I took a couple of “before” pictures of my future studio space the other day. It is the second story of the garage and has its own outside entrance down the side of the building in the back. The footprint of the building is 30′ x 30′ but obviously there will be some unusable space under the eaves (but even that will be usable for storage, for the most part). We think they meant it to be a guest apartment, as the plumbing is roughed in for a bathroom and a kitchenette. The space is very well insulated and there is a propane fireplace which just needs to be hooked back up.
In a couple of weeks our drywall guy will be available to finish it off, and we’ll be able to paint the walls and ceiling. We’ll probably just paint the floor for now, as we haven’t thought through what we will want up there, and can’t spend the extra money now anyway. Then we can start moving in my looms and knitting, spinning and weaving materials. We will also set up a design/drafting area for Rick. Eventually we will finish the bathroom and put in a sink area and counters for dyeing. It’s going to be great!

What a great space! Is there enough light or will you add some skylights later?
There is pretty good natural light from the end windows, and we will be sure to provide plenty of electric lighting. The roof is already on with 12″ of insulation and I doubt we will want (or be able to afford) to penetrate that with skylights later. Anyway, it will look a lot brighter with finished walls and ceiling. But, thanks for asking!
