Well, I'm not building an actual dedicated studio but we are finishing off our garage, adding a ceiling, finishing the floor, drywall and electrical, a loft and storage space. One side will be storage hidden behind a large curtain kind of thing for both my gear and some household stuff. The opposite wall will be my desk/teaching studio stuff with the storage curtain thing being the backdrop for my videos and the 3rd actual wall will have the old counter from Premier and the air conditioning. I'm very excited.
In addition we are having the exterior of the house repaired and painted and probably a 100 sq ft wood shed added in the back yard for additional storage. I'll share pics here and there.
This was the house when we bought it in 2009:
Other than some landscaping and a ridiculously expensive roof it mostly looks like that now. We are replacing the brick with something more modern and completely changing the colors to something less vomitous.
For those of you in the rest of the country, this is an 1059 sq ft house built in 1956 that is now worth around $550k in the current market (we paid about half that). It's amazing to have gained that much equity and still not be able to afford to buy a slightly larger home in this area so we're trying to make it more workable for the near future. The house also just needs exterior repairs on the stucco and the brick so it was time to do this before we had more serious problems. In a few years we might add on to the house but for now this is a major upgrade for us.
