Studio Shelving
Today we’re renaming this blog “Making This Shelf”. It’s the least we can do in tribute to a project that’s happening in Gadanke‘s studio right now amongst all the journal making.
Back in September, Martin and I were operating on another one of those midnight measuring sprees (like this one when we needed lights in the house). We got this greatly needed idea of adding shelves to the studio/office. We drew a little sketch and made perfect measurements. We hung strips of painters tape across the walls so we could envision the shelving yet to come.
Remember the last time I showed you the studio?
Well the shelving arrived about a week later. But we’d already moved on to other projects… like moving out of the tire house and into this airplane hangar. (Yah!)
Imagine some Disney pixy dust and musical fanfare with a harp as this tale unfolds.
Here’s my prince.
And here’s my dream coming true.
What the heck. Insert more harp music! We’ll keep you posted as we progress.
What are your weekend plans? Any honey do projects or holiday decorating?
I love it when things get finished…And organizing…Ooo, love it, and love it more when someone else does it!
I am looking forward to finishing my decorating and spending time with my family embracing the experiences of the season.
my weekend aspirations are far less worthy of fanfare; my daughter ripped one of the earpieces off my glasses and i need to replace them, so we’ll be doing some eye-glass shopping in my old pair that barely stays on my face. oh the joys of raising a toddler!
My weekend project is taking an old hutch I purchased at an estate sale and cannabalizing it. The bottom will be stripped down to raw wood again, restained, and new knobs. It will become the new dresser for our bedroom that we have needed for a long time. The glass, windowpane doors on top will be reworked to become new doors on the new upper cabinets in the kitchen. My Prince is making the custom oak trim for the new front door that we got installed FINALLY during the summer. There is always a project going on around here.
Sounds like it’ll be a beautiful piece when you’re finished, Charlee! Wow.
I hope so. The price was right. I will know at the end of the project if the sweat equity was worth it. LOL.
Looks amazing with the shelves. What kind of a shelving system are you using?
We’re trying out elfa from The Container Store. So far so good!
