The All New Soap Studio!!

I've been away from the blog for a few days, remodeling the soap studio! When we moved in six months ago, the focus was just to get up and running (and to get all of the soap stuff out of my kitchen at home!).  But I wanted a place to work that would inspire me and make me happy... so we took the plunge!  It still needs some finishing touches, but I wanted to share the progress with you so far...

First, some before pics...

Bare, concrete floor with random tire marks on it...

Unfinished dry wall...

First, the walls. I floated my first drywall seams!

We stained the concrete floor and sealed it- I love the texture and warmth of the color.  And, it covered up all the ugly spots!

And then the paint.  I chose Jalapeno Jelly for the color, with black accents.

And here's the result:

As you can see, we've still got some unpacking and organizing to do.  We'll also eventually paint the shelving and workbench, but I wanted to get up and running again as soon as possible.  I've already made a batch of soap!

Thanks for taking the tour!  Next I'll show you the soaps my new studio inspired!
