I needed to soundproof my massage therapy studio so I contacted a company in Erie, PA to purchase their wall foam. But the sales person gave me a money saving tip that I've used for 20 years. He said to look at the opening around your door when it's closed; if you see light, then sound can come in also. Place weatherstripping and a door sweep and you're good to go. Really deadens the sound.

Thanks for the heads up! I was looking for a solution that was cheap and thought about hanging moving blankets, but those can be pricey too
This is one of the best art studios I've seen, thank you for sharing the process with us
GLENN IN LOUISIANA, AGAIN CHUCK: I literally cried when I saw this wonderful video of you long deserved studio. Weird seeing you rip out the things i watched you install over the years. From day one, you have been my teacher. I went from learning what a Princeton Dagger could do, to how to use Golden Open, to painting complex landscapes, all with two teachers: My mom when I was a kid, and you since I was 65. I’m 77 now, my last painting sold for 3K. I don’t make that regularly but it happened. I love painting and acrylics is what I staid with due to air quality in my stuffy studio. You have motivated me to renovate but I have to go slow, getting old. IT IS TRUE THAT YOU ALONE MOVED ME FROM AN INVALID UNABLE TO DO MUCH INTO A FULL FUNCTIONING PAINTER. I will have a website in this year and will show you. I praise you for such dedicated work, such craftsmanship and skill in building. I love the easel, the palette desk, and the long table. I see you working solitarily as always, my monk friend, my mentor, my friend, if I may call you a friend! God bless you! I have much more to say but enough for now. YOU ARE THE BEST ARTIST ON THE INTERNET IN TERMS OF MORALE AND MORAL INTEGRITY, INDEPENDENCE, AND BEING TRUE TO YOURSELF. For music, try this great self-styled entrepreneur in Europe, Reinhardt Buhr. Put some of his YouTUBE MUISC ON AND FLOAT AS YOU WORK. MAN O MAN AM I PROUD OF YOU!!!!! YOU PRINTS HAND ON MY WALLS. - GLENN 0:01

Beautifully said, we have so much to offer this world in our later years!!! Would love to see your work!
Hello Chuck. You went to great lengths to make your room cater to your needs and you did an amazing job. Clean, tidy, and structured. I hope it helps you to enjoy it more. I transformed my 2nd bedroom into a bedroom/study. I still have some shelving to put on the walls. So I know how important it is to feel content and inspired. It's amazing how changing your environment changes you. Great job. ❤

“Clean, tidy and structured.” That’s what I need in my life.
Congratulations on your new studio !!! Thank you Chuck for showing us your work, take care and have a great day
Fantastic job on the remodel! Congrats on the new workspace. Hope it serves you well for years to come.
I’m loving how everything is coming together and how you’re able to work on many things at a time!!!
Wow! What a transformation! Good job, Chuck, and well-deserved.
What a fantastic setting to spend time in! The paint colour, wood accents, and lighting all look so good together. Enjoy!
FANTASTIC! As a fellow painter, I know how you feel. This was a very meaningful move. All the best!
I love your new studio. Everything has its perfect place. I can only imagine all the beautiful masterpieces the world can enjoy that will come out of your new studio. Thank you for sharing with us.
Hi. Your studio looks amazing. The design and layout is just perfect. I hope you enjoy your revamped space.
Much better. Looks calming as well. the colours, light and layout.
The podium as a palette is genius! Portable & adjustable, plus there’s room to store brushes and paint. Definitely going on my art wishlist. Thanks for sharing!
Well thought out. Beautiful, functional, and elegant ambiance. Enjoy!👍
Wow, Chuck,that is an incredible transformation, and not bad for total end cost. I have a plain and simple studio. I've been watching your vids for a long time now and i must say I really like what you've done 👍
This is one of the best art studios I've seen, thank you for sharing the process with us ❤
The difference is day and night from what it was in the beginning. 1.8 k is not a lot considering what you have achieved. Well done and well deserved. Stay blessed and keep producing awesome art.

