My studio is finished!!!!!!! After 5 1/2 weeks of hard work it is completed. It is looking amazing.
Just a reminder of what it looked like before we started
Post 7 - All ready to to bring furniture and art supplies in
Walk through the front area into my studio
The cupboard which magically turns into my office.
A great find on Trade Me. $27.00 plus a lick of paint.
The door way into the other garage painted white,
It has been a long process but one well worth the doing. All good things take time and a studio is no exception. I have been moving round the house all winter to accommodate my families needs so it is absolutely wonderful to have a permanent space to work in.
One thing I found very difficult was having to move my studio regularly, which cut into my work time, I also found it hard to cut myself off from the house noise and family happenings. The new studio is outside the house in the garage which is accessed through the laundry door, outside and down a few steps so it is cut off from the house. So when I go to work I can leave the house and all of its happenings.
