Alex, I am insanely jealous of your soon to be studio. That rocks.

I think I can see a good spot for the beer fridge over there in the corner. TM hang at Alex's? Yeah, that sounds good.


Congrats to you Lady.

PS... don't finish it in barn red... do the outside up in faux log cabin so it matches the house.

Okay....

I hereby suggest that anyone who wants should send Alex a signed picture of him/herself or some other small, creative memento in order to start a "TM Corner" for Alex's studio! Smaller is better, probably. Then, in about a year she can take a pic of the aforementioned corner and post it so we can all see!

I like it Manny! Yeah, any of you guys that want to send something (like a picture of yourself) for a TM corner, that would be great! The entire east wall, which is 25 ft long, has enough room for a designated TM spot. It would be fun. Sort of like old restaurants that have pictures of famous folks....a TM wall of fame.

I will probably be snapping a lot of pictures this year at ITG, so be forewarned.

On a serious note, anyone who comes to Atlanta is welcome to stay here for a visit.

no fair! You're "studio" is almost as big as my condo!
doh!

I'm jealous that on May 5 you get to have leaves on the trees. It's just starting here.

congratulations on the new space!!

Well, that is why a lot of your homies are moving here Trent. Taxachussettes is just too much for some.

Honestly, this studio is almost bigger than my old townhouse near downtown. It was purchased in the early 90's and sold for double what we paid in 2002. I was also lucky enough to find this place right before the boom. I am so fortunate to have my little piece of earth. The house is simple, but roomy also. I honestly have no desire to own a new McMansion box. I will keep my cabin in the "woods".

Toots, it would be nice to match the shop to the house, but the cabin is REAL Cypress and I feel faux anything would not look so nice against it. The front door of the house is a dark barn red and a nice contrast to the wood and surrounding flora. I don't want to paint the outside of the shop another shade of boring beige and I feel the barn red would be a really nice contrast against the wood and trees and have a charming look when finished. I can call it "The Brass Barn". Sounds like a great name for a pub, eh?

Think of it this way......at least your nights get cooler. In the summer, there really is no escape from the heat and humidity here. I love New England and would live there if I could live anywhere in our country. I lived in Connecticut (Stoors, UConn's town) and in Vernon many moons ago. You live in a beautiful part of the country B15.

Thank you for the congrats. I am still rubbing my eyes in disbelief, but so excited!
