Remodeling the studio- after~

took me the rest of last week, working long hours at my day job and then reorganizing, painting, moving and hanging but it is finished!

Amazing how much room we have now. I only had to buy one more Ikea billy bookcase. Owned the rest of the furniture and had some tables in storage. Had to add more lighting, since we only had recessed lights, which aren't enough for art!  We will have seating for 10 easily now, with traffic space to move around to get supplies.

This is the new section. I removed the wall that created a bedroom and was so lucky. The previous owner of my home had finished the entire basement and then added the wall for the bedroom. So it was so easy to remove. 

I decided that the hallway was the perfect place to create a store- so removed our personal pictures and have all the art and craft items we sell at AHC in the hallway and in a shelving unit. That is opposite the wall of stamps students can use.

Remodeling the studio!

Very busy this week. I had the opportunity to hire a helper to remove the wall separating my studio from  the guest bedroom, so I took it.

When I moved in almost 3 years ago I was really happy that the basement was finished, it had a great open area and a large bedroom, for  when my boys came home. Well, now that 2 are married, they aren't coming home as much and we are bursting at the seams in the studio, so I removed the wall/door and opened up the entire studio!  Yea, it is going to be great. Can have about 5-6 more students now for classes.

Here are some pictures of the before, during and  stay tuned for the entire project reveal when I am done rearranging!

Here is a picture of the area with the wall/door.

Here is is with the wall/door down. A big mess, but it will be wonderful and spacious soon.
