Redressing the Room

Redressing the Room

First on the list is the room itself; ten years of scuffs, dents, scrapes, and settling had left their bitter trail of tears upon the walls. A long-overdue appointment with Dr. Bukkit O'Mudd and his handy taping blade was the just the ticket to Structural Healin' (c'mon c'mon c'mon - let's blade mud tonite). Sing along - y'all know the words.

It was also time to update the timbre of the room. Whilst the new color scheme is very similar to the previous coolish-yet-strangely-warmish-gray ensemble, we've now incorporated just a splash more lilac into the landscape - a little more soothing and inviting, yet still subtly complimentary to the lovelerly montage of industrial grays and blacks of the myriad workstations and equipment.

The corners got some serious mud work.

Walls are painted here - trim work still needs to be finished. Note the hint of lilac - ooohhhh...ahhhhh
Now where's my herbal tea? Somewhere under that freaking pile of $%&*@# I'll bet.

Cutting in the trim. I'm known all throughout the studio and at the neighbor's pool table
as The Cutmaster.

Replacing the acoustic treatment panels.

New plantation blinds finish off the bay windows.

The Iso booth had serious crackage in the corners. Self-adhesive joint tape is the bomb!

Three coats of joint compound later - and ready to paint. The wall anchors are for the acoustic tiles.

The finished iso booth - ready for action! For info about the Auralex ATOM-12 trihedral corner treatments, check out the Taming the Iso Booth page.
