Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, been quite busy building my new Art Studio.\u00a0 Getting so excited!!!\u00a0 It is getting near being finished!!!\u00a0 Cannot wait to actually start creating in it!!\u00a0 Here are some chronological pics of the past 3 months:<\/h3>\n

\"RIMG0219\"<\/h3>\n

\"RIMG0222\"<\/h3>\n

In May we began framing up the interior walls (above).\u00a0 Then came the insulation (below).<\/h3>\n

\"RIMG0989\"<\/h3>\n

\u00a0 \"RIMG0994\"My hubby found some great bargains, he trolls all the Swap shops and CraigsList when we need something.\u00a0 We scored a brand new exterior door in the frame with the locks for $100 (you can see the door in the pic below sitting in the background).\u00a0 I needed two windows, one for each of the two front walls, found them, brand new never installed $50 each, another great score (sorry no pics of the windows yet).<\/h3>\n

\"RIMG1087\"<\/h3>\n

By July we were putting up the interior wall boards.\u00a0 Joey and Bethany did the framing, the insulation, and the wall boards and ceiling in the back half of the two sections.\u00a0 It is an art studio, so not getting fancy.\u00a0 I thought about sheet rock, then I thought about all the tapeing, bedding, sanding, floating, and all the sheet rock dust, (been there, done that, with the house remodel) and I decided wall board would be much, much easier, and not as messy!!\u00a0 Install it, caulk the corners and seams, and paint it!!<\/h3>\n

\"RIMG1088\"<\/h3>\n

\"RIMG1089\"<\/h3>\n

After the wall boards went up, we brought my cabinets out of storage.\u00a0 My daughter-in-law’s brother, Randy, scored me these nice cabinets from a dentist office remodel, at the best price of all, they were free.\u00a0 I have had them in storage waiting for this studio build for about a year and a half now!\u00a0 By the way, hanging the ceiling boards was quite a bit of work, but we got them up.\u00a0 Had some great help from one of the youth from church, Thomas, and also from my grandson, Matthew and his girlfriend Em, and his best friend, Joseph.\u00a0 All of us hung the wall and ceiling boards in the front end of the studio.<\/h3>\n

\"RIMG1092\"<\/h3>\n

Here is what the two halves of the studio looked like in July.\u00a0 The left side will have a sink and counter top under the cabinets.\u00a0 The right side will be for my kilns.\u00a0 I will have a wet side, on the left, and a hot side, on the right.\u00a0 My glass band saw and glass grinder have diamond bits and are water cooled to keep the diamond bits cutting efficiently.\u00a0 Having them near the sink will be fantastic, and will make it so much easier to fill them when needed.<\/h3>\n

In the above pic, on the right side, you can also see my brand new glass fusing kiln.\u00a0 We brought it out of storage too.\u00a0 We scored that about a year and a half ago also.\u00a0 It has been patiently waiting in storage for it’s new home.\u00a0 $3000 kiln, brand new, never fired, stole it for $1000.\u00a0 The gentleman bought it for his wife and she got sick and never used it.\u00a0 We drove to Atlanta to pick it up, but it was so worth it.\u00a0 The small table top kilns will be on a counter top under the cabinets.<\/h3>\n

Below you can see by August I started painting the wall boards.\u00a0 Here is the first coat of paint going on the walls,\u00a0 and the ceiling.\u00a0 (You can see my new sink in this pic.)\u00a0 Had some great help painting from Thomas, and from my granddaughter, Sarah.<\/h3>\n

\"IMG_0393\"<\/h3>\n

More to come in the next post!!!\u00a0 Just wanted to share the studio progress with you so you would know what I have been up to, and why I haven’t posted much in a while.<\/h3>\n
