If you've been following the progress on the mobile store, you will know that I have been struggling to find the best way to mount my lighting without wrecking the ceiling. My first two options didn't work (the two-sided tape refused to stick to the freshly cleaned surface and the anchor - singular - spun like a top when I tried that mounting method) so I spent this past weekend mulling it over yet again.
In the photo to the left you can see the strip lighting underneath the upper storage. It does quite a nice job of lighting up the yarn and keeps the colours fairly true. And because nothing beats natural light, if in doubt, it's a short walk to check colours under the sunlight coming through the front door.
You will also notice that the yarn on the back wall looks a little dark. A quick trip to the dollar store fixed that. You can see in the right photo that two battery powered LED trouble lights, hung strategically, brighten up that space beautifully!
So now that the lighting is all finished, I can concentrate on the finishing touches, like emptying and removing all the boxes, setting up the till area, etc.
If the weather cooperates, the mobile store takes its maiden voyage on March 12 to the Lacombe Farmer's Market Spring Market at the LMC (11am-4pm) and I have to have it presentable by then.

It looks wonderful, Lori!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It will look even better by the weekend. Weather permitting, I will be at the Spring Lacombe market at the LMC so you may have to come and check it out.
