Studio Transformation!

Over the Thanksgiving holiday my darling husband took extra time off work to install a new floor in the studio.  See the bright red carpet at the left?  That was there when we moved into this house 9 years ago and I am so excited for this next upgrade to this creative workspace!
We opted for tile for several reasons.  This room has a concrete slab foundation and there would be no need to put additional floor board, the tiles could adhere directly to the concrete.  Plus, the tile would marry up easily to the tiles we put in under the stove.  I like that it will be long lasting, and easy to keep clean.  
​
​About the tiles around the stove, last summer I asked Amy Holland, a local potter, if she would make some custom animal tiles for me.  I wanted a few tiles to accent the border, and specifically animals that we encounter around our house.  Although she normally is not a tile maker, she graciously agreed to give it go!  I am so glad she did, I am thrilled with them and so happy to have another artist's work adorn my studio. 

You can scroll through the slideshow below to see the progression and details about the art tiles around the stove.  Also, you can check out the short video below the slideshow!

I toured The Landing at Augusta Woods with my father, and we were impressed by how modern and inviting the community felt. Staff members were engaging and professional, and my father liked the spacious common areas. It came across as a vibrant and supportive environment.

Customer service is another area where Wimbledon dry cleaners excel. Many shops offer personalised care, remembering repeat customers’ preferences and providing advice on fabric maintenance.
