~*Studio Update*~

Hello Dear Friends! Things are moving right along next door on the studio. I was going to wait to show you an update until the floors were finished... buy my knees needed a break this morning during clean up & prepping...

The floors will be painted tomorrow! YIPPEE! That means that after they cure for a few days... I can start moving stuff in!

Remember reading about my textured walls? Well, here they are all finished...

(I fashioned a simple wreath for the front door & my loving hubby strung a few lights on the porch... I'll get a snap of those later.)

(I didn't get a very good shot of the ceiling fans... but my loving hubby installed those this past weekend.)



In hindsight, I probably would have put the dark paint color on the walls first with the lighter over it, but I like them. At first, I was shocked & not sure... but they are growing on me. They really did finish up prim. Some close-ups...




I think it has been about 3 months of work... and over 4 years of dreaming & planning... but it is becoming a reality. I am so excited to be having my dream come true... and so very thankful too. My husband has put up with me & worked hard shedding lots of blood, sweat, and tears... I couldn't have done this without him.

Wishing you all warm smiles....

Betty

  8. Oh Betty, I love the walls! Have enjoyed your posts leading up to this point and can't wait to see your stuff moved in! You've got a great husband to work as hard as he did to fulfill something you have been wanting for some time. I think he deserves a big hug and a big piece of Pie :).

  10. I love the walls! What colors did you use? It's a nice beige; not too rosy, not too yellow.

    You have inspired me to turn our storage room into a studio; we (meaning my Dad) starts renovations after the holidays! I am hoping he can be finished and me moved in by my birthday in March...cross your fingers (and toes)!
