New studio!

Hi Debra,

How exciting! Your new studio sounds fabulous. Mine is only 10'x17' but I feel truly blessed to have that space all to myself.

I thought about skylight, actually I bought them and then returned them. I ordered them with roller shades that come down over the skylight and block out the light. There is a motor to control the shades and a keypad on the wall. You might want to look into that since that's easy to do with new construction. I bought Velux brand, they seemed to have some great options.

I still need to figure out the helper flourescent lights. I went to Home Depot but they don't have the right tubes, I'll have to search on line for the right specs. And I'm not real sure exactly where I'll mount them, probably between the window on the wall and the dormer in the ceiling.

I've been thinking about curtains too but haven't bought any fabric yet. I am really hoping to be in my new studio by the first week in November. I hope you'll post photos!

Joan
