takin' shape

I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything or shared an update on my studio, so below are some pictures of the progress!!  I think it'll probably be another 8 weeks.  We still have heat, flooring, built ins, bath fixtures, and a few other finishing details to go, but walls are up and lights are in - just look at all the lights!! They are LED and when our electrician had them all on he took out his meter and found we were using the equivalent of two 100 watt bulbs!  (Not all bulbs are in yet, but wow!)

insulation spray foam

light fixtures still in boxes,
waiting for installation!

I am feeling better and better with each passing day.  Still have to watch my energy, as I forget I'm still recovering from this past year's adventure - and my hands are still not up to art making condition, but give them the time it takes to finish a studio?!? then we'll be talking!  Until then...

Wallboard delivery!!  The only way to get it up to the 3rd story was to feed it through one of the studio windows, because our stairwells are too narrow, and corners too sharp a turn.  All furniture will have to be built up there, and left!!

Our electrician Eustice and his assistant are putting in the last light!!

Before wallboard or lights

Curt & Robert (he's peeking through the A/C closet wall, to the left)
are installing the wallboard.  Only half of the lights are exposed here -
they'll be cutting out holes to expose the rest!


I think it's too confusing at this point to explain what each space is, but I'll try a little.  Eventually I'll take you on a video tour, and it will all make sense.

This is the main center space, facing the doorway to the "messy" room where sanding, dusty, paper making, felting, wax, etc can happen - there's ventilation and a big slop sink.  Standing here, your back is to the view in the photos above, of Robert and Curt, and the windows.

back there opens up to the library/sitting area and off to the right is the bathroom.

I am very happy moving into this new year, which is filled with potential.  I am grateful to have you all here with me on this amazing journey and I look forward to sharing a great deal more of it with you! I have big dreams for this space and you are part of them.  Blessings of great joy, wonder, creative explorations and well being to you all!

Happy New Year!
