... then I realised I had gotten carried away ...
... and then I realised that to do the whole wall would take hours and hours, so I stopped! But, I'm a bit of a sucker for original charm, so I came up with a way to "preserve" the bare brick look and have a bit of colour on the wall ...
I have some mdf letters that spell "Yardage Design" that I'm going to paint and arrange in the brick circle. I haven't had time to paint the pipe yet (although it looks OK in white now the wall is painted - no?), but I'm still thinking I might paint it bright red like the bargain ebay cane chairs I got a few weeks ago ...
These babies are waiting to show-off some handprinted fabric on the cushions! I'm really looking forward to my screens arriving tomorrow - it will be a big moment for me.
I just thought I'd add that the last remaining studio spaces here at Ironside have just been released, so if you're in Melbourne and looking for a studio, contact Laura at Ironside Studios.
For more creative spaces, or to join in, don't forget to visit Kootoyoo.

Wowee that looks amazing. What a lovely shade of green - I agree with painting the pipe fire engine red to make a feature of it. At least the paint will dry quickly at the moment!
Oh Nic, it's just so exciting. It wont be long before you're all set up and ready to go. Keeping a bit of the bare brick was a great idea and will be the perfect place for your sign.
The pipe looks great white against the red! Looking good so far!
Love the wall - I love original charm too - the circle is fabulous - yes paint the pipe - mmmm red? another shade of green?
I think that wall is the best - it looks amazing. Your space is going to be fabulous.
it's coming together beautifully. love watching your progress. and renovating anything should be a strictly spectator sport i say

Nic, that is amazing, I love the quick fix, looks well designed.
how very exciting, what a great creative space. i like the pipe, red would be fantastic.
this is looking awesome. I got all excited when you linked the studio info but then I was sad because it was so far away. You are a lucky gal! looking great so far.
Sigh, a studio... Nic I will just have to live vicariously through you as you decorate and do all the rest. Love where you're going. And I love the exposed brick!
Great green! Love the look of the chairs. Gee, it's all coming along isn't it? Almost there! xo
oh, that looks and sounds so exciting! good luck with it all, can't wait to see the screens! :)
I feel soooo excited for you what a wonderful space to have
Oh my goodness! It's such a fantastic look, that wall! And I love the chairs and how your space is coming together - very inspiring!
I love the bare brick feature, very inspired. It's like on with the new but don't forget the old. Noticed the book Printing by Hand on your page mine just arrived in the mail yesterday, happy, happy, joy, joy!
It looks amazing Nic. Love the idea of the circle on the wall to expose the brick, exposing the past and enjoying the texture. Good luck, keep those photos coming.
haha... oops! I like the finished product with the Playschool circlular window type of look :) Liking seeing the progress of your new studio.
late coming over to check this out, sorry, but I am really loving the old bricks peeking through. What a fab space!
That red brick circle has come up really well. I am sure whatever you decide for the old pipe will look fantastic. It is so exciting watching this space become something fantastic.
I love it! and the chairs are a lot nice too!
excellent space! I painted my last space with a black wall...its shows off my art very well. I love your red chairs too. Well done! I think the pipe looks good white...
love the wall, and I can so see the pipe in that red!
I love this wall!!! Can't wait to see it all done
wow what a transformation already! I love the circle of bricks great idea, looks more effective than a whole wall of bricks makes it a special feature, and the chairs look ace, show more photo's when they're covered!
It looks totally amazing! You've done so much and the green is just perfect. Love the exposed circle and really looking forward to seeing the letters up etc. The pipe does look good white... maybe your letters can be the standout colour needed there? Great space :) K
I'm loving followi this space as it develops.
That green wall looks fantastic with the circle.
I...relish...the..bricks!
Oh I love the circle!!!
It is great to see how works go on!
I love seeing this come together and the inspiration you find along the way...Can't wait for more!!! It looks fab!!
How wonderful and exciting for you. A bright red pipe would look great on the green wall.
It looks just great - always good to see some the history of a room/building come through into the modern day. Me, I would love the pipe white it looks good and it sounds like you lots more to be doing (but then maybe I'm just lazy!) x
I love the bricks peeking through the green-the red too will really pop out. Fun!!
