Measuring 8' x 14', this building will be used as an office, sewing room, and recording studio. I am super excited to christen this space, make it my own, and put it to good use.
Inside wasn't much, but I love the light all the windows allow in. The first step is always to give a new building a good cleaning. Sweeping and vacuuming up all the sawdust, loose nails, and such in preparation is important.
After giving the building a good cleaning, I set out to paint the walls. Since I do not intend to insulate this building as it is so small heating and cooling it will not be an issue. I chose a nice clean creamy white to make the space seem larger.
Using two old bi-fold closet doors I got for $10 each, a frame was built to support each door and then secured to the wall. This created a large L-shaped work surface on two of the walls. A decorative wooden curtain rod was sacrificed to create decorative legs to support the outside edges of the table.
Using left over lumber and other building materials, shelves have been built between the wall studs. It has been slow going as they must be spaced, leveled, and plumbed before being secured using long screws. However, progress is being made. Some of the shelves will be painted and some will remain their natural wood appearance.
Things are coming along and the building is really taking shape. As time allows over the next week I will continue to install all the shelves. I still have to decide on flooring, but I may just paint the floor and bring in a room-size rug.
I need to insulate for sound in the ceiling, so I am exploring building my own sound baffles which will control sound and offer some insulation in the ceiling area. Once I figure it out, you can bet I will share it with you!
Thanks for stopping by the homestead!
