Fantastic workspace Steph, you must feel so pleased with yourself. How do you find working with the extraction on the bench? It certainly gives a more 'tidy' look.

That looks brilliant! Well done you. I didn't notice the posh ventilation in the Lusherie, too busy oohing and aaahing at everything else

bluefairy · August 07, 2011, 12:08:37 PM

Wow, all those shelves of glassy gorgeousness, it looks amazing!! Bloomin well done, you should be really proud of yourself, I let OH do all the diy stuff then just went in and made it pretty

Like Sarah said, I'd just keep grinningat it all too, it's lovely!

Going to have to investigate the Lush ventilation, me likey a LOT, completely unobtrusive. Does it work like that then, does it have enough of a pull to it? Looks brilliant x

Other than the noise of the fan, I didn't notice it - it worked well on the incense test. However, I have lost a bit of silver leaf when I dropped it before placing it on my glass - zoop, it was gone! Made a mental note to take care when doing that again!

Unfortunately DH is in the navy and is away 75% of the time - if I didn't try to do things myself, they would never get done!

What I have found good though, is the period of time working the way I did before - learning what was good for me, and what I would like to have if ever I was able to put it in place, and hooray, I've got it!

unobtrusive

That's the word I have been searching for for the past week when trying to describe the ventilation - thank you! (It was on the tip of me tongue!)

You have done an absolutely fantastic job.....I love it all!

Everything is so neat and tidy with its own little space....and I am very impressed you did it all yourself!

Are all your tubes glued together....I can't see what is supporting them?

You look like a very tidy person......I wish my space was this neat!

I glued them together Lyn with a hot glue gun! My previous space was not at all tidy - but the deal I had to make with DH (to enable me to get into the study) was that I would keep it exceptionally tidy - that is gonna be hard!

You should be so proud of yourself - your studio is fantastic......and I just love what you've done with your vent system, fitting it into the desk.
And, I hope you (and Julie) don't mind, but I'm now going to go look and see if I can do the same with my vent system.

Brilliant studio!!

I'm just envious.

Hi Steph - you have done a fantastic job on your work area.

I took a wonderful course with Redhot Sal but have yet to make a decision even on what torch to get! I have a space in my garage which I am planning to convert and seeing what you have done has really inspired me to get my act together!

What is the total length of your work top? I really like the two work areas you have but I'm not quite sure I have the space. Now, going to research the ventilation you have - must have missed that discussion.

Fantastic!

I have to start campaigning for a move to a larger house.

Dee Dee · August 08, 2011, 10:19:06 AM

Thanks - used properly today with no interruptions - luvverly!

Sue, the length of the worktop is 2.7 metres and it is 85cm wide. The ventilation pipe runs behind the base cabinets attached to the worktop.

I have had to give myself a talking to though, to make sure that I don't reach to the back to get something off the little shelves whilst my torch is on! I have put things I don't use very often in direct line with the torch!

Glassy Lou · August 08, 2011, 03:27:34 PM

Oh my! What a wonderful space. Certainly puts my dingy little workspace to shame!
I wonder how long it will be that tidy for...
