my finished studio... finally the images you've been waiting for!

1.26.10 (News)

So, although my studio has been "almost finished" for months now and I was working and meeting in it for most of 2009, I was waiting on the completion of a few details before posting images of my "finally finished studio"!!! So here it is...



These chairs were part of what took so long. Seriously, I searched forever to find the right fabric to upholster them with. I ended up driving to Chicago to go to the Merchandise Mart to find the right fabric!





I had this partition wall built so that this corner (left image) could be used as a three-dimensional backdrop. I simply take down the framed collage for a blank backdrop wall, and I specified that my contractor not put any outlets or light switches on it so that I wouldn't have to retouch them out. And I'm SO lucky that my studio gets such amazing natural light!



Another thing that took a while, but was well worth the wait, was this inspiration wall. I hired an amazing artist/painter to mimic the pattern from my wallpaper to create this border. The wall is magnetic so that, as I find inspiration (usually from fashion magazines or catalogs) I can tear it out and stick it right on the wall. This wall is right next to my desk, so the imagery seeps into my brain almost through osmosis!



This is the view from the meeting area looking into the office area. There aren't any windows back there, so I chose reflective wallpaper which would bounce back the light from the main windows. Oh how an understanding of light can come in handy!



And here is a view of the office area...



Did I mention that I have an obsession with mirrored furniture???



Since the studio is so peacefully cool-toned, I decided to go a little wild with the styling of the bathroom. My husband kind of freaked out when he first saw it because it's so pink... but I reminded him that it's not in our house so why should he care?!?!



And these are photos of the (rather boring) kitchenette and storage area.



I kind of feel like this was a weird episode of MTV Cribs!!! Anyway, I hope you like it!
