Studio Room, Before and After – The Before

This is my decision I have made this week. I was writing about my new studio room that I just got, and I would like to share the process with you, from the phase it was still a skeleton, until it is all done and open for business.
In the past 2 weeks I have been transferring (or starter transferring, to be more accurate) some of my stuff, from my house to the studio room (thank God it's close to my house, and thank God I have a bicycle to transfer some of my stuff easier and faster), along with my dog, who immediately started sniffing around and getting to know the surrounding, including the neighbors' houses. I've been spending about half an hour, more or less, almost everyday (everyday that it's not raining), placing things, ordering things. So before I started all that, I took my cute little camera with me, and took some photos of the place. And I came up with the idea to take pictures of the process for you. I will take pictures every few days and upload them here to show them to you. You could comment and make suggestions and give me some ideas which I'd love to receive from anyone!

So here are a few photos of the place, before I started filling it with stuff.
Side comment: it came out really small in the pictures, while it's not THAT small, it's an okay kind of size. Also, the point of view doesn't really let you see the real size of it. Trust me, its size is worthy.

This is the main room, as seen from the entrance:

From the left there is the kitchenette, and from the right there is the entrance to both the second room and the bathroom. In the farther part of the room there will probably be the ironing board and the sewing table + machines. In the middle of the room I will be placing the main table where I'll do my cutting and measuring and all that stuff.
They've already painted it in cream, but I'm not really fond of it.
There are SO many wall plugs in that place, it's crazy!
I'm thinking about a nice, soft curtains for that window.

And this is the kitchenette. It needs a little cleaning, and excuse me for the mess, it's my mess. It's the stuff I brought to put there, and I just placed it all over there:

That wooden pillar is a little stuck in the middle of the world there, but I'll find it a good use, like hanged bags or photos.

Side comment: I've always wanted a wooden floor, but hey, what can you do (without money, huh?)

Another view, into the second room, from the main room point of view:

Notice the open wall at the top, really liking it:

I'm thinking putting a few shelves on this wall (which is 2.50 cm long, I measured! It's not as small as you might think it is!), and placing a few bags on them, like a showcase. Depends on the budget, though.
I will be hanging sketches and pictures of my bags on the walls.

Walking into the second room, and find a big closet, which will be used for, mostly, fabrics:

Not really reaching to the higher cabinets, short little me.
Please ignore the belt that's hanging on the door's knob, it belonged to the guy who used to live there before, and I already tossed it.
Fortunately, there is a long mirror in the closet's door, because I really wanted one since many women who come to buy bags from me want to see themselves in the mirror wearing the bags. So a big plus there!

Almost a full view of the second room. It doesn't show the entire size of it from that view, you'll just have to use your imagination for that (or come see it yourself!):

There will also be a place for my dog in this room, and a television. But other than that, it will be mostly a storage room. Plus, one of the walls will be used as a spot for bag photo takings.

And this is another view, from the bathroom

And the bathroom itself:

Needs some fixing, but most things in it are new, and it's very big, at least bigger than the bathroom I have at my house. It's just a bathroom though, so it has nothing have to do with the new studio designing. Also, the mirror above the sink is a little too high for me. Also needs to be fixed. That mess isn't mine either!

As a final note, it looks a little "blah" right now, but not only that in real life it looks so much better, but also I will try making it a dream come true for me. Some paint, color, furniture, decorations, showcases, and more…. It will look good in the end, and I hope you will keep following and experiencing it with me!
