What a great picture of Kory and the piano keys! And I have enjoyed reading the whole thread! :lol:
When you redo the garage onto a studio, what kind of entry do you have from the house proper? Do you have to step down to the garage floor? If so, I would raise the floor leverl to the house level so you have no step! A good subfloor there will help with heating and cooling, and be easier on your feet! And then a laminate floor, or wood, or whatever, but NOT carpeting! At least not the whole room. :?
Windows for natural light and track lights and ceiling fans will all add to your comfort level.
In my area, ReUseIt.org is our answer to freecycle.org. It is wonderful! And if people know you are on the look out for things, word of mouth is wonderful for getting goodies!
Sounds like you have a good relationship that will only grow!
I wish you well in your endeavors! :thumbup:
Dream big and make a big wish list of all that you want in your DREAM room, and then decide what you really want and ran actually use. :lol:
