So…..many of you know that I bought a little house to turn into a studio.  I still do mostly on location outdoor photography……but I did need a place to shoot babies, and  little sessions….and I guess I forgot how much I used to enjoy studio shooting, because it’s been fun.  Anyway……I prepped a room to shoot in….and a little reception area…but I needed a dressing room…and a spot for clients to fix hair…makeup….or just look at themselves in a mirror.  The tiny bathroom just wasn’t going to cut it.  And I have literally almost no budget for this type of thing….so I went to Lowes to wander around and come up with ideas.   So I thought…….I’ll buy a vanity light fixture and wire it with a lamp wiring kit so I can plug it into the wall since I have no wiring in my walls….and that is something I haven’t yet attempted.   So…….I did it………..I bought a light fixture…..and a wiring kit…..

And trust me……I definitely used the instructions on this one…..

okay so the light kit wired to my plug wire……… 

And then after everything reassembled…….I plugged it in.  It works!!! 

Then off to the studio………I hung a mirror I already had, and bought a shelf and some brackets……paired with a $10 stool from Goodwill……..so for about $55……..a makeup area for my clients….yay!

And while we are at the studio you might as well see where the magic happens…..lol…. 

and this is the reception area…….remember that chandelier that I bought and refurbished?  There it hangs….front and center….I love it.

And that wall……….with the pictures…….I did the drywall…..yes I’m bragging…… 

On your way out……..this is your view…….

I wanted my girls to help me…….because I want them to know that……………

With the right bling…………

A girl can do anything!   Girl Power……………..this is for you Brooklyn…..we Believe!
