This is our studio before the work began.  It worked well and we loved being in it everyday...little did we know how great it coud be!

At the end of January 2007 we ended our 14 month rental agreement and PURCHASED our space!  We were proud owners of our prime Historic Downtown location!  "Historic" being the key word--we decided to turn our space into what it was always meant to be!  Of course, we had to start by packing up EVERYTHING!
(Reilly-Kate was a great helper!)

Making the old into new meant exposing the tin ceiling that was hidden above our ugly dropped ceilling, removing the carpet, peel & stick tiles (along with gallons of glue!), and paint from our beautiful maple (surprise!) floors, and exposing the historical brick near our front window.

Here comes the paint...now we could see the vision coming together!

The work took longer than we originally planned (what else is new?) but the results were worth the wait!  We feel like we have made this building what it was always meant to be and we are so excited to enjoy it everyday with our customers!
