Studio Remodel {A Journey}

If you've been reading my blog, you know we've been working hard on getting our remodeling projects finished and everything looking great around the studio.  It has been a long journey, filled with wood paneling and dry wall, carpet and laminate flooring, painting, trim, new doors, new steps, and many more projects.  It has been a much bigger project than I ever anticipated.  Doing the work ourselves has been both a blessing and a set back at times.  I have to say though, as I sit here at my desk, I am so happy and thankful for all the long hours we have spent making the studio better.

Studio Doors!

Things have been busy around the studio and guess what's happening today!  At long last, the doors to the studio and the new steps are finally being installed.  I am so excited to finally see the finishing touches all come together.  It will be so great to have the interior door way looking like it should!!  Once everything is in place, I will share pictures of the finished project.  I can't wait!

Progress!!

If you've been following my blog, you know I've been working hard on several remodeling projects in the studio.  I'm SUPER happy to say that progress is being made.  The ceiling is painted, the walls have been painted, the upper trim has finally been hung, new curtains are up, and some much overdue reorganizing has been taking place.  It is so wonderful to see all the hard work turning into something wonderful.  I love the gallery wall I just put up.  It is a beautiful focal point in the consultation/office area of the studio.  I still have more to hang on the walls and the interior doorway needs some TLC. 

Remodeling the Studio {A Work In Progress}

So as many of my clients know, the studio has been a state of remodel for a while.  While it's been usable the whole time, it's seen a lot of change.  We have ripped out unsightly carpet and replaced with beautiful laminate flooring.  We've torn down some 80s wood paneling from the walls (yes, ladies and gents, apparently that stuff still exists), dry walled, and painted.  I swear it's the finishing touches that take forever.  Since the bulk of this remodel job is being done by myself and my husband (who kind of just got roped into it because of my irrational fear of power tools, anyone else out there cringe at the thought of using a skill saw??), it's taken longer than I'd ever thought it would.
