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 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 4x8 sheets. I used one sheet and used a 4x4 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.
