The Jensen Studio

My family has been working on a dedicated music room for months, and it’s finished now!

It’s great for practicing instruments, recording, and doing homework. Dad is really happy to have his office back, too. (All of the music gear used to be in his home office. It took up about half the room, spilling cables across the other half!) I should make it clear that this isn’t “Andrew’s studio” or “Nick’s studio,” it’s the family music room. We all get to share it. It just happens to be really great for recording music in.

We framed and insulated the room ourselves, then hired help to finish the room. We added extra precautions to make the room partially sound-proof, cutting down the noise the room lets through to the rest of the house. The painting and electrical work was finished just last month.

In the final picture, you can see the one major “compromise” in the room. Mom and Dad wanted the family treadmill moved out of their bedroom, and rightly so. It now lives in the studio. Nick and I joke that it’s good for marching practice.

I’m working on a new blog theme that matches the studio! I plan to finish it and put it on the site by next week.
