Help! There's A Piano in My Foyer...
We are in the process of a studio makeover here. Thus, the old antique piano has been wheeled out into the foyer, nice huh? Have to make room for all that is planned. So the piano will sit until we find the right spot for it (like maybe the dumpster?) Is there a way to see passed this mess? Hubby is building shelves to house the pillows, and hutches for fabric and slipcover storage all out of our salvage materials. There will be an area for the canvas prints and frames. A stationery spot for the notecard line, mason jars filled with supplies, etc.. A staging area for product shots, not to mention my daughter asked for her own craft area so she "can work with mommy", so I will have to fit this in somewhere. I can see the way I want it to look if I close my eyes...but getting it together will be a challenge I still have my home office (see below) that's where the computer is and where I do all the paperwork. (fun) Wish me luck, I will need it!
Oh the humanity! Is there light at the end of this tunnel?
The home office in another part of the house...at least I can get some work done in here for now!
Tara this looks lovely. Even the piano in the foyer! Good luck with your renovation project, I can't wait to see the finished after shots.

What a project! It will be FABULOUS when completed I'm sure!!! Oh GOD, Moving a piano? good luck with that my friend~! when we bought our beach house there was an antique piano smack in the middle of one of the bedrooms that weighed about 10 tons! we inched it out & then took it apart piece by piece! These things weigh so much~don't wreck those wood floors!LOL! :)keep us posted on the makeover-can't wait to see!

Tara, this is so COOL to see the beautiful glimpses into your gorgeous, gorgeous home! I love the piano! Shannon will take hers one day and yours is the exact kind that I want to get to replace it! Can't wait to see your special, creative spaces when you are done rearranging and "playing".. And yes the clipboard is just adorable!

Aren't handy husbands the greatest? I can't wait to see the after photos ~ the before and in-progress are beautiful! I'm getting a studio late summer ~ I hope. My husband's a carpenter and seems like everyone else is keeping him busy with projects...
I just found your lovely blog. I'm about to go back and read more!

Looks like a perfect resting place. Workroom? It is what we make it, isn ´t it. I like it.
