Feels like we've been prepping and painting forever, but it's really only been 2 weeks in earnest, I think. David spent a lot of time leveling the concrete floor, filling holes, removing funky existing wires or pipes wherever he could.
The wall where the frame corners used to be? A nice smooth plaster base, after several days of layering and sanding, is ready to paint.
And Laura, our gallery intern with a great eye for color, did a fabulous job of matching the mottled, ragged walls of the past. You'd be hard pressed to find where the old stopped and the new started!
At the back of the gallery you catch a glimpse of my new studio...
with eggplant walls and white trim and soffit. David admitted to giving me a hard time about the color, but followed by saying, "I know by now I should just trust you with such things, it looks great!" Now I'm eager to get the dust and dirt cleaned up and settle in, but there is still a wall of shelving to build.
Monday morning the Sollenberger Painting crew, led by Kurt, started priming and rolling the floor.
Wednesday morning, I came down the the sun shining in across our newly painted floors, and the carpets were delivered last night. We've been working ever since to clean up, finish the detailing, and started laying carpets this morning. The day was busy with Christmas framing customers, so updated photos will have to wait. More to come!
