Hey all! [Reposting due to missing audio!]
We know we’ve been really quiet since Christmas, but we are finally ready to share the results of our art studio renovation! We are so happy with how things turned out, it feels like we FINALLY have a proper headquarters to CREATE, filled with fun, happy, retro art vibes! We had no idea how many random side quests this basement would take us on, we had a lot of late nights (a lot!) and more than a few hiccups along the way. We replaced our broken wood stove with a new propane one (last winter was VERY cold down here), had new flooring and baseboards installed, hooked up new lighting and thermostats, installed a new door and new knobs/hardware, converted the old closet into the now, aptly named “Nerd Nook” to house our geeky treasures, filled a lot of holes in the walls and added a much needed fresh coat of paint from top to bottom. Just committing to our bold paint colour choice was hard!
Maureen now has a new space to store her art supplies for easy use, and we installed a new woodworking station for Greg, along with an updated print/recycle/ garbage station and an updated packing area for preparing our orders.
It was so much work and took far longer than we thought it would, but we are really thrilled to have this space to create our art. Now it’s time to get to work on all our projects that have been waiting for us! Thanks for watching!
