Progress has been gradual within the studio this week, however I really feel like issues are about to start out taking place! My major purpose this weekend is to get the resin petri wall completed. I confirmed y’all my plan for this wall subsequent to my desk earlier this week (you possibly can learn the small print right here), however my unique plan was to make use of 5″ x 5″ gallery wrapped canvases. Properly, with the intention to have sufficient for my artwork set up (it makes me really feel vital to name it an “artwork set up” 😀 ), the canvases would value me about $190.
I don’t suppose that’s a horrible value for one thing that’s going to have such an enormous, colourful influence within the room, however I additionally wasn’t fully offered on how the canvases seemed. They seemed a bit too thick for my style, so I went seeking one thing else that may work. I actually needed to keep away from having to DIY 45 frames if I might.
And I believe that these are going to look nice! I’m going to color all of them white earlier than I mount the resin discs on them.
You may see how good this thickness is. It’s about half the thickness of the wrapped canvases, however with the added thickness of the resin disc, I believe it’s excellent.
Right here’s a have a look at the 2 facet by facet. I additionally just like the cleaner look of the wooden over the not-so-perfect look of the canvas-wrapped corners.
So now that I’ve the whole lot I would like for that challenge, my major purpose this weekend is to get that wall completed, which additionally contains getting the trim (baseboards) caulked and painted.
But additionally, one other very thrilling package deal is arriving at present for the large, clean wall, and I’m so enthusiastic about it! So I’m hoping that I could make some progress on that wall as properly.
In case you’ll keep in mind, I had our panorama design plan printed some time again in order that I might body it and dangle it within the studio.
After I had that printed, I made a decision that I needed to have it reprinted to incorporate the plant key on the facet. So the brand new design would appear like this…
However earlier than I might have it printed once more, a really type and beneficiant reader contacted me and mentioned that she might have it printed for me at her work, and he or she had the potential to print it actually large! In fact, that intrigued me, however I couldn’t consider the place to place a extremely large print like that.
So it took some time, and some backwards and forwards electronic mail exchanges, however I lastly got here up with a plan. She had it printed 52″W x 78″H, and it’s arriving at present! I’m so unbelievably enthusiastic about it. I can’t wait to see it, after which I’ll want to determine learn how to mount it, body it, and dangle it on the wall. However right here’s the general plan for the large, clean wall now.
Due to the position of the outlet and the dimensions of the large calendar, the panorama design will go on the left facet of the wall. It’s the right area for it. After which the calendar will go on the appropriate facet. That can nonetheless go away loads of room for the TV (y’all satisfied me to maintain a TV within the plan for the wall), after which I’ll add some quite simple cabinets beneath the TV. I’ve three completely different concepts for the cabinets. They received’t actually be show cabinets like those within the breakfast room the place I’ve displayed colourful paintings. They’ll be extra utilitarian, however the finish consequence can be a number of coloration. However I’ll wait to share these particulars when it’s completed. I’m excited to see how a lot I can get performed this weekend!
