Okay, Okay… I am not MIA but things are a bit hectic and crazy around here. We have officially moved the studio to a larger unit down the hall. This past week has been INSANE! Not only did the current tenants renege on their offer to let us into the pretty much empty space early to start working on the floors, but we also went and got a dog last weekend. This past week has been spent scraping, prepping and painting concrete floors and juggling toddlers and a new puppy(who thankfully doesn’t act like a puppy and who has been so sweet and well behaved through the caos that has been the last week). Sadly we are still not finished the floor but will continue to finish it in sections…. then to do a floor and all the way up ONTO the ceiling paint job(throw in some drywall reconstruction into that mix) Oh and did I mention the past tenants were graffiti artists and tagged the space EVERYWHERE, but did attempt a coverup with this yucky beige paint. Sigh.
Anyhow, things are starting to look great and the floor is coming along quite nicely… unfortunately, in my exhaustion I left the point and shoot at the studio and therefor the studio progression images will have to wait for another day. I can, however, show you a sneak at some experimental floor art… and no, the floor is no longer white, that was just primer and base. 😉
My awesome hubby working hard…
For those wondering what this is, it’s a gorgeous wall mural from Stickerbrand. My original intent was to use it as a stencil and do the texture painting over top and then peal it off. However, it looks so cool with the texture we put down that we’ve decided to leave it down and are crossing our fingers that all the coats of Urethane will keep this bad boy protected! More transformation shots to come…
Now, because you are probably all dying to know… *snicker*… this is our new pup, Osgrrr and he’s about 1 year old according to the vet- creative spelling was my hubby’s idea. 😉 He appears to be a Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix and is a deep chocolate brown with black patches, or black with brown patches(whichever) but in low light he’s just black. Ha! We got him at the San Martin Humane Society and he seems to be house and leashed trained. He also goes in his crate very well but we haven’t really used it much. We figured it would take weeks to find the prefect dog but this little guy, our last and hesitant option the day we went to visit the shelter since we didn’t actually want a dog so young, came bouncing up to all of us in the play yard and immediately wanted tummy rubs. The main seller- he wasn’t shy with the boys! ♥ He has officially become my “bodyguard”- hubby quote, and has even started barking when he hears strange noises, however the barking seems to only occur when Jeff isn’t home, and I’m totally cool with that since it’s very infrequent. P.S. He’s very camera shy, especially with my big gun, but he’s much more perky than he appears in this sad and pathetic image. Hahaha
Now, because I can’t have a post without a gorgeous gal in it AND I just happened to shoot one last Thursday morning AND it was the last shoot in my previous studio… well here ya go…
Nice gams Miss D! 😉
