New studio build!
For the past three years, I've had my studio in my house. Convenient though it is, there are some definite advantages to having a "space" that is somewhere outside of your immediate home. A place where the lines between business and home life can be a little more clearly defined, at least in terms of environment (because after all, my business is part of my pleasure). In less than two weeks, our family will be moving to a home that will offer that kind of separation and I'm pretty excited about it. We recently purchased a beautiful farmhouse built in 1899 that we are in the process of lovingly restoring. One of the nice things about that era of construction was the pride that was put into the woodwork and trim, from trees that may have been harvested right from the property. I've also spent the last few weekends building a studio in the accompanying guest house, which is just behind the main house. It'll provide a great space in which to do what I do, isolated from outside noise and well treated for acoustics. Like anything in life, doing it right takes a lot of time and energy. But I'm hoping to get everything finished up this weekend, before moving the following weekend, just in time for Thanksgiving. There will certainly be a lot to give thanks for that week. Here's a peek into what's been happening:
