I’m finally getting around to blogging about my new studio space and let me tell you…I am SO EXCITED about it!
I’ve been dreaming of a bigger space with more light for months, and worked on manifesting it daily. I tried to be patient and trust that it was out there, but I tend to struggle with patience.
Two weeks ago, I was connected to the landlord of these recently up-fitted buildings (to be called Nora Station) on South 17th Street near the Cargo District, and went to see them that same afternoon. I immediately saw the potential in this super cool industrial-style building with lots of windows, white brick walls and cement and slate floors. Plus, it’s only a couple miles from downtown! I “slept on it” overnight but by the next morning, I was messaging the landlord telling him that I would take the large front office space he had offered me.
When he asked when I wanted to move in, I looked at my calendar. It was going to be a busy October of shoots, birthdays, our anniversary, etc. I asked my neighbor if he could help me move the furniture on Monday, then committed to it…even though I had a shoot booked for the next day!
Luckily, it all went very smoothly thanks to the wonderful support system I have in my life, and I had fabulous first session in the new space (and again on Thursday!).
It’s a work in progress and I plan to be making adjustments as I go, but so far, I think it was the perfect choice. There’s plenty of room for me to set up the “faux shower,” and I even plan to move the vintage tub set into here this winter so that I can offer that set more than just in the spring and summer! (No water, though!)
One of my first priorities is getting even more plants in here – what do you think of a plant/succulent wall behind the headboard of the bed?
I’d love to hear your feedback on the space, so feel free to shoot me a note at alisha@atlanticboudoir.com. Also, there are seven other office spaces available in this building, so please also email me if you’re interested in taking a look!
I’m booking into spring 2021, so if you want to get into this new space next year, set up a time to chat with me here!
