Excited
I am so excited, really. Just like every child in the land these days, but for a different reason. I want K to come home early from work so I can show off what I have done. What have I done? Well I’ll tell you.
Some of you have been following the progress of the studio as it marched from the dirt in August to a secure snug building in November. Well, I’ve been steadily puttering away at the inside for weeks now, as the cash flow allowed. The electrician has been here, I hung the dry wall myself, managed an Ok job on the plaster and last weekend I painted it. K chose the colors (three walls in light purple and one in deep purple, the ceiling left in white)
Yesterday I managed to get the floor tiled. I did a pretty darn good job, if I do say so myself. So, today, the big day. Today I installed the base boards, the crown trim, and the door casings. I then carried all the heavy stuff from under the house so she wouldn’t have to go into the hobbit hole. (she keeps banging her noggin) All she has to do now is start setting it up.
Ok, so this is just a picture of the outside, but as soon as K has it all set up and we have the Christmas lights on it, there will be more pictures. I may even do a post of pictures that chronicles the whole process from start to finish. As for now… I’m so excited, I can’t wait for her to get home from work. Ahhhh!

Goodness Prudence, you have been busy! What a nice idea for a studio. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHi Christy. Yes, this one started out to be a garden shed, but since the cottage is too small to have a hobby room in it, and I have always made one for her, the shed morphed into a hobby studio.
ReplyDeletecan you come build me one?! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Jamie, I'll take that as high praise. :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! I love those little cottage like studio/work rooms/garden sheds! I'm inspired just looking at it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Coleen. We're pretty pleased with it.
ReplyDeleteWow! That look SO good! I can't believe you made that from scratch! I'm so excited for you to finish up so you can show the rest off!
ReplyDeleteGood job, Pru ... but I'm concerned about the foundation ... those winds off Conception Bay can be pretty strong.
ReplyDeleteHi Alyssa, yep, we are multi talented girls. I think I will post a full series of pics once K has it set up the way she wants it.
ReplyDeleteHey Chris, already thought of that. We are in a protected area so we don't get those big winds, but we anchored it down and closed in the foundation anyway. It will take a pretty big wind to blow us away. :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome studio!!
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks very cozy! You're so multi-talented. Can't wait to see the inside decorated.
ReplyDeleteNow it's party time!!! Break out the fizzy lifting drinks and the snozberries!
ReplyDeleteYou've been a busy girl Prudence!
ReplyDeleteDrywall hanging and plastering? Whoa.
It's looking good! Can't wait to see the inside!
Awe thanks folks, I will post more pics soon.
ReplyDeleteLove the studio and can't wait to see the start-to-finish pictures. Do you ever rest, Prudence?
ReplyDeleteJealous!!!
ReplyDeleteRest? Sure, every day. Actually this studio has been a labor of love for me. In every home we've had I have managed to make a hobby space for K. Usually that just means decorating etc. This time I had to start from scratch.
