This is what the shop looked like when we signed the lease. This particular view is my studio area on the left and the section of shop in front of my studio.
The very next day a lick of white emulsion was painted on all the walls, except where the pegboard was going. Here you can see the frame being attached to the wall. This was thirsty work...
The whole wall along the side of my studio and in the left portion of the shop is fitted with pegboard and painted a pale 1950s pink. The window frame is painted glossy black and the rail fittings are attached.
The most nerve wracking decision so far is to paint the arch and middle column a bright cherry red. WOW! I love it! Then the first coat of black floor paint goes down.
The electricians have been and now we have spot lighting for the shop and 2 pendant lights for our studio areas which we need to find super shades for. A section of wall is painted pale blue for Gemma's boy's tees. You can also see through to our little patio area behind the shop and the kitchenette has been painted cherry red to echo the arch.
Things are really moving on when my custom made work bench, shelving unit and wall shelves are in place and the wall above the stairs is painted a raspberry pudding pink and the stairs a glossy black.
Yesterday we took over some of the furniture and Gem started painting her mural on the back wall. Today Sam is printing up lipstick-lightning-bolt logo wallpaper and we'll be hanging it tomorrow. There is still so so so much to do and the opening is only 13 days away. I'll post details of the opening party next week, and let you know the name of our shop too!!!!
