Well, I’ve finally got my furniture moved around. It helped enormously that some university students found my Craigslist ad for my old desk and picked that up for $25. I also sold them the Couch From Hell, my 200 lbs of pull out bed from the 70s. That was a bonus, because I didn’t know how I was going to get rid of that thing!
Now, my studio space feels spacious. My living room is slightly cozy, but I still haven’t figured out how to arrange my furniture in there. It’ll do for now though.
The next step is to paint. That begins next week. After that, new floors. I have almost decided to pay someone to do the floor installation for me. It’s a big job and there are lots of things that can go wrong with it, so allowing the pros to do it will get it done quickly and let me get back to work faster.
As for paint, I did a Photoshop mockup of the colors. I’ll be using a light cream color and a chocolate brown. I am still deciding if I would like to have some accent walls in blue. What do you think?
oooh looks so weird with everything reversed!
I really like the blue wall. Great idea with the photoshop mockuping 🙂
yea it’s like a whole new place now! i can’t wait to see it with the new colors and floor 🙂
i like the blue,
its a very calming colour, which might be good for an office,
i would definatley pay someone to do the floors,
i did all mine myself and i really wish i hadn’t,
especially in a house where none of the walls are straight,
ahh good point. the walls in this building are notoriously not straight, so i think i can save myself a potential headache by getting someone else to deal with it 😛
what about painting the inside rim of the window blue?
personally, i like the brown more 😛 but i can’t remember how the rest of your place is in terms of color, so maybe that place for the blue is good.
basically all the parts that are red now are going to become brown. 🙂
Ajust your monitors, people! That’s more turquoise than blue.
If it was blue like the G in google, then I’d vote for a combination of brown and that.
The turquoise, though…ehhh a bit too bright. I wouldnt be surprised if you got tired of it in less than a year.
The ‘blue’ is ok, but I think the brown is better. Your place can pull it off easily because you have the high ceilings and a lot of light. I know after awhile I’d get sick of the ‘blue’ … but it’s your place bud!
I like the blue, it’s summer!
I vote brown – the blue is nice, but it’s such a bright blue that I’d imagine it wouldn’t work well with other blues (like your chair)?
