Jenna Sue Design Co. Studio: The Reveal!

After months of work, the time has finally come… my studio is complete!

Before I show the photos, let’s take it back to the very beginning when we first moved in 2.5 years ago…

It was a sad little tan box with no style.

Pin

Pin

Then we removed the popcorn, laid some hardwood down, gave it a fresh coat of paint, and it became our master bedroom:

Pin

Pin

We loved our bedroom, but times were a changin’ and business came first. So we moved out and the office moved in.

Pin

And after some beefed up lighting…

Pin

…new wall treatment,

Pin

a much larger workspace…

Pin

and, of course, this beast of a machine…

Pin

…we’ve made it to the finish line!

Let’s also remember what the old office looked like…

Pin

Don’t let the wide angle lens fool you—this room is about half the size as the new office. Cramped, humble beginnings.

Welcome to the new and improved, Jenna Sue Design Co. Studio…

Pin

You’ll recognize the cabinet and two side desks which were reused from the old office…

Pin

Still loving my binder filing organization system!

Pin

There’s plenty of desk space now to spread out while I’m working on the computer:

Pin

In the center of the room is a 4×6 foot table that’s just the right size for cutting posters.

Pin

The wall space is used as convenient storage for tools:

Pin

On the other side is my packaging station:

Pin

Pin

I picked up these brocade paper trays at Office Max,

Pin

along with a matching business card holder:

Pin

These just happen to match the wall file I purchased a couple years ago at the Container Store:

Pin

Above the hanging files is something very special to me…

My Grandpa recently passed, and a sweet friend surprised me by getting a star named after him. He always told me how proud he was of me, and this is a nice reminder of where I came from and where I’m going.

Pin

At the end of the room is a sliding glass door leading to the backyard, with lots of light and a perfect view of afternoon storms. A much more inspiring view than before!

Across the desk area is my big printer…

Pin

Pin

And finally, one of my favorite parts… storage!

Pin

These Ikea Vittsjo shelves have been a lifesaver.

Pin

I love that everything has a place—I know exactly where to go, and can easily see when I’m running low on something.

Pin

There was even room for a couple pretty things.

Pin

I designed this print specifically with this space in mind, and will also offer it for sale soon…

Make sure you’re following me on facebook to be the first to know when it comes out!

If you missed any steps, make sure to check out our decision to switch rooms, adding lighting and setting up the desk area, making beadboard wall and shelf ledge, adding storage and an area rug, and wrapping up with the finishing touches. And as always, you can find a complete source list, including paint colors, on my Florida House tour page!

Well folks, that wraps up the new studio tour. Special thanks to everyone who has been following along since the beginning! It’s been a fun ride, and I can happily report that the 8+ hours I spend in here each day are much more pleasant—and most importantly, efficient! It’s amazing what a well thought out arrangement can do for your workflow.

Here’s to the next chapter of Jenna Sue Design Co…
