colour my world

max's art studio is up and running...with the hopes that now that he has his own organized space, all of me and matt's art supplies won't go missing anymore. 

printer paper won't be abducted from its home. and the jar by my desk will have more than a few empty mechanical pencils in it.

max has sticky art fingers.

i put 3 of the lack side tables together (the yellow version was on clearance) to make a drawing surface. it works pretty well, especially for when he's working with his large roll of paper. and like me, max likes to color and paint on his knees..close to the floor (i'm a indian-style painter..haha). the side tables are just the right height.

matt and i found some vintage metal baskets to tuck underneath and filled them with pounds and pounds of paper. i give it a couple weeks before they're empty.

we're planning on doing some paper making around here soon. i think max would find it interesting. i would love any and all advice on the matter from all you paper makers out there!

i found this laundry hanger at ikea and thought it looked like a pretty little chandelier. it was a must...and the clips are perfect for drying messy masterpieces.

form and function for just a few dollars!

(it would make a funny nursery mobile too, no?)

my inner 6 year old wants to hide away up there. 

i can't wait to see what my little guy gets himself into. 

hopefully something messy and odd and wonderful!
