We've been working in the new studio for the past couple months now, and I have to say…it's been so nice having a separate space to work from. It's taken me eight years of having my own business to feel mentally and financially ready to invest in an outside work space, and I'm so glad I did. I thought I'd miss not getting to work in my PJ's, but I find myself more focused when I don't have to worry about the dirty dishes in the sink or get distracted by the incredibly cute sound of Ruby laughing in the next room. To have the literal space to create has been amazing…
While we're saving the full reveal to show you guys when it's totally done. Here are some tiny peeks for you…
P.S. Thank you so much for your kind words yesterday about our dear Bruce…it meant so much 😉

congrats on the very big big step! i understand you because i work at home and it´s a proyect i have in my to do´s list 😉 beautiful space, i can´t wait until you show it completely!
Can’t wait to see it!
I love the idea of having a studio to work in. I have been working from home for a couple of years, and I’ve found that it’s necessary to set aside a space (besides the couch!) and to get up, get dressed, have coffee, and ‘go’ to that space to work. I can’t believe how much of a difference it makes, psychologically.
That being said, this morning I’m ‘working’ in my nightie, lying on the couch with the TV on the background.
THAT is why I need a studio!
I am excited to see your studio..

Looks really nice.
I love the colors, if i could only work full time in my studio doing what i love would be a dream come true for me.
Congrats 🙂
Two of the three household/office items you show have been on my Pinterest wish list for weeks! Just pulled the trigger on the lamps. 😉
Cool space Joy. Can’t wait to see the pics of the whole reveal. Definitely looks like a place where you can be creative. Love what I see so far!
lovely space
Oh I can’t wait to see the final product! Looks colorful and fun.
I’m loving the peeks! I can’t wait to see the full reveal. =]
Wow! Gorgeous! Love that painted concrete floor!
These pictures are such a tease! It all looks great. Having your own space to work that’s apart from your living area is really important. So happy for you!
Wow, your work is awesome. I love the pillow and lamps! A lot of creativity is waiting to happen!
SUCH a stunning space, congratulations. What a different a room makes. I love the chairs, so lovely. Good luck with it all you gorgeous, inspiring woman!
I am so excited to see the space finished! I know you will come out with something amazing. Congratulations!
I can only imagine how liberating it must feel! There are so many things that I love about working at home, but to be able to go somewhere to work, your own space, is also such a luxury. Can’t wait to see the finished office!

🙂 and where did you get the lovely lamps?
Love the light fixtures!
We have been tossing this idea around and just aren’t quite ready to commit just yet. Can’t wait to see the reveal of your space! And congrats on the move.
You are Superwoman aren’t you? This is so lovely!
It’s looking really beautiful!
Congratulations on the next part of your ‘journey’ Joy! Just curious about the table lamps. Where are they from?
Where did you find the chairs? I LOVE the teeny bit of color!
I know it will be years before I’ll be ready as well, but love that you made it happen! Working from home, while convenient in some ways, is really difficult for me. Keeping focused when you know you have mounds of laundry upstairs is not easy… Beautiful space!
