The Dowdy Studio Wagon - Part II

Since our last post about the Wagon, we've been getting our paint on, and doing some fancy things like installing fine flooring and finishes. Here's a shot from the back side. As you can see we have primed walls!!! Oh yeah...primed walls baby!

After priming the walls, we realized that all those paint fumes in a tight small space is apparently not the best for making logically coherent or sane sentences. We both experienced bursts of looniness that probably would scare away any proper person.

Excerpts from our painting fumed delirium:

Dylan - "Do people playing the Wii ever say that they are going to wiiiii all over the living room?" followed by unstoppable giggles.

Pamela - "These paint brushes are so soft. They should take lots of these brushes and tie them together make even bigger brushes, that you can lay on and take a nap."

So we decided it was probably time to open the doors and window. After a bit of airing out, we stained the doors a nice medium brown to give it some nice color and protect it from wear and tear.
To spruce up the flooring, we found these faux wood tiles, that really made the room glow!

With a splash of on of our favorite colors, green, and some final trimmings, we called it done for the day. We've got a bit of a ways to go, but we're almost there. We'll be posting more pics and showing you what we're up to with it. Hope you like it! We can't wait to show you in person! yay!

Give a warm welcome to the Dowdy Studio Wagon


Hey guys!

We're cranking away here in Dowdy Studio land getting ready for our upcoming shows and events, and we are more than excited to announce the beginnings of our new mobile concept shop, that we have dubbed the "Wagon" for now.

The Wagon is a big black 72 sqft space that is basically a huge blank canvas for us to make into our own special space. This past weekend we spent two beautiful 75 degree days out in our backyard priming and painting the interior.

We didn't get much help from our furry friend, Lulu. She was more focused on managing the project than actually getting her fur dirty. You can see in the picture above her carefully inspecting Dylan's paint job. Below, she is making sure Pamela's masking tape is up to code. Yah, we didn't know masking had to be up to code either!! Glad she was there to help.


Overall, I think Lulu approves of our project. We can't wait to finish and show you guys what we've done. We're also excited to let you know where our shop will be and how you can find us.

Cheers!
-Pamela + Dylan (and Lulu)
