Tomorrow, I'm getting the heck out of here. You're lucky I didn't use another word, because it's 115 degrees!
Our family is headed to Coronado Island for five days, Woo HOOOOO!. We've been going every year since the girls were little, and last year my brother got married right there on the beach. Hotel Del is in my blood. My parents took me there, and now I take my kids there. But, we stay somewhere cheaper and drive the whoppin' 3 minutes to the Del's beach everyday. We also do a Disney trip every year and stay at the same place. The girls anticipate these traditions, and they enrich our lives.
But before I go, I thought I'd show you my workspace. In case you were wondering. Because unless you have a dedicated shop, it can be a challenge. I really wish I had a basement. But, they don't really do those in Arizona, although they are starting to.
For now, and until Romeo can get a handle on the garage, my workspace is my patio. When the weather is nice, I love it. Right now, not so much.
This is where I do my spraying. I need to make an enclosed booth. Again, waiting for Romeo to help me with that. Until then, I just sand the dust nibs. 
^^^ Sometimes it gets pretty out of control. Chaotic, really ^^^
It can be quite embarassing when guests come over.
But, I usually manage to get it organized so that my creative mind is freed up.
Yep, that's my kids' old toy bin. Now it's mine...all mine.

All the wood stains, paints, and topcoats are grouped so that I can find them easily.
For now, it works okay.
Talk to you in a few,

Have fun! I love Hotel Del.
At least your workspace is organized!
Have fun on the beach. My sister was married on that beach 4 years ago! Such a beautiful place.
Je.al.ous! Hope you have a gah-reat trip!
Then you must be going to the San Deigo area. My daughter lives in Mission Beach, San Deigo and she said the weather has not been great but is superb this weekend. In CA if it is hot in the Central Valley it is perfect at the beach. Our forcast for this week at the end of the valley is around 100 for the next few days dropping into the high 90's mid week. Translation: Your week should be devine at the Hotel Del beach. Have a wonderful time.

Thats a nice big space for a workshop. I don't actually have one. I use the balcony for the little things. I can't do the big thing until we are actually done with some of the major renovation projects and can buy/build a shed in the yard. :(
I don't know about anyone else, but that workspace looks heavenly to me... and all those great projects!!!
But enjoy the break with the fam. Sounds like it will be awesome!
Oh, you are brave. It's just been so miserable out there that I can't imagine having to work outside! Have a lovely time on your little vacation!
Great workspace. I need to do a major reorganization of my paints. I might steal your toy bin organizer idea!
I just have to show my husband this blog about your back patio covered in projects. Maybe then he will realize I'm not the only one!!!! I love the techniques I've seen on your blog so far today. Great work! Inspiring me to go hunting for more old stuff!!!!
