Tomorrow is going to be a very exciting day! Why you ask? Because I get the keys to my very first studio space! It’s a diamond in the rough, but it’s mine and it will be perfect! Seeing that I am a photographer, I thought it would make sense to photograph the renovation journey turning a big rectangle in the basement in an old building into my super slick new studio space! Since I don’t yet have the keys, I don’t have a photo to show of the “before”, I will nab a few shots tomorrow and then we get to watch it transform!

Here’s the floor plan that I’ve been playing with:

One side will be a fully equipped studio with lights, backdrops, seamless paper, etc (and will be available to rent on an hourly and daily basis, e-mail me if you are interested in renting) and the other side, separated by a beam and curtains will be my workspace and the conference area for meetings, etc.

The whole space will be painted out white, including the concrete floors. The furniture will be mainly white and chrome with a few black pieces as well. The most exciting part will be the back wall that will be painted green (and hidden from the studio so to not give a colour cast). The awesome green wall colour is “green crush” from Behr.

Also excited about the green shag area rugs too! Well, that’s my vision at least, we’ll see if the end product turns out as I plan, or if I will change my mind a million times along the way!

Hope you join me on my journey and give me your thoughts on the projects progression! Can’t wait for tomorrow!

Oh, and don’t worry, once it’s all done, watch for the open house!
