All great ideas come from somewhere. The edge of madness, for instance.
This is actually quite a nice space that has previously been leased out as an exercise studio, an artists studio (storage unit) and a workshop for a soap maker.
It has been vacant for the past 8 mo. and I have no serious inquiries from potential tenants so I am going to be pro-active and try a truly crazy idea.
This is going to become an ART GALLERY. Yes, I know the market art is stalled out, the economy is awful, the recession seems to be deepening. No one in her right mind would open an art gallery. Who said I was in my right mind?
As you can see I am very bad about just dropping off things from the bookstore, or my life, that should be taken down to the basement storage area. Santa, the Christmas garlands, the Valentine tree are headed to storage this weekend. And why is the dog's crate dumped off here? Or my carpets that need cleaning? All going OUT of this area.
Then, a good cleaning. Some touch up painting. A bit of trim work to finish. So getting new light fixtures. Those nasty hand-me-down things in the tracks are out of here as soon as I get to a home center.
