While the second floor of my kura barn is well documented as a mixed media arts and craft studio, this first floor is getting rearranged to be more of a well, family style mixed media arts and craft hang out with musical instruments, record player, more books, records and CDs, as well as emergency/camping supplies, storage of tea ceremony equipment, extra supplies for pickling/fermenting, and other seasonal storage.
Here is my very important plan detailing the intentions and schematics:
will be multi-purpose arts and crafts (washi, kintsugi, shodo etc) and music making hangout space – stays relatively cool in summer. plus also storage for Ryoko’s tea ceremony items, emergency/picnic/travel supplies and my fantastically massive and impeccably organized file cabinet – took out the files, put it up on casters/pallet and put back files+ repaired floor and wall. spare dishes and kitchen accessories also now have a home, some oversized reference books and odds-ends records will go here too. have further evidence if curious
UPDATE: coming along well! i’ll share a snap but the stereo is mostly working, the messes are tidied (except for the big pile of extra heaters to consider jettisoning), and shelves filling up with items. More to go but hey, we’re on the way.
UPDATE: panorama of hangout
