Thanks, everyone, for the nice comments. I do feel pretty lucky to be able to live here. Although living in the heart of Wine Country I have never been wine tasting. I guess that's the Sonoma County that the tourists experience. Maybe next year I'll have a Gathering party and we can all go wine-tasting together. So plan on a couple extra days for your travel plans!-Oakland's not too far away!
I haven't updated lately because nothing was happening with the studio...I was basically waiting for the concrete to cure. It seemed like it took forever. So in the meantime I managed to sweet-talk my Dear Old Dad and my landlords into doing a permanent acid stain on the concrete. We finished the stain yesterday and Dear Old Dad is going to come by on Tuesday to seal the finish. It looks beautiful!
I took lots of photos to document the concrete stain process.
Before we started:
Sweeping up leaves with BB:
Christian cut down my houseplants
This is where the torches will go!
Starting the Stain
Halfway there!

My corner is the prettiest part of the shop! IMHO!
Waiting for it to dry
I need to get pictures now that it's dry, before we seal it. But that will have to be tomorrow!
Have a great evening!
