Creating the dream studio
It has been awhile since I added a new post. I have mostly been adding pictures of the new paintings as I made them in my 12x12 series.
They were not the only things I have been working on.
I have decided to create my dream studio. First, i created a vision and decided that this room will do nicely. As you can see in the picture, it is dark. Dark red and yellow trim. It felt more like a cave then a place of inspiration.
Some natural light does come through, but not much. So i rolled up my sleeves and stared the work.
There was a lot of wall repair. and sanding.
The room was a mess. It felt like i was never going to finish the prep work. I don't know about you , but i hate sanding and filling.
I was so excited when it was time to paint that i totally forgot to take pictures of the trim being done. 3 coats of white. I used Dulux white on white paint. OMG i love that white and i am so happy with the results.
So off to the races. Painting walls and cutting in all the areas i can't roll.
Yipee !
Two coats later and my room is finished. what a transformation. yup, i have a massive grin on my face. Again i used Dulux paint. This blue feels amazing.
Oh yes, my little buddy checking the progress. As you can see i primed an electric fireplace. It use to be a dark cherry red. my mom gave it to me. I wanted it to feel as if it were part of the room. i painted it, the same color as the trim.
I wanted a feature, piece of furniture. This puppy was perfect. i do love having a fireplace in my studio.
At last. Let the fun begin. I can start moving myself in.
Moving into my dream studio.
It's a happy day.
