Not all of my projects this December are code related. In fact a lot of them have been house maintenance things, joy of home ownership and all.
This week was spent building my new office and music space. I wanted a way to have my amplifiers and guitars more accessible while also creating a sort of “dark academia” sort of feeling for working.
The first step was to get the guitars mounted on the walls. I was looking for something blending artistic showpiece and functional use.
After that I quickly framed them in. Just quarter round with the hard edge inwards, 45° miter, some caulking, easy peasy.
My last office had Hale Navy as the color, but the sheen was too much that it made it difficult to actually see the color. This time I went flat and color drenched the space (so ceilings, trim, etc all in matching tone).
Then somewhat final result is here. I still want to have a lighting story for these that doesn’t involve a battery so some electrical fish taping is likely in my future.
I also converted the wide closet into a workstation area with the studio monitors for recording. But that is still partially finished as I need to plane all the slats for the slat wall, frame the builtin, and attach the countertop.
