Studio Friday: Unusual
We don’t have so much space in the kitchen that we have placed the freezer in the studio wherein it has also become the place where we put the other things since the room is a bit bigger. I wanted to convert it to our bedroom because I got lots of things but we did not come up with a nice compromise so we let it be. The first picture is a stand for a big train station. Before, It has been lying like a big table and have not been used for so many years and was used as a dumping station of all the little things my husband has - like scissors, screws, papers you name it….I used to call it “remind me later place”. I agree with him that we can make it beautiful and running again but if we have a much bigger space and time to play with it. It’s like that we come in and go in the house and forget about it that it accumulates dust and some of the parts are also breaking everytime he takes or does something near it. Another unusual thing is some kind of a ladder used for open ceilings or attic which we don’t have at all. For someone like my husband who have lots of ideas for the house which are all in his mind, and only stays there-in his mind because he is not a superman he thought he was, and can do everything when actually, he has no time to pursue everything because of the demands in his job. I used to tease him that he is only good in starting everything and it’s me who will finish the rest and who get the blame at the end-it’s me if something was not right or whatever. It sounds like I am complaining but actually, it has been resolved and he knows I have a point in what I have been saying. We are actually trying to put some creativity and harmony in our marriage which afterall we don't think we have lost at all.

wow, beautiful trainworld!
my father has a train station even bigger in my old girls room back home, it takes up the whole room and I've been telling him he should try to make so that it could be moved or hoist to the ceiling, but no, he just keeps playing. guess his creativity goes out to that project a lot. :-)
hi naomi! i got used telling those words that he finally agreed to do what i want and made the train station standing *LOL*
It is really fun when it is really running and I enjoyed making it beautiful once....
thanks both of you and have a nice weekend.
Its so cool to see these unusal things it really gives us a little peak into what your studio might look like! so cool.
Wow! So so unusual!! What a beautiful little world for your trains you have there, such a fantastic hobby! Reminds me of germany. My brother and I used to have a huge Lego world under his bunkbed we played with all teh time. It was awesome!
The freezer is funny and that ladder is really unusual but...you never know. hahaha
I like that 'remind me later' place, too. Neat!
Okay, you can call me strange but seeing that train stand standing on it's side I came up with this idea. Why don't hang it on the wall? It would make an usual piece of art! And the ladder... It would make a perfect place to hang picture or magazines on. I've seen a ladder used before that way and it looks really great! That way it can become more part of your studio.
thanks alex and tine-i think there will always unusual things in any room isn't it? and having the freezer in the studio makes me feel like i am always hungry for ice cream.
hej marianne! nice idea! i think i just have to remove the one in front of it to have a view of the train. i am sorry that i forgot to say that my husband made a very nice flexible stand with rolling wheels that we can always move it and have it lie down just like before, in case we wanted to play with it.
and another good idea for the ladder-actually i think the steps could be too weak as a ladder and we really don't have anything to climb it with *LOL* thanks a lot!
He, he! My brother and I had a train like that, too, when we were kids. But somehow my brother always bossed me around with it and I was hardly allowed to build anything. So I lost interest. I like the "remind me later place" very much, too!!! I certainly know about those places ;-))
