Progress has been gradual within the studio this week, however I really feel like issues are about to start out occurring! My major aim 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 can read the details here), however my unique plan was to make use of 5″ x 5″ gallery wrapped canvases. Properly, to be able 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 assume that’s a horrible value for one thing that’s going to have such a giant, colourful impression within the room, however I additionally wasn’t utterly bought on how the canvases seemed. They seemed a bit too thick for my style, so I went in quest of 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’ll be able to 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 take a look at the 2 aspect by aspect. 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 every thing I would like for that venture, my major aim this weekend is to get that wall completed, which additionally contains getting the trim (baseboards) caulked and painted.
But in addition, one other very thrilling bundle is arriving at the moment 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 effectively.
In the event 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 aspect. 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 huge! After all, that intrigued me, however I couldn’t consider the place to place a extremely huge 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 the moment! I’m so unbelievably enthusiastic about it. I can’t wait to see it, after which I’ll want to determine the best way 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 aspect of the wall. It’s the proper area for it. After which the calendar will go on the precise aspect. That may 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 underneath 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 outcome might be a lot of shade. However I’ll wait to share these particulars when it’s completed. I’m excited to see how a lot I can get carried out this weekend!