So glad you made your studio the way you wanted it because you deserved it. Happy painting.😊
You have very beautifully transformed the space,it really reflects you. Space like this make you never leave it or you never know when time flies ,it really makes your thoughts and imagination come to life on the canvas .I really enjoyed watching this video .❤❤
This has been the BEST studio remodel video presentation. Looks great.
Your reimagined space is an inspiring work of art by itself 🤩
You did a great job Chuck!! I’m constantly moving my tiny space around to paint and for all my tools & paint. It’s my small apartment “dining” room which I keep expanding into my living room. I love how uncluttered your space is! 😉
Thanks for sharing that makeover. I am in a creative/ motivational funk and this has inspired me to reorganize my painting area, clean it up and get back on track!
Loved how it looks, went from beginner artist to professional artist. Fantastic job. A lot of work went into this art studio and it is just amazing.
Nice buddy, this is a very deserved change. Your art has a way of inspiring me more than anyone else. Keep it going and stay refreshed.

I'm humbled. Thank you so much
Chuck, I love what you did with your room. I’ve been thinking about redoing my art space and you’ve given me a lot of really great ideas. I especially liked your fix for the glare on your paintings from the lighting. I also really liked how you made yourself your own box for your paintings to dry. I have a hard time with that. Thank you for all the great ideas and showing me that it’s actually financially feasible for me to be able to do that.❤
Absolutely nailed it there, Chuck. What an excellent workspace and you didn't have to break the bank.
You are my hero and so fortunate to have such a lovely space. I hope you are enjoying it.
The ASMR was so soothing to watch!!! Loved the color green ❤!!
Way to go Chuck. Your followers can gain many good ideas from your new studio space!
This is a gorgeous effort of an artist. Epic space created in process. Minimalist inspiring in artist space.❤❤❤❤❤
Very well done and great job. New era of art in your life and we will love to see. Good Luck
It's now a beautiful place to work! Great job with all the extra workspace!
Your studio is as beautiful as your art work. Thank you for sharing this. It's the inspiration I needed right now. Cheers, mate.
Outstanding! It’s beautiful and well deserved! Enjoy it 😊
Beautifully done, the color combo is excellent.
Glad to see you come this far in your journey, wish you the best and many many more years of paintings to enjoy.
Good job! It’s so nice to have a studio space that lifts our spirits when we go into it. And to reflect how we feel as a person. Love it that you’ve done this Chuck and I love that olive green wall colour. Spot on!

You just breathe life into your paintings. You are an incredible artist.
Wow! Beautiful studio, man. You've given me ideas on increasing the size of my studio space. Thanks for sharing.
It will be amazing for you Chuck. Well deserved. My husband bought me office desk furniture for my studio don’t have the guts to tell him it’s not that functional 😬. Hope you enjoy your studio for years to come.
This was really satisfying to watch! I love the transformation.
Phenomenal. Love it. So functional and organized with a cool vibe
Great video man. Super relaxing to watch! Love the final result.

Nicely done! Beautiful.
Well done! It's beautiful, dramatic and functional. I too have an entire room dedicated to my art studio, but no skills to re-build it on my own. But I'm not unhappy with what I have. I just need to work a bit more on cleaning out stuff I don't use anymore (I'm a crafter as well). Your new studio has inspired me to work in mine today!! What I need is a spot for photography - a light box, etc.
incredible makeover for a really reasonable cost! Thanks for sharing!!
Congrats on the beautiful new space. Well done! Well deserved.
Looks amazing! I also added track lights to my space, but the shadows the lights cast drive me bonkers so I still use my easel light. I’m going to have to get the fabric to cover my lights, that might help me. Thanks for posting this!
Wow, the studio turned out amazing!! I am a firm believer in how much a very organized space can improve one’s work, and I am sure you will enjoy the new place very much!

I identified with the starting scene. Looks perfect now. I love the adjustable podium.
Well done!!! The "new' studio looks great, dude! I'm jealous.
Beautiful art studio. I'm thinking of getting a shed and making an outdoor studio for myself. You've given me ideas, thanks!
Absolutely stunning space to get those creative juices flowing!!
It's beautiful! Definitely well deserved!!
Very beautiful....I love your work.....I am just starting oil painting.....I enjoy watching how you do it.....and your outcomes are amazing
Very nice. I love the long table.
That is so nice! :) No one should feel ashamed to spend a good amount of money of making their room nicer, especially if the room is also your workspace. It is so understated how important it is to create an environment that supports who you are as a person and how you like to work or relax. It will inhibit your own creativeness and help you ward off stress factors and unwanted input. I strong urge everyone who spends a lot of time in a small space, to just make it nice and comfortable for you.
