Back Again

I don't have any photos yet because I just finished moving all the computer stuff to the new work area and everything is such a mess that I can't get back far enough to get a decent shot!

We have a couple of desks and a table to move out that are currently in the way of everything!  I also have to move my huge work table and the paper cabinet that our friends gave me for Christmas. 

Still so much more to do but I'm just blessed that all the computer stuff is moved and set up and actually working!  lol  And, in this so-called wireless society, I've found that everything (that I have at least) still needs electricity so still have a lot of wires to deal with. 

So, I'll still be working on the studio for a while yet.  My DH still has to put the trim around the base of the cabinets and we still need some pulls or knobs of some kind. 

I'm thinking wrought iron as I saw some in the home improvement store that I really liked and they were very reasonable to boot.  I like the look and texture of wrought iron and I think those pulls would look good with the black countertop.  I've not seen any I like better so will probably go get those this weekend.

Things are slowly coming together!

Cabinet Photo

studio computer area

My husband started the cabinet installation yesterday and while we aren't finished by a long shot, I thought I'd share what's been done already.

The upper wall cabinets are already in place and although it may look as if the bottom cabinets and counter are installed, they are just sitting there not attached anywhere.  We were doing a practice run/dry fitting before actually installing them.  We still have to install the actual cabinets and the countertop and the center drawer.  Then we have to put knobs or handles on the doors and drawers. 

I still haven't decided what kind of handles I want yet.  I looked online and thought about some really funky ones that looked artistic (see HERE) but they were $36 EACH (and I need 13 of them!) and I decided I'd rather spend that money on art supplies.  But I did find some that were a lot more reasonable but can't decide which ones I like best!  (see HERE or HERE)   Or maybe, in the interest of time, I ought to just go with something I like at the local home improvement store!

The studio is such a mess, I couldn't get a good shot of the cabinets and it will be a while before I get things in some sort of order but I promise to post photos when I do.

I also wanted to tell you that I may be offline for a while as I need to move my computer stuff and that may mean re-installing my router as the phone line is currently clear across the room and the router is hooked up with an ethernet cord (is that what it's called?)  Not sure what I need to do to change it as my desktop computer does have a wireless card but I imagine it will take some time for me to figure out.  lol  That means no internet access for a while if it takes any time at all.
