Since the wooden beam had to be assembled in two pieces, there was the gap to contend with...
Here you see Chris cut the three pieces that fit over that gap.
A very nice fit and mitered perfectly...as usual.
Long view
Cutting the trim
Chris has a pro miter cutter...the thing is huge...the cuts it makes are sharp and pure.
We will start the trim project on the door...this gives us an idea as to what to expect.
We held up the fabric with tape and loosely shot staples so we could see what the fabric and trim look like together...beautiful!
When we place our final staples in the fabric, we just have to nip and tuck so there is nary a wrinkle...
We still have to figure out how we are going to place the next bolt of fabric on the ceiling...oh well...First things First!
The master at work yet again
Snug...
Color coordinated
The very first piece
Fabric and trimming
Our first piece of fabric is going up...with staples and nails to make it permanent...this will give us a better idea as to how all the fabric is going to fit with the wood trimming around the room and door.
Getting the fabric tucked under all the wood without wrinkles is a challenge...we first get it in place with loose staples. Then we will shoot the wood trim in place over the fabric.
This is a tedious process as we have to make sure when we staple the fabric in place and shoot the trim in place there are no wrinkles.
First piece in place
Fabric and trimming continued...
Each piece of fabric presented itself with unique challenges...wrinkles from who knows where! We also had to fold each piece to make an inside out seam that was stapled into the foam and drywall. These seams will later be covered with vertical wooden trim...so all the seams that are visible now will be covered.
We folded the top and bottom underneath itself and will trim with wainscoting and baseboard.
Again, a very tedious process.
Continue the fabric
Tuck it in...
Once again...the Master at play
Base board and wainscoting go up
Chris was very meticulous about the measuring and cutting...you know the old saying..."Measure twice...cut once..." That's exactly what we did...and it worked every time...good job, Chris.
We would press out the winkles as best we could then shoot in the trim. As I said earlier, each piece presents its own issues...but we really were blessed in that the wrinkles in the fabric came out once we got the trim shot in...happy builders!
Shoot em in, baby!
wainscoting
Here you see how down the line the fabric was able to be pulled tighter when the wainscoting was shot in...a much more professional look.
Also don't forget that the vertical seams will be covered with more wooden trim...in the studio, "wood is good!"
A sleek look
Round the horn
Fabric continued...
Here we got more fabric up and around our first corner...the corner was a challenge...but once we got it tucked in and stapled, it really came out looking good. You can also see the applied baseboard.
We were also very pleased with the wainscoting and baseboard look...I think it adds class.
Chris also got a vertical piece in place just so we could get an idea as to what the rest of the vertical trim will look like... I know it will look great.
vertical frim
Baseboard, fabric and wainscoting
This is where we stopped for the day...but we at least have a better idea as to what this room is going to look like.
Next
up we finish the fabric on this side of the room...Shoot in the rest of
the vertical trim to cover all the seams we made in the fabric...add
the continued baseboard and wainscoting...get the ceiling trim up...and
the corner trim.
We also have to start figuring out how we are going to get the ceiling fabric up.
