potential new studio

potential new studio

i have a studio in my home, and lately, it makes me feel very cooped up. walking around san diego, i happened upon this building with studio space for rent. it seemed like it was calling to me with its charley harper esque front door mural, so i made an appointment to go check out the interior later today.
hoping for the best!

do any of you have studio spaces in or out of your home? i'm finding that at home, sometimes i'm not able to focus or stay motivated & it has become quite frustrating. also, i love the idea of having a space where i do work not related to my shop or business. like, it could be my painting studio only. not my design studio - and definitely not my EMAIL studio. good god.

on a side note, if any creatives in san diego would like to potentially share a studio, email me! -- not sure if the offices here are big enough to share, but i like the idea of sharing.

It's so gorgeous!

I have the focus/motivation problem too... not sure how to fix that.

Wow, this space appears to be perfect!

Right now my 'studio' is really just my computer and desk but I do still get distracted. Seems like every project requires a gazillion breaks and time-outs...

i have studio space in my basement. it's pretty large. my computer is usually upstairs, so that takes away that distraction. and what a distraction it is!

my only issue with the basement is that there's no heat. so it's hard to work down there in the winter, especially with polymer clay. it's nice and cool in the summer though.

my studio is in our apartment. i love it because i always have my supplies on hand for when an idea strikes me, but i also have the tendency to think "well, it's right there, i can do it later" and then it never happens.

i also get easily distracted when i'm working in there and wind up gravitating the living room and forgetting to go back. so..i love it because it's right here, i guess i just need to learn to be more disciplined :)

Excellent
From the outside it looks really great! I hope that it looks just as good on the inside.

That is forking adorable.

Be careful Hansel and Gretel don't interrupt your drawin' time.

Yep
I work from home most of the time with the design and day-to-day aspects of 'strawberryluna', and know exactly where you are coming from with this post. Too bad that the space didn't work out though. I do print out of a community space, and that is fraught with a whole 'nother set of issues, so I am looking for a happy medium. Is there such a thing? Sigh.

Understand
I completely understand. Currently I'm in the process of buying a house, and there's a detached garage with a room that I will eventually turn into my studio. That way I have to get up and go out there, so I have the benefit of working from home while getting out of the house.
