We just repainted the Motel office a soft shade of white. I think it looks good during the day. But, the real reason, is that at night, we can create all kinds of effects with colored lighting, that you would be unable to do, if the room was painted with a colored paint.
I just discovered her a couple days ago. If you search youtube for "lp live session" you should see a few videos. I think is either Or LP - Muddy Waters [Live Session] - YouTube
Current office system rack. I have a small block that I'm planning to hold the extra headshells but it's not ready yet.
I noticed your several posts of this set up and room. Have you shown an outside picture of the building before? I'd like to see. No need for insulation in the roof? Doesn't get cold there?
I found it difficult to find a colour I liked in the tan/beige spectrum. Just a suggestion, if you're looking for something warm and cozy you could go with white, and there are so many variations that you could get one that leans towards warm rather than say ice blue. Then use accessories (pictures, soft furnishings) with colours to help bring some colour and more warmth in the room. To that, add some lighting (table and floor lamps, which you appear to have already) and you could get the room you're looking for. It might sound like more work but it really isn't because trying to find the right colour can be a very long and laborious process. Much longer than finding an orange cushion, should you want orange back in your life I have to deal with smaller spaces (yours look small) and had been through a lot of colour swatches trying to find the right one. My original music room was about 13x13 and I painted it a midnight blue, which was totally awesome for a few years, but then I went grey and the room is much brighter and more inviting to use on a daily basis. The dark blue colours was great but it definitely made the room feel smaller.
We keep coming back to this Benjamin Moore color called Linen White. Check it out. I’d paint the whole house that color but my wife likes complexity.
This is my office set up. Has everything that was included at time of original sale, I think. It's a beautiful piece in outstanding condition, but it needs some work. Wish I could find someone who can work on German tube consoles...
Great suggestions, thank you. I agree, I'm having a hard time with tan also, it looks too "Pottery Barn," if you get my drift. Benjamin Moore Linen White could be just the ticket! Thank you!
She’s more into the music than the soundstaging and stereo effects lol! She parks herself in front of the stereo in the evening waiting for me to play some tunes. I hate to admit it but I often put on a jazz playlist for her if I’m going out. She’s a good dog.
If you don't mind driving 12 hours, I know someone in Long Island who can probably fix this for you. I'm sure there are closer options. Good luck.
The outside is not spectacular. Just an old garage. The roof is actually insulated - we stripped the old wood shingles off, put a layer of plywood, then 6” of rigid insulation foam, another layer of plywood and the a metal roof. It’s probably more efficient than my house is.
I can see it now: Audio sheds grip the nation. All audiophiles are building sheds or turning old garages into Audio Safe Havens. ASH griping the nation.
Is it an IKEA POANG chair in the background? I had the same chair and foot rest for years at home and it was one of the most comfortable lounging chairs I ever used. The main drawback is that it's very Roomba unfriendly.
Yep. Everything is Roomba unfriendly... Mine is now out in the screened patio picking up bits of sand everyday.
