Space Gym Saga: Finishing the Project?!
Hello again! I'm back this weekend to finish up the chronicles of Space Gym.
What is a "Space Gym," why did I want one, and how did I end up with the final product?
See Parts 1-3 here:

Whew. It's a lot isn't it?
Here's how the wispy blue nebula evolved and came out.
After a little of this and little of that, and wary of possibly ruining my beautiful mural, I decided the mural was COMPLETE.
Could there be more stars? Sure. More details on the nebula? Of course. But this was better than I had ever imagined, and I was very proud of it.
So, I turned my attention to the rest of the walls.
Here is what the color of the walls in the other parts of the gym were like before Space Gym:
The previous owners loved that sponge paint method... why? idk.
I narrowed the colors down to these four, and we decided to go with the light blue.
Off to the hardware store I went to pick up the paint. It took a two coats, but I love how the blue turned out!
With the mural done, and the walls painted, it was finally time. Time for the JPL posters that started it all. BoP & I picked out six of the prints, and I got them printed. I ordered a set of six plastic fronted frames (after all, they were going in a gym). And here's how they looked once they arrived and I put them in frames:
At this point, BoP was like: Wow! Those look great! Maybe we *should* put them in the living room!!
And I was like:
And he was like:
But all was forgiven, because BoP agreed to help me hang the pictures in the Space Gym and to hang the mirrors.
And... here's how it all came together:
And now. The final reveal. Before and after!
Ultimately, I'm very happy with how things came out, and I enjoyed doing this project. Working out in Space Gym is a delight, and I hope you had fun following the journey.
Please let me know if you start your own Space Gym saga!
Love,
Kit
