Happy Monday, ladies! Every year or so, I like to give you a tour of my home. Gives me a chance to show you where I'm spending my time and, of course, what it looks like. Today, I'm inviting you to tour my home Studio. This is where I shoot most of my YouTube videos, Fridays with Oscar or a campaign or two. Adjacent to the studio is my family room, that's a great spot to host the fam for TV or movie night. Overstuffed leather furniture is the cornerstone of the room and is so darn comfy to curl up with a warm blanket all fall into winter and binge my favorite shows. Can't wait for season 5 of Yellowstone!
I've done my best to link most of my furniture and decorations. So if you are interested in anything, check there first. If I forgot something, just ask in the comment sections, and I'll do my best to point you in the right direction.
And no post would be complete without an OOTD. I've got a little bit of a prep in my step to kick off Monday. So sit back, relax, and let me show you my basement studio and adjoining family room.
Come Take a Tour of My Home Studio
I've got an OOTD for you today and a view from my basement studio

Yesterday, I completed our two-part series on fall ocats. Click the title or image below to read the article.

Wondering about the H blanket. Hermès?
Correct.
I’ve never been able to decipher the meaning of OOTD – ?? Also, do you hear any mention of when pants will again be made to hang smooth and straight without gathering at the seams, bunching along the leg and pulling across the crouch? I always want to have a pulled-together look and it’s a challenge when pants appear to be the wrong size for my slender body.
Trousers would be your best bet for a smooth hang. Denim and corduroy aren’t meant to hang smoothly but rather hug your frame, as they typically have a bit of stretch in the fabric. OOTD stands for outfit of the day.
Hope this helps!
Is your studio in your basement?
Yes, I have a walkout basement so I get a bit of daylight down there. That’s where the YouTube Studio is located and a guest room and guest bath for visitors.
Do you have a microwave or other way of cooking in your studio kitchen ? Thanks
No. I used to have a microwave on the counter, but it was seldom used. But there’s space on the counter if needed.
Hi Beth, your studio looks great 👍 You did such a great job decorating.
This is just a thought if you picked a grey that would go with your flooring and spray paint your ceiling. You would hardly know it would all blend. You would spray everything including vents and duct work.
We did this at our house and it worked out really well.
Have a great week !
Thanks for the suggestion! I worked with an interior designer who coordinated all the paint colors, including the spray-painted black ceiling that gives an industrial feel to the room. The wall color was chosen with YouTube lighting in mind, but I’m so happy with how the space turned out. It’s functional as a studio but still warm and inviting for guests.
Am a subscriber. Enjoy reading yr posts. Was an art magazine fact checker/editor. My eye is trained to notice typos: The sweater in today’s post links to Veronica Beard, s b iTalbots & coats is misspelled. Do you want another pair of eyes reviewing, LMK.
It’s true. We’re human here at SaaCA and, therefore, fallible. Thanks for letting us know.
I stumbled on to your site and I’m hooked. First of all, I am also a GSD fan; I’ve had 2. Currently, I have a little black smooth coat retriever… I find that black (fur) goes with everything! I love your sophisticated and hip style! I started wearing Doc Martin boots with jeans after a back injury, now I wear them with everything including dresses. So my questions are: what do you think of docs? And, are corduroy pants on trend? Not that I care (well, maybe a little) I love them. Thanks for your inspiration!
Corduroys are a timeless staple that never goes out of style. Lucky you to have a black-haired dog. Oscar’s blond coat pops up on everything!
I have pretty much the same slope chair in my living room, but mine are a forest green. More comfortable than they look, and I love the style. The open-ness of the legs keeps everything looking clean and uncluttered as it allows the slight-lines to go past the chair.
Also, loving the colour of your cords today.
I love these slope chairs! They can easily move into the family room when extra seating is needed. And they make a statement all on their own.
