SHM Designs Studio Pictures: Open For Business

Can you believe the studio has been open since the beginning of Feburary and I am just getting around to posting some pictures.  I am having so much fun that sometimes I forget to post whats happening and I leave you all hanging.  So sorry!  Well wait no longer....

Here's a look at the beginning stages of SHM Designs Studio's:

A fresh coat of paint does wonders for a room. I wanted a completely blank canvas so I painted the entire room, including floors, in  Sherwin Williams Neutral Ground.  Having white as my backdrop  makes anything a put in there POP.



A look at SHM Designs Studios now:

I love how it looks but there is SO MUCH WORK TO BE DONE.  I have my upholster Susan so busy with client projects and an ottomen line I am about to launch ( pictures of those later ....so so cute) that I haven't been able to redo the furntiture pieces in the studio. All in good time....I need to learn some patience...Good things take time...Baby steps.  I keep repeating those words over and over in my head.  Seriously though, I am so lucky. I have this great place and I am having so much fun.

Hope you like what you see. I am in this huge creative mode and moving quickly on a couple of new designs.  Besides the ottomens, I have designed a new line of cork boards and picture frames. They should be out in the studio in the next couple of weeks.  If you live in the area, stop by to check things out. If you can, please send me a note. I would love to hear what you think.

Remember SHM Designs Studio's is located  on the second floor of:

Craigslist, Goodwill & Flea Markets ; Vintage Finds Ready for Some TLC

Hello,

I have had so much fun getting ready for the opening of the SHM Designs Studio. In between the cleaning and painting, I have actually been able to squeeze in some "Picking". Picking basically means looking for great old pieces that can be restored, refinished or re purposed. One of my favorite things to do. It is amazingly satisfying to take something and give it a whole new life. I love it.

Here are a view of my latest finds:

All of the furniture pieces I plan to reupholster and refinish either with paint or stain. They will be available to see and purchase at SHM Designs Studio on Main Street in Reisterstown. If you see any pieces that you would like to customize or buy as is for a DIY project, just email me at stacy@shm-designs.com. 

Take Care,

Stacy
