psssst…. guess what.
the studio is official DONE.
like, finished! hatched! baked! born! complete!
After over a YEAR of planning, construction, shopping, and hard work from my family, my husband, myself, and patient neighbors, the studio is finished. Doing about 80% of the work ourselves. We feel lots of pride towards our addition. Great for parties; great for lounging; great for doing virtually anything.
**small disclaimer, not COMPLETELY finished… we still need the A/C hooked up and the doorbell installed. But visually, done.
I’ve been shooting in her since April, but never been completely satisfied. Hey! I’m a woman. It’s my prerogative.
I’d still like to install hard woods… to be honest, the concrete seems cold to me but the budget says we gots ta wait. and I’d still love to hang some ridiculously expensive wallpaper ($250 for a small wall… hello. a little pie-in-the-sky for banker Ryan to absorb) but someday I shall have it. : ) But today as I type this, the windows are open and the air smells sweet. Then sun is shining and Ryan is brining lunch home. It’s a great day and I’m feeling very legit.
