Building a Recording Studio

I am building a recording studio in an out building I have. It used to be the previous owners workshop. Needless to say it was very dirty and some of the elements have gotten in.

The ceiling before I scrapped it was old nasty popcorn ceiling . I had to spray it with a copious amounts of water literally from the garden hose so it would be less dusty. This was by far the worst part.

The walls were mint green. It is possible when then old owner picked this color he asked for the color of his favorite ice cream . Ugggg! It had a lot of damage to it and I had to prime them twice and patch a ton. Seems like never ending patch work. I am guessing this hasn’t been updated since the 70’s. I think I still hear The Bay City Rollers playing in the there somtimes:) It’s Saturday Night Everynight!

The colors I chose is a navy blue and a light grey. Something chill and relaxing. Hey! Just like me!

This is the first coat. I will have to tape and then fix the mess ups and then put hopefully a final coat on it

My plan for the floor is to stain the concrete and give it an industrial feel. Not sure what color yet but maybe a rustic orange. Something similar to below.

I will document the progress as I do more work. It’s really a dream come true and I am excited to start giving guitar and pro audio lessons, while also having a fully functional recording studio.
