Progress has been sluggish within the studio this week, however I really feel like issues are about to start out occurring! My predominant purpose 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, with the intention to have sufficient for my artwork set up (it makes me really feel necessary 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 regarded. They regarded a bit too thick for my style, so I went seeking one thing else that may work. I actually needed to keep away from having to DIY 45 frames if I may.
And I feel 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 possibly can 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 feel it’s good.
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 part I would like for that venture, my predominant purpose this weekend is to get that wall completed, which additionally contains getting the trim (baseboards) caulked and painted.
But additionally, one other very thrilling package deal is arriving in the present day 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.
When you’ll bear in mind, I had our panorama design plan printed some time again in order that I may body it and grasp 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 to be this…
However earlier than I may have it printed once more, a really form and beneficiant reader contacted me and stated that she may have it printed for me at her work, and she or he had the potential to print it actually huge! After all, that intrigued me, however I couldn’t consider the place to place a very huge print like that.
So it took some time, and some forwards and backwards e-mail exchanges, however I lastly got here up with a plan. She had it printed 52″W x 78″H, and it’s arriving in the present day! I’m so unbelievably enthusiastic about it. I can’t wait to see it, after which I’ll want to determine how you can mount it, body it, and grasp 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 scale of the large calendar, the panorama design will go on the left aspect of the wall. It’s the proper house for it. After which the calendar will go on the proper aspect. That may nonetheless depart 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 below 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 art work. They’ll be extra utilitarian, however the finish end result shall 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!
