In terms of the my studio, I’m beginning to really feel like I’m trapped in Groundhog Day, repeating the identical work day after day after day with just some slight variations and for ever and ever. However after I ended working final night time, I took a while to take stock of what I nonetheless must do, and I’m truly making progress. I’m so able to be carried out with this room! There’s nonetheless fairly a bit to do, however I’m going to make each effort to have this room completed by the tip of this month in order that I can transfer on.
Once I speak about ending this room, I’m not together with the studio rest room. That will probably be a separate venture, and I do plan to work on that as quickly because the studio is completed. However there’s no method I can get the studio and the toilet carried out by the tip of this month. That a lot I now for certain. However I do assume it’s doable that I can get the studio completed by the tip of the month.
During the last couple of labor days, I’ve been making an attempt to get the remainder of the ceiling painted. It’s a a lot greater job than I had anticipated, even with the scaffolding. I needed to do fairly a little bit of cleansing and rearranging earlier than I may get began, and I’m nonetheless having to work round quite a lot of large objects. Up to now, I’ve many of the ceiling painted, with simply this strip of blue ceiling on the mural aspect of the room that also must be painted.
As soon as I get the ceiling completed, portray the remainder of the partitions will probably be a breeze. This ceiling is a bear, although. I got here *this shut* to hiring it out, however I suppose I simply wanted to show to myself that I may do it.
I even have some trim to complete — baseboards and door casing round two doorways. The door to the correct of the workplace space cupboards (which is at the moment lined up) nonetheless must be trimmed out, and people areas nonetheless want baseboards.
After which the lengthy empty wall has a door that also must be trimmed out, and it additionally wants baseboards.
After which each of these doorways have to be painted.
The bases on my two work tables have to be painted. They’re going from this shiny inexperienced to eggplant.
After which my desk wants a makeover, the black on the paint swatch cupboard must be painted white, and my desk chair must be reupholstered.
The cupboards within the workplace nook of the studio are completed for probably the most half, however there are nonetheless some ending particulars that want consideration. I want to put in the entire door knobs and drawer pulls, and set up the window shade. I’m nonetheless ready for the window shade to be delivered, and I already know that the corporate forgot to chop the shade to my customized dimensions. However evidently, they received’t do a substitute order till I obtain the primary one and confirm that it received’t match. *Sigh*
And naturally, I nonetheless must decide about what to do with the wall across the home windows and the backs of the cubbies. No matter that call, I nonetheless want so as to add lights to the cubbies and end {the electrical} stuff. I nonetheless have 4 electrical retailers that have to be put in inside the cupboards.
I even have two retailers that have to be put in on the opposite aspect of the room, after which there’s the ornamental stuff. I’m nonetheless making an attempt to work out in my thoughts how I need to deal with the lengthy, clean wall, however I believe my plan is coming collectively. After which I must print and body the panorama design to go on the wall subsequent to my desk.
And eventually, I must make the pendant mild to go above my desk. I’ve already gotten began on that. After performing some figuring, I made up my mind that the sunshine would require 1300 tasting spoons (that’s 500 more than the gradient pinwheel artwork required!), so I’ve already lower the handles off of all 1300 wooden tasting spoons.
However now each single a type of needs to be sanded and formed in order that it’s not apparent that they used to have handles. I’ve solely sanded this many to date…
…so that’s going to be a really time-consuming venture. However fairly actually, I like these varieties of initiatives. Possibly I’ll sit outdoors and sand spoons on Monday through the eclipse. There will probably be 2 hours and 40 minutes from first contact to final contact. I don’t need to miss it, however I’m additionally not the sort of one that can simply sit nonetheless for two hours and 40 minutes with nothing to do. 😀
I’m certain there will probably be another little initiatives that I’m not considering of proper now. The truth is, I’m certain the ground will want some touchups, and a few cupboard doorways and drawers will want some readjusting. I’m certain there will probably be different issues.
So right here’s the punch listing:
- End portray the ceiling and partitions;
- Set up and paint baseboards;
- Set up and paint door casings on two doorways;
- Paint two doorways;
- Paint bases on work tables;
- Paint desk and add two drawers;

Every particular person factor appears so easy, however seeing the entire listing makes me surprise if there’s truly any doable method I can get it carried out by the tip of the month. I’ll give it my finest shot, although! I’m so able to be carried out with this room and transfer on!
