Studio Progress Update – August

It’s been two weeks since I updated you on my Studio progress.  I’ve been busy and made lots of progress, I think.  There’s no big project reveal or even a single project tutorial to share.  Just a whole bunch of different areas where I’ve made progress, added to, built up or tore out…

Right after I finished building my Map Drawers, I got right to work installing more Pergo flooring.  It makes the room look and feel so much more finished than with bare floors which was a nice boost to my morale.  A little morale boost is always lovely!

Next, the tv wall is now wired up and ready for lights and a television!  I left the back open after I framed that wall so I could do electrical work whenever I got around to addressing that wall.  Well I’ve finally gotten around to addressing that wall.  I have changed my mind about the lighting at least 3 4 times so I’m keeping the back open for a while longer in case I change my mind a few more times…Electrical installed in TV wall.

On the front of the tv wall is a cutting table/island.  I will have project tutorial on that when it’s more…finished.

I had to build the cutting table to this point so I could get the electrical and speaker wires pulled into it so I built it to this point and then moved on to wiring.Cutting TableSpeaking of wiring…it’s HOT in the attic in August!  I installed four in-ceiling speakers because I want to flood the studio with music.  (And also, I might use them to augment the tv audio.)

Installing in-ceiling speakers Tada! Without fireworks this picture was pretty blah and I wanted to portray my excitement about the speakers so…

I designed the cutting table with a shelf for my receiver/amplifier so I can flood the room with music.  There will also be power outlets because I anticipate using the cutting table as an ironing table.  #PlanAhead #PlanForEveryPossibleThingcutting-table-electrical

And that brings us back to the tv wall.  I decided that I wanted to do my faux brick and plaster treatment again but didn’t want to cover the whole wall.  I glued SOME brick to the wall and then decided I had a better idea so I pulled that back off started over.  Which made a mess of the wall which I’m totally ok with because it will add to aged look I’m attempting to give the wall.  Trust me…It’s going to be awesome!

  1. Thanks! I don’t even know what stereo 7.1 is or what 6e cable signifies. LOL The receiver has the capability of hooking up directly to other devices. I will probably only use bluetooth because I can control it from wherever I am in the room on my computer. Just convenience.

  2. Wow, this is impressive! If you plan ever to have a stereo 7.1, add another set of cables for the extra speaks. Also, bluetooth will never match 6e cable for speed, which someday will be a problem. Just saying, y’know?

  3. So happy to hear that you love your speakers. I love listening to music while I work. I can’t work without it. My receiver has bluetooth as well so I’ll just link up my computer and play away! I’m not even putting a dvd player or dvr up there. My tv can stream from all the networks and I generally watch from Netflix or Amazon so I’m good to go! I can’t wait to get it all hooked up. Just have to finish that wall! LOL

  4. I only laugh at the number of times I change my mind. That doesn’t deter me from doing it though. LOL I want what I want — even if it’s a bit more work.

  5. I hate being hot too. I crank my AC down to 65 wherever I’m working. There are a lot of things about this house that drive me crazy. So many dumb things. One of the few things I appreciate is that each level has a separate AC unit. So my studio (the loft) is nice and cool. I was talking about the attic above my studio where the speakers where installed. There’s another 8′ above the center of my loft so I don’t know why the builder made the loft ceilings only 8′ tall. The main level is 9′ and the basement is 10′. (Which I LOVE.)
