And heres what out little studio now looks like...
Picture
The floor now looks stunning, amazing considering how crappy the boards where originally...shame you cant actually see much of it now all the furnitures back in! I think the little oak filing cabinet (rescued from the skip at work) looks brilliant next to the floor, as you can tell I'm chuffed to bits with it all.
Picture
As Rich was wheeling power tools all over the place I got him to redesign my desk a bit by putting my up a shelf for my Mac to go on, freeing up my drawing board...
Picture
I'm sort of crammed into a corner as this isn't the biggest room and there are two of us work side by side in it but we try to make the best use of space until we can get the pennies together to build the workshop/studio in the garden. Rich is happy at his vintage 1940 desk (which weighs a bloody ton, good job we've strengthened the floor joists)
Picture
Rich loves this desk, its the only bit of furniture that was nonnegotiable whenever we've moved house, if theres nowhere for the desk we don't move there, everything else can be changed but not this desk!

In honer of our sparkly new office I splashed out on a new (to us) curtain I found in a vintage shop up in Shropshire...
Picture
I noticed this curtain as soon as I went in the shop, the fabric is by Angie Lewin, one of my most favourite designers! I nearly passed out when I saw it and for a bargain price too. I have desperately wanted on of her prints for the studio for ages but never seem to have the money, so this was perfect a curtain and print all in one! As this had got me  into a spending mood I also treaded myself to some Annie Sloan paint so I can finally get our little corner dresser painted and pretty (FYI this paint apparently needs no undercoat OR sanding, ideal paint for impatient girlys then, I shall report my progess with it. Rich is sceptical to say the least, I think he feels that no sanding and priming is cheating!)
Picture
Now all I need it to do is stop raining for a few days so I can get the dresser outside!

I finally feel like some progress has been made this year...Bathroom is next on the list...god help us!
