I decided that I needed to create a new surface to shoot shop photos on. I really like the grayish wood surface I use, but MAN is that piece of wood heavy and almost impossible to transport. This time around I’m going for a nice clean white-washed look that will hopefully allow my Etsy shop products to pop a little more. I realized that if I was going to compulsive buy a lot of metal/gray items, that it might be nice NOT to have a gray surface. Smart cookie!
So I bought a super large sheet of birch plywood at the local Home Depot, had the man at the store cut it into smaller more manegable sections, bought two shades of white/super light gray, some paint brushes, and a couple levels of sand paper. Let’s just say I had NO idea what I was doing and was crossing my fingers that everything would work out.
After the mess was cleaned up I was pretty happy with the results. I ended up making two panels so I could keep one in the loft and use the other to cart around if need be.
What do you think?
