I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We did!! We spent it with wonderful friends and stuffed ourselves!! What a spread of food! As you can see little Joey was in his place and ready to eat first!
I know your anxious to see the next group of pics of the New Art Studio, so here they are:
We started getting 2 coats of primer and the top coat of paint on all the walls and ceilings. My Grandson, Matthew, who is 20 years old, came over and helped me paint a couple of times last weekend. We got a lot accomplished. And we also got all the leftover construction materials moved out of the new studio, out of my way, as you can see it is making painting easier.
We got lots of primer and paint put on the walls and ceilings on the south side (above) and, (below) you can see how much we got accomplished. Painting together with my grandson was fun, we had a great time. He is quite a talented, award winning artist and he is anxious to come play in my New Art Studio with me.
We brought my glass storage cabinet down from the old art studio upstairs in the house out to the New Art Studio, and brought another set of wire shelves from storage. Now I have to put the shelves back in the cabinet and assemble the wire shelves, then I can bring all my stained glass out and put back in it the cabinet. 
We brought my old Paragon Kiln down from upstairs in the old art studio in the house out to the New Art Studio. I bought it in the 1980s for $50, back then it would have cost $400 or $500 new, now days it would be about $2000 new. It has seen lots of firings of glass and pottery over the years. It is Old Faithful for sure, and it just keeps on ticking. We acquired the assistance of several strong young men to help carry the heavy stuff down and out!! 
I put the freshly painted cabinet doors and the door pulls back on the south side cabinets.
I started painting the floor in that south side back section. Now my hubby can build my second counter top. This south side will be the hot side where my 4 kilns will live. 
Yes, we made major accomplishments last weekend and this past week. Now off to paint some more walls and floors. Hope the rest of your Thanksgiving break goes wonderful.
