Studio Work
My work here at the schoolhouse has been more indoors, than outdoors as the weather is still very unpredictable. From my computer, I see all that is unfinished and is in need of urgent attention. The need to begin the completions of our loft studio have become very apparent.
Though fully functional, many of the final details had been left for want as Christmas ornament production kicked into gear.
So today, an iffy weather day, I embarked upon completion of one of the details - the bulletin boards.
The end wall of the design studio is an odd assortment of angles and stairs and openings to the living room below and the Rapunzel Suite* above. To tie it all together, and add our layer of personality, I’ve covered the bulletin boards with our Cortona Stripe fabric.
To begin, I attached homosote ceiling tiles to the walls with drywall screws. I chose homosote for its ease of cutting and availability at the local home improvement center.
Loads of stapling and fabric stretching, taking care to keep the stripes vertical, the fabric is finally up. A bit more trim work and it will be complete. Now I just need to decide what color I should paint the trim.
*Rapunzel Suite is the household garret guest room tucked high up above the living room
