But right now, I would be very happy with a second bathroom. That’s starting on Friday. Yipee!! Good luck with the renovations.

It sounds like a great project for you! Congrats!
My number one suggestion is to make sure that your light, whether coming from a natural or artificial source is good.
Don’t underestimate the frustration that bad lighting in a creative space can cause! Hang out there at different times of the day and see what your lighting needs are. You may decide that placement of furniture and storage areas may change due to windows and natural light.
By the way, your dining room and kitchen look AMAZING! Can’t wait to see the finished pics of your new STUDIO!
p.s. I’m adding a link to your blog on mine, hope you don’t mind!

Wow, how lucky for you to get your own stash room! And yes, I totally understand the craving for closets – I grew up in Europe!

Me again. I’m thinking of using this chunky wool I have for another cable scarf. Is there any reason why you cabled everything 10th row with your pattern. I am thinking of only having two rows of cable and would like them to be a little tighter. Would I do the cable every 6th or 8th row? What do you think? Thx-
Louise

i like your idea about opening up the stairs to the attic–it would open the room up as well as offer the possibility of storing bits and pieces on the stair-steps–so long as the attic isn’t used often, but rather on a semi-annual basis.
and leave room for a big comfy chair or a loveseat!!!

Loved the pictures of your house. Your project sounds fun. I would suggest a visit to organized living. They have all this neat organization stuff. Its usually a bit more expensive but whith valuable time it’s easier than hunting down the best price.
The chairs in your dining room remind me of this pineapple chair that my aunt gave me. Do your chairs have pineapples on the back?
So I got wool (didn’t have the Kureyon so I got a similar weight – Berroco Uxbridge Tweed)and started your scarf with the cables. I had to rip once but things are going well now. Won’t be at Perkfection on Monday. Taking a pattern reading class. Decided on a new sweater project. Going to get wool and use that pattern.
Good luck with your project. If the room ends up anything like your kitchen and Dining Room I am sure it will be lovely.
Louise
