Over the past couple of labor days, I’ve been making an attempt 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 may get began, and I’m nonetheless having to work round a variety of massive objects. To date, 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.

I even have some trim to complete — baseboards and door casing round two doorways. The door to the suitable of the workplace space cupboards (which is at present 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 should be painted.

The bases on my two work tables should be painted. They’re going from this brilliant 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 essentially the most half, however there are nonetheless some ending particulars that want consideration. I want to put in all the 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 retailers that should be put in inside the cupboards.

And at last, I must make the pendant gentle 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 lower the handles off of all 1300 wooden tasting spoons.

However now each single a kind 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 kinds of initiatives. Possibly I’ll sit exterior and sand spoons on Monday in the course of the eclipse. There can 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. 😀
