(Duni's) Studio redesign

My current studio is bursting at the seams. I have been thinking up ways to accomodate my growing business and the varying demands that entails. I've come to the conclusion that switching rooms is the best solution for the time being. So, since the living area is quite large and hardly gets any use at all, I will gradually be moving my studio there. Apart from one structural change - installing a fixed partition to separate the studio from the living space - it will be pretty straightforward.

I'm giving away my old (very old) desk and looking forward to choosing a new one! Here are a few things I envisage for my new studio:



desk, carpet and storage boxes from here // desk chair from here // stationery from here // anglepoise lamp off ebay // letter box from here // inspirational sign from here

Mein jetziges Arbeitszimmer/Atelier ist zum Platzen voll und ich habe schon länger darüber nachgedacht, wie ich die unterschiedlichen Anforderungen  meines wachsenden Geschäfts gerecht werde. Letztendlich bin ich  zu dem Schluss gekommen, daß ein Zimmerwechsel für jetzt die beste und einfachste Lösung ist. Da der Wohnbereich recht groß ist und wir uns dort kaum aufhalten (!), ziehe ich in den nächsten Wochen dorthin um. Eine strukturelle Änderung - nämlich die Installation einer Trennwand, um den Arbeits vom Wohnraum zu trennen, ist jedoch notwendig.
Meinen alten (sehr alten) Schreibtisch gebe ich ab und freue mich schon auf den neuen! Für die Mini-Renovierung habe ich schon mal ein paar Ideen gesammelt (s.o.) :)

How about you? Are there any rooms in your house you'd love to redesign?

Und wie sieht's bei Euch aus? Habt Ihr auch Räume, die renovierungsbedürftig sind?

Das kommt mir bekannt vor. (: Ich habe mein Arbeitszimmer auch erst von Grund auf sortiert und ausgemistet. Renovieren muss ich noch nicht wieder - wir sind erst vor einem knappen Jahr eingezogen.

That lamp looks wonderful, I love the colour. I have some of those white boxes and they are super handy!

Liebe Duni,
tolle Ideen hast Du zusammen getragen und ich würde mich freuen, wenn Du später das fertige Zimmer einmal vorstellst! Oh ja, wir müssen unser Arbeitszimmer(chen) auch dringend neu gestalten und anders strukturieren und einige andere Dinge sind auch zu tun...

Ganz liebe Grüße, Birgit

I have these storage boxes and they are so fab - definitely quite sturdy and can fit a lot of things inside. I am a big fan of inspirational quotes/mottos for an office, and this one is probably one of the best I've seen - it's so true and we should constantly be reminded about focusing on doing what we love! Have fun organising your new-old studio! :) xoxo

That looks like a perfect studio for you! I love the simplicity of the desk, and that letter box is a cutie!

Das sieht alles so perfekt aus...genau so stelle ich mir Dein Studio vor!

Wir beginnen gerade mit ein paar Renovierungen und weiss wird dabei auch eine dominante Möbelfarbe werden :)

Love that lamp. I'm still kicking myself for leaving a white one at the salvation army about a month ago. What on earth was a thinking? I think it was something like $2. palm to forehead! ugh. I've got new shelves that I wanted for a long time, now still trying to figure out the best way to store everything on them.

Good luck with your move! I love the "Do what you love everyday." sign. That is such an important concept.

Liebe Duni,
na, das wird ja bestimmt ganz schön anstrengend....
Ich bin gespannt...
und drücke dir die Daumen!
Herzlichst

How fun Duni! It is a blast to redecorate a space and make it useful. That is fantastic that you have a larger space you can utilize for your business.

How fun to get a bigger space! Hope all goes well!

Ann said...

Sounds exciting. I like all the things you've chosen.
I would like to redo my whole house :)

Lin said...

Oh, that would be GREAT to be able to redecorate! Can't wait to see photos of the finished product.

How great to gain more space and get to redecorate! I love all the white with pops of color!
I'm hoping to put an addition on our house sometime this year so I can have some more working space :)

This is what I call a "beautiful problem" Duni. Needing more space and creating some organization, is a great sign of expanding, growing and a promising business. Hooray!

And I love your collections there, the Cath Kidston notebook and are those boxes from Ikea?

Your space will be amazing! Good luck with the FUN move. Thanks for your sweet comments you leave me. xo

Hallo liebe Duni, da wir vor fast vor 3 Jahren ein hundertjähriges Haus renoviert haben...ufffffff, reicht mir erstmal diese Renoviererei. Aber es macht auf jeden Fall riesigen Spaß sich neue Anregungen zu holen und neu einzurichten. Bin gespannt auf deinen neuen Arbeitsbereich. Liebe Grüße Bella

I think it's awesome that you need a bigger space! I love your finds! I'm redoing my sewing room. For me, it's a slow process and I can't wait to be finished. I hope you show us your new space when it's done.

LimeRiot said...

Ohh fun!! I think changing spaces can be really inspiring! i know it's also a lot of work though. Good luck! Looking forward to seeing the room put together :).

I love that lamp! And the chair looks great :) We're hoping to move house soon and i can't wait to have a fresh start and a new space to redesign. Hx

ah...sounds great!
Yes, there is a room--a rather unused "living room." We hope to make it into a library.
