The Loft @ JPHQ

There's a loft space at my warehouse/office that was occupied by another tenant. I've been eyeing the space ever since I moved in. It recently became available and I snatched it as fast as I could. Now I could do the responsible thing and use the space for additional product storage or for my tradeshow displays, but I really don't want to be carrying boxes up and down the stairs.

The answer, a cozy little spot to hang out with friends. Yesterday the family came and we fixed it up. My dad built a railing because it was too dangerous. Wouldn't want a friend to reach for a ping pong ball and fall off the side.

There's still some finishing touches needed, but the major stuff is all done. I love before and after pictures, so here ya go.

I felt like I was on a home makeover show yesterday. Us ladies bought all the furniture while our carpenter (Dad) built the railing, then we returned to clean, paint, assemble and decorate...all in 12 hours.

Although I didn't choose the responsible route for The Loft, I can justify my choice in stating that it has provided me with some motivation. After finishing Catalina, I designed a garment for a book and then put down my needles for over a month (this is a long time for me). I've had no inspiration to design something new. Today, I can't get my office work done fast enough. I just want to sit in The Loft and knit!
