Before and After Photos of The Studio
Somehow I just knew when I saw this place, that it was meant to be. Don't ask me how, I just knew. When I called Kamila to tell her about the place, I was literally shaking because I was so excited.
Here is the outside entrance to the studio. This may have been what got me-- so sweet. This building is a carriage house dating back to the mid 1800's. This actual part of the building used to be a horse stable. Is it a coinsidence that my 2 year old loves horses? I think not.
It really just needed some TLC, AND paint, AND new flooring, AND new ceiling tiles, AND new curtains and curtain rods, AND new lighting, AND new custom built ins, more paint, AND new fixtures, AND new light switches, AND new locks and door handles, AND new custom cushion covers, and did I mention paint?! Have a look-see for yourselves. I warn you, the before pictures are not for the faint of heart. Pure ugly...
This is what we saw when we first walked in. Notice the hideous stained "carpet". Thank you to Craig for ripping it up and installing the flooring.

Here is Craig putting in the flooring. That is my daughter Valen Supervising.
Here is the bathroom BEFORE-- pre-grout and paint.
Here is the bathroom AFTER!
Here were the paint swatches that drove me insane. For weeks I stared at every variation of lavender and charcoal possible. Kamila helped me confirm that dark didn't necessarily equate to goth.
After deliberating for so long, it was obvious that we made the right choices.
This is the formica counter that I had installed. It is the perfect height for doing makeup, and the perfect length if there are two of us doing makeup side by side. Below is the pattern of the counter.
I also made the curtains from a vintage material that I got at JoMar in Norristown.
We just love the way that the studio came out. Well worth the labor itself. It is a great feeling seeing your dreams come to fruition. It is an absolute joy to work here. Kamila and I are enjoying meeting our clients in such a warm and comfortable place. We hope that you will enjoy it too! Come visit us soon! xo-Emily
