Some of you have asked about my movable walls. I got this idea from
Melinda Tidwell, whose work I adore. She has a new website that is the inspiration for the re-design of my
gallery site. THANKS, Melinda!
You start with
wire shelving racks, which I actually got on Amazon. I got the ones that are 48" wide, 72" high, and 18" deep, WITH casters (wheels).
 |
| These are easy to assemble if you have two people working on it. |
 |
| Then you fasten a partial sheet of homosote, which is a sheet of material that is similar to drywall, but much more porous, easy to stick push pins into. It comes in 4'x8' sheets. I used one sheet and used a 4'x4' piece on each wall. I primed both sides before mounting. |
 |
| Here is the second movable wall. I did not tack paper over the lower part, as I did in the other one, so you can see how easily you have access to shelves beneath. I used bolts and large washers to attach the homosote to the shelving unit. |
 |
| Each unit has five big, deep shelves. |
 |
| A view of the other side. |
Two of these units plus a large easel are plenty for me. As you can see, my studio has knee walls and slanted ceiling, so wall space is limited. Hope this explains adequately.
