the studio: after

long overdue - this is how the studio looked at one point in time...

The front entrance – trying to disguise the brickwork and industrial setting with plants and screens made from old wooden pallets. Handmade felt open sign.

View from the front doors into the studio/shop. The large bank of windows on the right face the street.

One of the three windows that face the street - they are great for a window display. Bendind that curtain you can see at the back is the office area.

Disguising the brickwork - Drew made this planter from an old pallette.

 

Inside the shop area. The office area is to the left. Through the half open curtains on the left is the work room. And behind the mirrored door at the back of the shop is the kitchen and bathroom.

Looking into the shop from the windows. This is my "red" themed window display made with products and vintage props I've been collecting over the years.

One nook in the studio – metal and glass shelves were bought from my landlord's shop.

Another nook at the back of the shop. I painted the studio in three shades of grey – the darkest shade was used on the back wall of the shop.

Another nook – this time with the map prints. I've been buying old lamps to add more light to the shop.

Window display detail – I love the tricycle that I got at a local market. I've had a few offers to buy it but I'm not sure I want to sell.

Your studio looks great and beautiful because of the glass window. That window makes a perfect look for your things around. From outside others will clearly see it.

You have a great studio! Your sliding glass window is perfect for your vintage window display! Did you know that you can use distilled white vinegar for cleaning glass windows? Even though there are commercial cleaners in the market, I believe you can save a few bucks, and save Mother Nature by using this natural cleaner.
