This project was supposed to be a surprise but, lots of craptastic things happened and well it didn't exactly go as planned.
I started of sanding the lower half of Morgans room, so I could re-stain it. Morgan and I thought we could do a very cool fade, dark at the top light at the bottom. What a pain in the ass. Screw it! I just sanded it down and put a clear coat on,it gave it kind of a col rustic look.
Then we got some 1/4" Sheetrock and put it on top and finished it off with trim at the bottom (like chair rail).
I made this stencil
Painted the upper half a light grey, and the stencil a slightly darker shade (you can barely see it).
Morgan and I put all the stuff back even though it's not quite finished. it needs crown molding and I want Shannon's input on a couple of things.
These last 2 photos my friend Phil took when he was in Ireland. He saw this shop and thought of Shannon.
I thought the other knitters and spinners would appreciate them too.
Shannon comes home tomorrow night, crap I think I need to clean a mirror.
Morgan is in the closet, is that wrong?
Morgan's room is finished (finally) and I really like how it came out. Some of our plans changed as we were working on it, and Shannon had some advice when she got home.
It was Shannon's idea to paint the trim red. I wanted to do one of the walls red, but I think this came out better.
These red skulls were Shannon's idea too. Some of the skulls on the wall are glow in the dark (that was a compromise between us) I think they look cool.
Taylor took this picture of me touching up the stencils.
This was last weekend, after Morgan got home from Great America. He was tired and not much help, but I'm not complaining. he helped a lot today.
Even the dogs are worn out. I think I'll take some time off before the next project. Wait, we don't have anything else planned do we?
