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 intently on the ground. 😀 It wants a very good scrubbing, however I had a chilly yesterday and was fully drained of vitality, so I solely gave it a half-hearted effort. The remainder should wait. I additionally didn’t have the vitality to get issues organized within the carport, so that you’ll must see my instruments and work tables by the doorways. However aside from that, it’s completed!
That is the second time this again entry has been “completed”, and I hope it’ll be the final for a very good, lengthy whereas. The primary look was this Kelly inexperienced, black, and white look that I did again in 2019…
I favored that look, and it was enjoyable to place collectively, however after I began engaged on the studio once more final yr, that again entry seemed manner too harsh to me. I needed a softer, extra female look to go together with the brand new, bigger floral mural and pink and gold cupboards on the opposite facet 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 manner again to the very starting. My studio was our storage, and the world that’s at the moment the again entry, with the studio half rest room on one facet, and the storage closet on the opposite facet, 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 seemed like this to the left. That’s the world that’s now the half rest room. However you can even see how low the unique ceiling was on this space. That again wall on the proper, the place the French doorways at the moment are, wasn’t even eight toes excessive.
So when the unique framing was completed 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 take care of the low roof/ceiling that hardly cleared the highest of the French doorways.
Once we determined so as to add a carport to the again, that made it attainable to lift the ceiling due to how the carport tied into the unique roof. So now, the again entry has this excellent, tall ceiling.
After which in 2019, the view of the facet of the again entry with the half rest room become this…
And now that view appears like this…
The opposite facet, with the door to the storage closet, seemed like this…
And now that view appears like this…
I really like the softer and extra female look of the “new” again entry! I favored 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 way more me.
