Sketch a day- day 6 |
I was busy today updating my computer with the next mac version and then trying to get back photos from when my computer died... I think my daughter's sweet 16 photos are gone... going to try to snipe a photo or two from people who were there.
My sketch today is something I do naturally and often. It is a sketch of my bedroom floorpan. It is a stupid room. The most obvious place for a bed, between two windows is under a vent and right next to the bathroom. I don't like that. There is a huge sitting area with a slated ceiling like a huge dormer. My bed is there now, top photo, but I have been bored with it.
The biggest problem is where the cable jack is is also stupid... on the wall behind the couch in the upper photo and so I can't really see that from anywhere that it makes sense to put the bed.
It is an enormous room really, just poorly planned. The people across the street actually took half the area where we put the bed and but a wall creating an extra closet (for him) leaving only a little bump out on the side for two chairs.. it does look nice, but once again, I don't want to hear every time hubby flushes the toilet from my bed. I guess I could have bigger problems though.
The lower photo is how I am thinking about changing it... putting the desk armoire in my bedroom and the couch in front of the TV... but we do like to watch tv in bed, so there's that dilemma.
This is a very messy sketch, but in it is my biggest strength. I have a great grasp of scale. I can look at a piece of furniture and know it is going to fit in a room... i don't even need a measuring tape. I just know. I can draw a room to scale without graph paper, and still get it right. I have a similar skill for color.... I can look at a sofa, go to the store and bring back coordinating fabric without a swatch. I still gladly do floorplans for friends with decorating dilemma's and help pick fabric, but my own bedroom has me stymied.
Yes, I did do interior design work in a former life... when we lived in New Orleans, and also the year following that when I was just outside of NY, waiting for my husband to change jobs because I kept getting sick in New Orleans.
I gave that up to do murals, (I still do on occasion, about one a year) but also slowly gave that up when I started homeschooling. I began writing about decorating for websites which did very well for a while, I even had a homeschooling column or two, but citizen journalism died hard... and now I have come full circle, trying to find my artistic fit. I could go back to decorating, but I don't really feel called to it... it just comes naturally. I am ready for the art gallery in my heart.
