I've been working on a little design project during my hiatus. I know I frequently disappear from writing, but one always returns to their first love, right? My sister purchased HOT YOGA NASHVILLE in December and tasked me with a studio redesign.
(Have you tried hot yoga? OH. MY. It will killlllllllllll you. And then you'll be born again. Pun intented. It will quite literally change your life. As they say, go every day for two weeks and you'll go for the rest of your life. It's that good. Man up. Mat down.)
But, I'm rambling. Back to the subject...
A few "befores". I can hardly post these pictures....they hurt my feelings.
NOT ONE OUNCE of Zen. The colors are so emotionally charged that I could not even think about relaxing when I walked in, let alone meditate on my mat or find peace in my practice.
AAAAAAAAAAND, now....here we are. April 2011. AH....bliss.
No sugar and spice for the yogis, but love and light and everything nice:
Serenity. Tranquility. Happiness.
Porcelain tile. NOT vinyl. (Who do you think I am?)
In considering a redesign, keep in mind that all things reflective, even irridescent tiles (over which I was MUCH doubted!), add depth and dimension.
Up next? A restaurant on 12th! I'm not at liberty to elaborate.
Well....actually....I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you.
But you're going to LOVE it. And want to eat there often. Stay tuned - coming September 2011.
Happy Easter and happy spring to all! (Get outside in the dirt and plant something.)
What a beautiful job you did. And yes, I can see how the before pictures would hurt your feelings. It is such a beautiful, sophisticated "zen" space now. Well Done!
ReplyDeleteThanks, friend!!! I saw your studio pics on FB...beautiful! Well done to YOU! Can't wait to visit in person. XOXO
ReplyDeleteI just acquired some lace intended for a A for this very reason! Although we're still a few months away from having weather warm enough to make such a creation I'm planning to dye mine too. I want something brighter!
ReplyDeleteI can't decide on to sleeve or not either... the pattern I'm using has both. I might do a sleeve to see what it looks like, then decide!
