i art u!!!!!

today, you are in for a real TREAT! for the past couple of months or so i have been transforming my dining room into a studio/work area. yup...it was SO necessary! it's been a really slow process (and in no way done!) but it's also been really good to finally have a space that is comfortable and inspiring! during these past few months i have been OBSESSED with interiors--especially art studios, work spaces, desk areas, desks, chairs...desk acessories, etc. etc. i have been scouring blogs for images and inspiration! some peeps have mad style! i've asked three amazing and talented artists/designers with this said "mad style" to share their spaces today! i was so stoked with all the images i received (i didn't expect any less)! they are all so different and beautiful! first up:

KATRINA TAN from PUGLY PIXEL (& KATRINA & THE PUPS!)

i'm sure you are all familiar with katrina's amazing blog--a mecca of incredible resources! i have learned so much from this lovely lady! not to mention, her life and the way she expresses herself is so inspiring! 

take a look at her space...i think the pictures pretty much speak for themselves!!!
