I know I promised to document how an ugly basement is to become a fantastic studio, and I've been so busy packing and hauling boxes that I forget to take many pictures, but here's a little photo-essay of what I have photographed so far...
 |
| This lovely mess of plumbing has since been all closed in and painted white. But I still harbor a secret plan to encrust it with "jewels" and other random found objects that I have already collected, and continuing to add miscellaneous stuff that I seem to pick up wherever I go. It will be my "Memory Sewer Pipe." |

| Close up of the lovely plywood shelving the previous owners kindly left for us. I'm pretty sure they bought all their paint from the clearance/mistake shelf. the yellow looks almost pretty in this shot, but believe me, reality was more like the above. |

| The transformation begins. Yes, it IS always him doing the work and me photographing. |
 |
| Here is a blurry picture of the rug, retrieved from storage, and laid out temporarily. |

Everything that wasn't moving or brick was painted white. The shelves are nicely set up by dh for ME to paint. The white floor is not quite what I was hoping for. I envisioned a shiny gloss like you see in a muffler shop or something.
I do not know why Blogger won't let me insert photos at the END of my post, but it insists I want them at the top. or at least somewhere other than the bottom. Rather than fight I guess I'll start a second post to show my current studio/dining room for comparison.
