Another studio progress update
Coming along!
I finished painting the boudoir room … (photos from August 11)




I love Kijiji! I picked up this antique French provincial couch and chair for the meeting room in Lloydminster the other day.

Main door, sanded and filled and ready for priming!

Studio room, in the midst of drywall repair. There are hundreds of spots where the top coat of paint has peeled off the layer below it (a good example of why you don’t paint over a high-gloss paint without sanding it first), so each spot gets hit with the palm sander. Then there’s all the areas where the original drywall job was done incorrectly, all the spots where the nails used to hang the drywall are coming out …. so yeah, a lot of drywall repair!




Meeting room … possibly the room that will be requiring the most work! The paint in this room is chipping/flaking/peeling on most of the surfaces, probably because of temperature fluctuations from the wood stove back when it was still in use, and of course, from age. There will be a lot of sanding in this room! I am planning on putting a textured paintable wallpaper on the top portion of the wall, repainting the wainscotting and painting the ceiling. If you notice a cat in some of the photos – there’s also a litter of kittens and their momma in here – 13 days old today! The momma cat catches any mice that come in through the open windows and under the door, which still needs weather stripping. She’s a great mouser.
