Relating to 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 ad infinitum. However after I ended working final night time, I took a while to take stock of what I nonetheless should do, and I’m really making progress. I’m so able to be performed 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.
After I discuss ending this room, I’m not together with the studio rest room. That will likely be a separate undertaking, and I do plan to work on that as quickly because the studio is completed. However there’s no approach I can get the studio and the lavatory performed by the tip of this month. That a lot I now for positive. However I do suppose it’s attainable that I can get the studio completed by the tip of the month.
During the last couple of labor days, I’ve been attempting to get the remainder of the ceiling painted. It’s a a lot larger job than I had anticipated, even with the scaffolding. I needed to do fairly a little bit of cleansing and rearranging earlier than I might get began, and I’m nonetheless having to work round a variety of huge gadgets. Up to now, I’ve a lot 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 likely be a breeze. This ceiling is a bear, although. I got here *this shut* to hiring it out, however I assume I simply wanted to show to myself that I might do it.
I even have some trim to complete — baseboards and door casing round two doorways. The door to the proper of the workplace space cupboards (which is presently coated up) nonetheless must be trimmed out, and people areas nonetheless want baseboards.

The cupboards within the workplace nook of the studio are completed for essentially the most half, however there are nonetheless some ending particulars that want consideration. I would like 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 alternative 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 shops that should be put in inside the cupboards.
I even have two shops that should be put in on the opposite aspect of the room, after which there’s the ornamental stuff. I’m nonetheless attempting 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 doing a little 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 reduce 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 up to now…

…so that’s going to be a really time-consuming undertaking. However fairly truthfully, I like these sorts of initiatives. Possibly I’ll sit outdoors and sand spoons on Monday in the course of the eclipse. There will likely 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 who can simply sit nonetheless for two hours and 40 minutes with nothing to do. 😀
I’m positive there will likely be another little initiatives that I’m not pondering of proper now. In reality, I’m positive the ground will want some touchups, and a few cupboard doorways and drawers will want some readjusting. I’m positive there will likely be different issues.
So right here’s the punch checklist:
- 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;
