I was sad that it took 6 days for this video to make it to my feed, then I realised I wasn't subscribed. Really shows how important that is. Anyway, I've been loving this series (I've been living vicariously through you as I dream of my future studio). The studio people see on instagram is a corner of my livingroom lol. @thevictoriagallery
Yet the olive green was indeed delicious. My pick of the bunch (I must be going through my “green phase” of my life à la Picasso ‘Blue Phase’ but vert). But your final pick of the Boudreaux burgundy certainly is divine in its own right! For your space, however, the green and even that off-white tile appealed to me the most, personally anyway. But who am I to contradict?! Either way I think your studio will be oh soooo cuutteee, Issey!! The lime plaster is top notch, magnifique 👌🏾 I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your episodes ✨🩵🤍 ‘spechly numéro trois (oui, oui, I am French speaking too. But Congolese born Aussie bred, formerly Belgium Democratic of Congo).
I think you’re onto something with the green though. I’ve been thinking of painting the washroom door green, and maybe even the entire inside of the washroom? I’m not entirely sure yet, I’ll have to sit on it for a while. I’ll probably talk more about it in the next video! Et merci pour les commentaires trop gentils, ça fait trop plaisir 🥰🥰
Wow, it’s looking really good. It seems that you clearly know your style and how you want everything. I’m really keen on your decisions, and I can’t wait to finally go and have a look. ✨✨
As a person who is also in the process of designing a home, thank you so much for sharing your ideas, reasoning and process. 💛 I was wondering if you checked the New Terracotta tiles? They’re a Portuguese company and they have a huge variety of shapes and colors, and some of their finishings seem to be in line with the creative direction of your space. They can also do custom tiles. Excited to see how your studio is going to look like when it’s done!
love the handmade tiles you went with! my fave was the dull red you didn't like the sheen of and i feel like the handmade one has the color but gives the shine you wanted. :-) the outdoor space... so nice. this space is turning out very thoughtful.
Oh wow, I love the colour of the walls. You made a good choice in bringing the tone down a little, and great application. Fantastic job all around. Can't wait to see more of your videos.
I really love the approach you’re taking with renovating your studio! It feels very authentic especially with using old and natural materials/techniques like the lime plaster that feel very aligned with the history and the purpose of the space. It’s turning out really beautifully💕💕
I love love love this series!!! I just graduated from the Royal College of Art in London and am thinking about moving to Barcelona- a studio makeover like this would be the absolute dream 😍😍
Love this series of Reno ! ☺️ team green tiles btw!! This olive green is really « sheer », really pretty ! it’ll bring a bit of contrast amongst all the warm color of the studio !
I wanna skip to the end of this series so BADLY 😩the whole space is coming together so nicely and im hecking excited to see you work in it! ... AND I NEED TO SEE THIS KILN
commenting before the video is even over because i’m so excited for you and i think the pigmented lime-wash and those stripey bricks look so so so amazing in this space!!
Yes!!! So so glad you went through with the lime plaster! The walls are divine!! Love the colour and the soft, warm glow that emanates from them. Your studio is coming along beautifully! <3
Loving the series. What a fabulous studio. Having watched all your previous studio tours I’m thrilled for you👏👏👏Could you tell us more about your plans for the studio?Will it be a solo space or a more cooperative space? And why Spain?
Love all the inspiration! I agree modular is probably ideal just to give you flexibility in the future. Also another good website to check is divisare, they do architecture but also you can see finishes and such inside. They have spaces from all over the world.
Ola , from my pov, you need create a big shelves on the main wall for your ceramics (example : Amahare shop and KIHARA shop for example or to get an idea ) and create some open space between the main wall and another wall. create long straight bench in front of the window (entrance door area)also can be used as a place to put a plant or etc. For plant, many asian places used 1-3 big plant around the shop corner and some mini plant on the table/desk. btw I like your idea on paper light. minimal yet not so minimal. lastly, thank you for creating this kind of video 😄✌
I think a lime plastered wall(s) would look gorgeous in your space (I think the walls at 2:20 are lime plastered). Organic, natural, very good at expelling moisture and damp and it just feels gorgeous to touch! Not to mention all the natural dyes you can add to tint the plaster. Only negative is, it can be expensive and takes a long time to dry. So excited to see how your studio space turns out. It will look stunning, I'm sure of it! *edit:* You mentioned experimenting with lime plaster walls, later on in the video. I completely agree, as you've figured out by now ... 😛
The more I look into the benefits of lime plaster, the more I wonder why we don’t use it more often in spaces! I’m definitely looking into it for the studio. I’ve found it to be cheaper than paint though, I think it’s interesting you said it can be expensive. Unless lime wash paint is what’s more expensive? Glad to hear I’m not the only one into the lime plaster look! 😊😊🫶🏼
@@issey-roquet I meant expensive, as few people lime plaster these days and to properly lime plaster a wall, requires several coats and tireless preparation (stripping off all cement rendered surfaces down to the stone/brick/wood) and smoothing down the surface with a wet sponge in between coats. The labour costs would be expensive. Having said that, I most definitely believe that it's worth the money in the long run and considering you live in Span, the costs of lime plastering would most probably be cheaper than say the US, UK and other countries. Lime washing is cheaper than lime plastering, however, that to cannot be done onto surfaces that have been cement rendered. It won't adhere long. Lime washes stick nicely on porous surfaces like stone, wood and lime plastered walls. I wish you the best of luck whatever you decide, and yes.. I'm VERY much into the lime plaster look and believe it will look divine in your space and represents the nature of your business, down to the T! ❤
not sure if this is the same thing, but Laura Kampf used a clay product to finish the walls of her house :) She’s on RU-vid if you want to check it out
I like your inspiration photos. Never forget the most important function of the space: - To sell ceramics - Make the sale of them most beautiful I like the idea of modularity. It will give you possibility to change the layout of the front room monthly or seasonally. I really like aesathetic displays and think you should maximize the intrest for your storefront. With the low modular boxes for seating could be used stacked for display. Shelving in the cheese shop is sooo beautiful. the ability to change the height is so nice and could allow you to make a three shelf high square nook for a lamp or a more elaborate display in the middle of your ceramics. That kind of system could also make it possible to have a freestanding leg and add a shelf perpendicularly to the wall giving deapth and intrest to the space. It would be movable and would divide the long space into even more 'rooms'. Front for display and middle for sales or front for display and back for work depending how long way from the street you install it. it would need a sturdy base though. I like the lace idea but don't block the view from the street. you want people to see in as you are displaying ceramics. Maybe have a smaller ones on the lower parts of the large panes of glass down from the door handle.
Definitely keep the lights like they are, they make sense, it’s two different spaces and either one need a centered light (or two). But very exciting! I want to see more!
I like the 2+1 light placement. It delineates the space into two rooms. You can have more of a statement lighting in the front room and more utilitarian lighting in the back.
I live in Greece, where we have similar situations with ground floor / basement spaces, whereby the building's water pipes, pass through your property and even worse, 9/10 times, the building's sewer pipes are running through your property too! 🫤 Your studio space is going to look gorgeous when you finish (and YES to the thrifted door, it will look stunning).
