With the cold winters in Pennsylvania, it is important for Leanne to have a space inside for her and her family to create and relax. A space for ideas to become reality. The dark and dingy basement once filled with pipes, wires, and debris now works as what she calls her Sub-Studio, a bright, creative space with an art studio, a ceramic studio, and plenty of space for the family to lounge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/em>It is exactly how I wanted everything to feel, a fresh start.\u201d \u2013 Leanne Ford<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it came to picking the paint color, she knew it had to be white. But not just any white. A hue to fit the style of the historic home, but also crisp enough to brighten the space. She picked a white that matched her vision. Blank Canvas<\/strong><\/a>, a hopeful and welcoming white with limitless possibilities to transform any vision into a reality\u2026 this was the obvious choice for her basement walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cit\u2019s warm and welcoming but still clean and fresh with a hint of vintage,\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Leanne Ford<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basements tend to hold moisture which causes mold and mildew. Starting with the right primer, choosing durable, stain-repellent, and moisture-resistant paint products is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The art studio is filled with all of Leanne\u2019s art supplies. This is her space to play and disconnect from her job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leanne\u2019s ceramic studio is where she lets her creativity inspire. She likes to dive in with zero plans and see what comes out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s creatively beyond inspiring for me to play in here.\u201d \u2013 Leanne Ford<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The comfy couch and pile of pillows are used to create a relaxing lounge area for Leanne and her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leanne made sure to make every space special. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She used the extra Blank Canvas from the walls to paint furniture, old doors, picture frames, and canvases as part of the renovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The old doors from her main home were pulled, painted, and recycled as a wall in the new space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the picture frames and canvases, Leanne poured the extra paint into a baby pool and dipped the frames, fully covering them. Check out the link to see how she went about this: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cu9kSG1OzB_\/?img_index=1<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A special touch was added with expressions written on the walls and minimalistic designs hand-drawn on the furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
