Video: Paint In Den Stripped

Posted on | January 25, 2010 | 15 Comments

I made my first you tube video over the weekend. I have a lot to learn about shooting, editing, music, intro etc. I can’t wait to share more of the house. It’s so hard to get a real feel for the space with just photos. Click on the video above to learn more about our den.

I’m still unsure what color to paint the molding. Thanks to everyone who left a comment on my post. I read every single one of them. I am leaning towards painting the molding off white. The room is really dark. I’m afraid adding a dark color to the molding will only make the room feel smaller.

Over the weekend we stripped more paint; I painstakingly cleaned each individual fluted molding, all 257 of them. I want the lines to be as crisp as possible. Hopefully, when the paint is applied we won’t loose any of the detail. Greg finished removing the ceiling from the little room off the den. The space is a total mess. Ug, another room to clean. Photos below.

Liane from Enhabiten

Posted on | December 11, 2009 | 2 Comments

Tara sent this great new handmade portrait etsy video she shot of Liane from Enhabiten. I’ve gotten to know Liane via the blogging world but seeing her in her element completely captivated me. Liane who started as a painter makes beautiful pillows using vintage fabrics and natural materials. Her studio in New Hampshire is filled with gorgeous florals and linens she has collected at local flea markets. I know she was feeling a bit shy about having a video of herself out in the world. Root her on and tell her she’s great on her blog. Below just a few of wares for sale at her etsy shop: enhabiten.etsy.com. My favorite are her cross pillows.

Su Blackwell

Posted on | January 19, 2009 | 2 Comments

I found a post to fit the bill: muted colors and lacey. Su Blackwell is an UK paper artist. Many of works are deconstructions of books cut and displayed to make new scenes. Her work to me has a quiet tone that almost feels like it’s whispering to its viewers. If you haven’t caught Su’s work she did with Beringer check out the commercial below. So captivating.

Time lapse video: Moon Set

Posted on | December 21, 2008 | Comments Off

Greg shared this video with me. Time lapse video can be so amazing. This was one of five best time lapse videos of nature according to livefortheoutdoors.com.

p.s. “this looks like a daylight video but is actually shot at night and shows the moon setting. What looks like shooting stars are actually aircraft flying overhead. No music here but the pictures do the talking…”

I just realized I never shared this stop motion video I found on June Taylor’s website. She sells jams and sauces. Very cute. I am totally inspired to make a film.
