OK, so I know Emily for a whole 10 minutes, never been to Portland, and am shopping from an Asian Market, um yeah, the word challenge comes to mind. This was a blast, it was sort of surreal… I got used to the cameras pretty quickly, just did my thing, kept my mind in the game, and busted my butt to finish this room. When I kicked the paint can over, I had some sort of outer body experience. I felt like I was looking down at myself saying “Don’t loose it, but what the hell are you doing? You’re on a competition reality show? Is this for real Michael? Are you going to wake up soon?” But I did not wake up… So I made the conscious decision to bite down and let the games begin!
Things you may have missed:
- We only had two cans of paint, notice I have 3 colors in the room… That white is the primed wall bleeding through the blue. I painted the entire graphic in negative space… Yeah, painting the blue around the white was a bit more challenging than anticipated, but I got it done!
- Unsuccessful wall sconce hiding behind the headboard, I couldn’t finish it in the last minute so I chucked it behind the bed when time was called.
- That’s Emily in that green lantern. I cut her face out of her picture and stuck her in there, she looks cute in there, like a big fish in a little lantern. Hi Em!
- A very precarious console. This thing was so flimsy and broke twice when putting it in place. I prayed to Flo (my grandmother) that this thing would just stay up until after the judges came through. It was literally held together with tape…
- Feathers, yes, feathers were my artwork, not my rug... Crazy conceptual Julie!
- My collection of collectibles. Um, while eclectic and maybe a bit hazardous, my goal was for it not to look Asian, I think I accomplished that at the very least!
- Feathers, yes, feathers from Julie’s rug kept blowing over from next door!
