This morning, before Chris’s alarm even went off, I nudged him awake and said, “Wouldn’t it be fun to get the readers involved in designing the studio?” Even half asleep, he seemed enthusiastic about the idea. It’s not that I couldn’t whip up a mood board and do, yet another, before and after of a room easily–it’s that we have done that with every space in our home so far. We decide, and work and then you spectate. Eh, let’s switch it up. You decide (with our guided options) and we’ll put the winning vote into action and then everyone is invested in the space. I think it will be exciting, don’t you?
And so, here is your first big decision and it has to happen before you (yup, y-o-u) can even decide on a specific paint color:
Option A–White walls and a white ceiling:

Option C–White walls, painted ceiling in a bluish tone:

I whipped up a quick poll for you to cast your vote. Feel free to add additional commentary, questions, concerns or ideas in the comments sections. We have a lineup of things for you all to decide on and can’t wait to get this studio renovated with your input.





loooove that bold ceiling! I think it’s the perfect balance between inspiring/creative and neutral.
I personally would do the blue walls with white ceiling, but I’m not a risk taker. For you guys I think you should do the bold ceiling! You can definitely pull it off!
I LOVE the painted ceiling more, but voted white and white because I remember you mentioning you wanted to use this space to take product photos. I’m not sure if a colored ceiling would add a tint. BUT… after saying that, my porch for photo taking will be getting a super light green ceiling soon. I guess we’ll see what happens.
Woot!
Love your enthusiasm! You are definitely up to this task.
