The Studio Loft

 

The studio is a constant work in progress.  We have been working on it for probably 9 years now.  We started with an empty steel framed metal barn, put in a second floor loft and completely revamped the inside.  Someday I'll do a more complete post on that, but in the meantime this is our most current improvement.  We had a smaller none opening window in the loft that we just had changed into a larger opening window and then added shutters.  The loft if just used for studio storage for supplies, but it sure would get hot.  Hopefully, this will keep temperatures more comfortable.

Now that the window project is done, I can go back to the seemingly never ending task of organizing the loft.  I am about 1/3 of the way done, but there is still a long way to go.  I'll post photos when (and if) I ever get it done.

In the meantime ....

Still, in what seems to be an endless process of getting our house ready to sell, on the market and buying a home, I have managed to complete a few journal pages with very limited supplies, in the past few weeks.

I knew this would be a very difficult process and realize this is why we have put this whole idea of moving off for so long.

However ... slowly ... everything is finally starting to fall into place, but it still looks like it could be up to another 2 months before we get to settle into our new home.

We have had a few let downs, which at the time made it seem like we would never find what we were looking for. Making things more difficult was the fact that my husband and I were at opposite ends of the spectrum as to what we wanted in a house.  Finding a house we could both agree on was a challenge, but we did it. The new place is more than we both could have hoped for ... so all this searching and now waiting, will be worth it.

In the meantime, we press on, but I have to admit, I am having a hard time on focusing on just about anything.

I will begin working on starting up a Facebook page to document and share the progress of my new studio. I hope you will join and share in this new adventure!
