Red Bird Cabin

My new art studio is coming together!  Adam, my partner-in-crime, has been painstakingly building it over the past 2 months (with my help here and there), and now we have the doors & windows in, the siding on, shingles on the roof, and sheetrock installed.  I haven’t tallied up the total cost of the project yet, but it was done on a tight budget.

Art Studio in Progress

We bought the windows & doors on craigslist, the stained glass window on Ebay (which had to be reframed), got the shingles for free, and bought the Board and Batten redwood siding from a local guy who sustainably harvested & milled a few trees on his property.  Board and Batten is one of the most inexpensive ways to cover a building, and is easy to install.  It also gives the studio that rustic, barn-like feel that I love.

Hours and hours of hard labor
