could tackle the room itself.  It’s always worse and overwhelming before it gets better, lol.  I’m excited about this room because it’s the first room of the original house that I’m really tackling.  I going to use it for my home photography studio so I’m painting it white for some better natural light reflection.  I don’t think it’s been paint for 100 years – seriously!  Well, hopefully I’ll have some updated pictures soon.
