I will be sharing the space with a potter, Bradley Backer of Impart Art. We've been in there the last few days doing some renovation work. A few years ago the space was outfitted as a take out restaurant. Accordingly, Steve & I had to rip out the old take out counter and will patch the floor with cement.
Here are some progress pictures for your curiosity:
My space is a long rectangle roughly 16.5" by 9.5". This is the front portion as you enter the doors.
This is the back portion. Steve and I tore out this counter and the bright green will be painted a light gray. 
I'm lucky Steve has a lot of construction knowledge. I had no idea you could chip out bricks with a chisel and hammer. Really tough work. Thank you Steve!!
The counter is gone and there is a hole we will patch with cement. Another great skill Steve has.
Me cleaning up on day 1. I think we made a lot of progress today! Stay tuned for the next installments of our progress of remodeling and setting up a YazBerry Fashion store in Salem, MA.
Oh, also, this is fun and exciting: part of the agreement for being awarded a store space is that I will be offering free classes, workshops and performances on fashion design, sewing and more! I'll post the class offerings here.
Yippeee Virginia! I'm so happy for you. lots of love, Kate PS- I missed your birthday and am incredibly sorry i didn't call you. my very bad. hope you had a great day!!!!
ReplyDelete"Performances on fashion design and sewing"? Is that like "Virginia and Her Singing Singer"?!
ReplyDeleteKate, no worries. It was v. casual I didn't even have cake?!?!? Betty- love it! There may be some musically inclined performances. Have to get ideas approved so the list is pending, but my proposal did mention some musicking. Performance description: Virginia hums a harmony line to the melody of her buzzing sewing machine. Haha :)
