I bought 5 and brought them home where they've been waiting for the day they would become shelves.
Then this past weekend, Bruce made the shelf unit! I told him how I wanted them to look industrial and have adjustable shelves and he took my ideas and made them reality.
They are even better than I imagined!
He took metal pipe to make the legs and then used "U" bracket thingys to hold them on. (Yep that's a technical name for them).
They screw tightly on but can be loosened so I can adjust the shelves to whatever height I need.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, he's the best! He can take my ideas and make them happen. What a blessing!
Anyway, with the shelf unit done, the studio is pretty much ready for me to move my art stuff into it. I just have to decide what I need to keep at the city house and what can come on up to the studio.
I'll leave you with images of the last two paintings I finished. It's going to be wonderful to start painting in the studio where I don't have to struggle with bad lighting.

Deleteoh, I just love the train ! Those shelves are awesome; Bruce did a great job! But with weight on the shelves, won't they slide down the pipe? Scares me!

ReplyDeleteThere is just oodles of talent in your family. I LOVE those shelves. The train painting touched my heart. I was missing my grandfather today and saw this. He was a real lover of trains.
