High score!

nippon paint studio

I am currently living in a studio apartment. Unlike other studios, this one is standardized – every single frigging room in this suite is EXACTLY the same. Same sofa, same bed, same tables. You know how it is. Even the cursed bed sheets are the same color! I have an ex-gf who lives here too and her place is precisely like mine. 

my studio

Hell, sometimes I get confused whether it’s my place or her place (mine is a bit messier but that’s about it).

I have this side table from my old place that was the only furniture I can lug to my new studio. I just moved less than two weeks ago and I had to use my car to transport fittings. I have a certain attachment to it so I decided to add a dash of personality into my humdrum studio.

It’s a red table and I want it to be colorful so I enlisted the help of friends and we painted the table to make it more personal. I learned a couple of painting tips in the Nippon Paint workshop a while back but she was the one with the artistic vision (and passion) so I left all art direction in her good hands.

The painting of the table involved no less than six (6) different Nippon Paint colors.

Nippon Odourlite Gloss Finish
7032T Gold Shadow
6021P Silent Bliss
1102T Jasmine Leaf
281A Liberty Blue
7083D Autumn Blaze

Nippon Odourlite Matt Finish
OW17 1P Mint Scent

I also had Nippon Paint Color Testers which is very useful for small projects like this. There are thousands of colors to choose from and it’s like a sample can of sorts.

She showed me a picture of what she can do to it and it looked amazing.

This is her awesome concept.

Thus, the painting process begins:

Larger brushes were used for broad strokes…

while finer ones were utilized for detailing.

Of course, having newspapers around avoids spillage, which is a Bad Thing (TM).

She penciled in the details before painting freestyle – steady, surgeon hands. πŸ˜‰ 

nippon paint tape

The tape is used to avoid paint from getting onto the sides.

It doesn’t take long to dry at all if you have sunlight and a nice breeze assisting you.

It’s an awesome design eh? It only took a weekend and the best thing about the project was the fun factor for people who like to paint!

Here’s a closer look at the Pac-table.

I’m lovin’ it. It looks great in my new studio and adds a bit of life to the uniformity (a word I never like) of my apartment. πŸ™‚

It’s a great classic design (Pacman!) with an Easter Egg of sorts beside it and it really motivates me to write with the HIGH SCORE, GET READY! and the sense of urgency, determination and possibilities it conveys.

  13. What’s with all these people asking about the apartment. Come on guys, lets get to the serious question.
    Why the pretty girl is not your g/f? You did invite her to your place to set up home. In some culture, that means you are off the market.

  14. June: I love cats too but a live in cat can be a bit bothersome e.g. you have to use lint remover on all your clothes, but having a feline friend is more than worth it! πŸ™‚

  17. The best time to write your own stuff is whenever you’re inspired about certain facet of your MLM business. If you’ve simply learned a great tip from a MLM teaching webcast or from the upline sponsor, write about it. If you are educating a new on line MLM selling skill, write about that. Any time your resourceful juices are flowing, write about it. Simply ensure that no matter you’re writing is going to assist a person else. As they say in certain programs, discuss your experience, strength, and hope.

  18. As you are trying to find MLM enterprise to call a home, persistantly bear in mind that this final explanation should be to allow cash. There might be a normal practice in MLM. Individuals get involved as a result of income but most folks quit within ninety three days. Most of people who have a tendency to not quit are sticking around because of sweet talks. 97% of which are creating not as much as $10 per week. That being said, you will see a lot of persons producing over $300,000 per month. This is certainly one of the best business to have a chance of financial freedom.
