If you’ve been to my studio you know it’s on the teeny-tiny side of the spectrum as far as studios go. It’s really just a haven away from my home (which is under construction – so to speak) as well as a place to meet with clients before and after my shoots. I rent from Activspace in the Mission District of San Francisco and I love it. Not only is the space perfect but it’s in one of my all-time fav SF neighborhoods. The spaces are rented out as raw (no paint, flooring, etc.) and over time people have added better finish (and sometimes worse). I love my space but the finish is not quite what I would normally want. I just lucked out and found a space just a few doors down that has a little better finish on the walls and trim. I’m a sucker for a really well done taping and plaster job.
I’m moving in very soon and want to update the look and feel of my space. Been thinking of doing something like this (see below): white walls to enlarge the space, ikat somewhere in the space, chair or pillows, perhpas, a gigantic print or two hung contemporary art-style in white, branches hanging from the ceiling and a fun wall gallery with animal themes mixed with modern kids imagery.
Oh and I’m hiding the work zone (bookshelves, sink/kitchenette, printer cart, and chalkboard of todos behind a curtain so it doesn’t always have to be spotless).
What do you think?
Clockwise from center: Anthropologie, Savannah Story Bust, Rhino (made in Haiti), Easter Decoration with branches via Yvestown, can’t remember the source for the wall art images, sorry! DWR Flocks Pouf, West Elm Gallery Frames, Enfants photography by Gaetan Bernard
