The again entry of the studio is formally completed! I completed the second curtain panel earlier within the week, after which completed up the paint touchups final night. Simply don’t look too carefully on the ground. ? It wants an excellent scrubbing, however I had a chilly yesterday and was fully drained of power, so I solely gave it a half-hearted effort. The remaining must wait. I additionally didn’t have the power to get issues organized within the carport, so that you’ll need to see my instruments and work tables by the doorways. However aside from that, it’s carried out!
That is the second time this again entry has been “carried out”, and I hope it’ll be the final for an excellent, lengthy whereas. The primary look was this Kelly inexperienced, black, and white look that I did again in 2019…
I appreciated that look, and it was enjoyable to place collectively, however after I began engaged on the studio once more final 12 months, that again entry appeared means too harsh to me. I wished a softer, extra female look to go along with the brand new, bigger floral mural and pink and gold cupboards on the opposite aspect of the room.
Right here’s a side-by-side take a look at the earlier look and the brand new look of the again entry.
For these of you who could also be newer round right here, let me take a minute and go means again to the very starting. My studio was once our storage, and the realm that’s presently the again entry, with the studio half lavatory on one aspect, and the storage closet on the opposite aspect, was initially this storage space by this doorway in the back of the storage.
When you stepped by that doorway into the storage space, it appeared like this to the left. That’s the realm that’s now the half lavatory. However you can too see how low the unique ceiling was on this space. That again wall on the proper, the place the French doorways are actually, wasn’t even eight toes excessive.
So when the unique framing was carried out to show the storage into my studio, there have been no plans to lift the roof in that space. I used to be ready to cope with the low roof/ceiling that hardly cleared the highest of the French doorways.
After we determined so as to add a carport to the again, that made it doable to lift the ceiling due to how the carport tied into the unique roof. So now, the again entry has this glorious, tall ceiling.
After which in 2019, the view of the aspect of the again entry with the half lavatory become this…
And now that view seems like this…
The opposite aspect, with the door to the storage closet, appeared like this…
And now that view seems like this…
I like the softer and extra female look of the “new” again entry! I appreciated the primary one, however these harsh contrasts simply didn’t work for the general look I used to be going for in my studio. The brand new one is rather more me.
