pictures, finally

ok here we go. these start when we first got the keys and are through yesterday's painting.

views through the front window out to the street. every so often the neighbor across the way in the red plywood hut will open the doors, point a large fan outside, and then run his table saw, resulting in clouds of sawdust all over the place.

view toward the back. this is before we washed the walls and painted over all the scuff marks. notice the complicated 3-curtain system that is going away. too confusing.

wenge cabinets are here. i hope they last a while! they really do have a peculiar reddish-purple tinge, which is why the new paint color goes so well.

new paint color, lavender blue by benjamin moore. derek has to come paint the top of everything since i don't own a ladder. yet.

tape bits to indicate where hooks and shelves should go. yes i am obsessive, especially when waiting around for 5 hours for shelving delivery. sigh. at least i got to scrape paint off of light switch toggles, and important things like that.


that's it so far. today i have to make jewelry. though i might go assemble the shelving tonight. i have not ordered floating shelves but i have to soon. products are starting to stack up at home so it's almost time to get the van from downstairs and move everything over...
