Before & After: Heather's Basement Workspace

It clearly took some serious elbow grease for Heather and her husband to transform the raw basement space of their Rhode Island home into a functional (and comfortable) office and studio where Heather silkscreen prints her sweet cards and t-shirt designs.

They brought tons of light into the space and it’s obviously a studio that is meant to be used in addition to looking good. Go to Heather’s Etsy shop, heatherjeany, to see more of her designs.

& of course, your work is lovely. Having a great studio space like that can be so inspiring! Mine isnt nearly as fashionable, I'm jealous!

Love it! If you have extra flor tiles, you can mount them on the wall as a pinboard. I've been wanting to create a work space like this for a while...great job!
