Our new studio | April 5th, 2010

For the past year and half Alee & Press had overtaken all 700 square feet of my hubby’s & my condo. It grew gradually, but for more time than I like to remember, we had a bed in the corner and were living in a letterpress studio. IT WAS CHAOS! It definitely had it’s upsides but many, many downsides. At the start of 2010 I was dying for a home that we could relax in & that I could start designing. We were out of room for the growing business, even with all my clever storage & shelving. With the need for some full time help, we decided it was finally time to move the business on out! On moving day it was a little bittersweet. I cried as I looked at everything all boxed up and ready for the movers & continued to until the next morning when the movers arrived. It was a bit surreal that it was actually happening and I was overwhelmed with how much we had sacrificed and how much I had achieved in such a short amount of time. I’m sure I was stressed out too, as moving is not fun. The movers took EVERYTHING except the bed and 2 boxes with books and dvds!!! I’m now learning how to leave work at work (it’s hard) and enjoy making small messes at the studio that I don’t have to stare at while I’m laying in bed at night! I’m probably a much more pleasant person to live with these days. My husband is a saint!

I will miss printing looking out to this. It never got old.

Ready for the movers.

The new HUGE studio. I’m in love with the archway!

I’ll post pictures once the studio is camera ready. We’re still in the process of unpacking and getting it how we want it.
