My Life Simulator

Lu Li's house is relatively old.

The renovation of the year consisted of painting a layer of latex paint on the walls, hanging some plaster tops from the ceiling, and laying a layer of floor tiles on the ground.

In Lu Li's "decoration design", these basic projects don't need major changes at all.

Walls can be solved by wall painting. Door and window furniture can be carved and painted.

The only problem is that this modification takes more time. This is even more indifferent. Anyway, it's the same as practicing skills, and you can always finish it slowly.

The next day, Lu Li started to act.

In the beginning, there was no big fanfare. Lu Li changed from a small place first. One technique was not good enough, and the other was not able to fantasize by himself.

Lu Li's first renovation was the dining table.

The dining table at home is very old. It is said that before Lu Li was born, there was this table at home.

This is a square log table. Compared with the synthetic table that I bought now, this table is old, but...the original wood material is very suitable for modification.

Antique carved table with eight immortals.

It's much stronger than the synthetic table bought outside.

Lu Li smiled and circled the table, already having a confession in his heart.

The shape of this table is very simple, a table top, four legs, without any extras, looks very simple.

But...the simpler, the better.

The four table legs can be carved into tiger squatting patterns, just like four tiger claws clinging to the ground.

Above the four table legs, a skirt can be added to make a carved pattern, and the ornamentation can be made into a dragon pattern.

The surroundings of the table top can be carved with eight treasure patterns. As for the middle of the tabletop...this one cannot be carved. The table top must be flat, otherwise it is difficult to put things.

Lu Li was about to draw a picture of a lotus carp on the desktop.

The entire table was repainted and painted in purple-red, which looked like antique mahogany furniture.

After this transformation, the forced grid has come up!

Lu Li smiled and nodded, took out the wood carving tools from the room, and began to carve the table legs.

First, I traced the picture, made the four table legs into a tiger squat shape, traced the composition texture, and then started carving.

This kind of large sculpture is not as delicate as the small one, but it is more drastic to operate.

Lu Li picked up the large carving knife and modified the shape of the four table legs. The four table legs that went straight up and down made a tiger squat curve and carved lines on the table legs.

Below the table legs, the landing position needs to be finely carved. Lu Li carved the bottom of the four table legs into the shape of tiger claws.

After carving the four table legs, Lu Li began to carve the Eight Treasure Patterns around the tabletop again.

Because it needs woodworking tools to make the skirt of Kuilong pattern. Lu Li only placed an order online last night, and it will take a few days for the goods to arrive. For the time being, he can only make these small changes.

The carved eight-treasure pattern around the desktop looks very complicated, with many lines and patterns, but in fact it is not that complicated.

These patterns are all the same. After tracing the drawings, they are engraved one by one, just repeating the same engraving technique.

Without spending too much time on the phone, Lu Li completed the carving of the Eight Treasures around the tabletop.

For this table to achieve Lu Li's design effect, it also needs to be fitted with a Kuilong skirt around it, and then painted and painted before it can be officially completed.

The tools have not arrived, and the paint hasn't arrived yet, so we can't get it in one step yet.

So, Lu Li turned his gaze on the stool that matched the Eight Immortal Table.

The style of the four stools is also very simple, the only advantage is that the materials are solid, which is very beneficial to Lu Li's modification and beautification.

To match the table, the patterns of the four stools are exactly the same as the table. The same is the four legs with tiger squatting pattern, the skirt with Kuilong pattern, and the stool with Babao pattern on all sides.

With the same shape and texture, Lu Li sculpted smoother and more handy.

The morning passed, Lu Li re-carved and decorated the dining table and four stools.

Because there is still a lack of skirts, and no lacquer or painting, the re-carved tables and stools are white in color, which is not too beautiful.

It's just that, compared to the crude tables and stools before, even this unfinished work has been raised several levels higher.

Dad Lu and Mother Lu didn't go home for lunch. Lu Li made lunch by himself and brought it to sit on the re-beautified table. The feeling of eating seemed better.

Art originates from life, but it is higher than life, but... it must return to life in the end!

It is more important to bring beauty to your family than to bring beauty to others.

After lunch, Lu Li didn't immediately put into the next step of beautification.

Yesterday, I promised my mother's clay sculptures and pen holders. I definitely can't fail to say anything. I must finish them first.

For the second pen holder, Lu Li made a set with the previous one. One is "The bright moon shines on the river" and the other is "Chaoyang Yingshangang".

Dad’s clay sculptures are used to move bricks, while mother’s clay sculptures are used to sell vegetables.

The second time making pen holders and clay sculptures was easier and more skilled than the first time. Lu Li took far less time than the first time.

After half a day, the clay sculptures and bamboo carvings were all finished.

Take out yesterday's clay sculpture and bamboo sculpture. Two clay sculptures are placed side by side on the coffee table in the living room, and two bamboo sculpture pen holders... Uh, the cup is just a cup, and they are also side by side.

When Mom and Dad came back, they were very happy to see the two clay sculptures and two "cups" on the coffee table.

The artistic value of these two things is invisible to my parents. However, they have already felt this intention.

"Haha! Good-looking! So good-looking!"

My mother looked around the clay sculpture on the coffee table for a while, laughing from ear to ear.

"Huh? Table and stool..."

Dad suddenly saw a very different dining table and stool, and said in surprise: "My baby, the table and stool...you made them?"

"It's not finished yet!"

Lu Li smiled and said, "It's just that the carving is finished, and the skirts and the paint are still painted. It will take a few days to complete the work."

"Oh! I just saw it!"

My mother turned her head and saw the greatly changed dining table and stools. She rushed up and turned around the table. She exclaimed, "Good job! Son, you just learned art well. The table and stools are yours. It looks like an antique on TV."

"Art makes life better!"

Lu Li answered with a smile.

"Yeah! Not bad! Not bad!"

Dad also smiled and nodded, "It seems that you are still very useful to learn this art!"

Lu Li smiled, I don't know if it is useful for others to learn art. I study art, it must be useful!

Can't improve the quality of life, can't make life better, why should I learn it?

In the next period of time, Lu Li was still "beautifying the environment" step by step.

The table is carved, the stool is carved, and then the coffee table is carved, the wooden sofa is carved, the door, window, wardrobe and desk are all carved.

Except that the bed is not made of logs and is not suitable for renovation, all the furniture in the house has been beautified by Lu Li's carvings.

The woodworking tools and various paints Lu Li ordered have also arrived.

After buying some hardwood boards from a lumber company, Lu Li began to carve tables, stools, sofas, coffee tables, and decorative skirts on doors and windows.

The windows are plastic-steel sliding windows, which can't be beautified much. Lu Li just installed a decorative skirt above the curtains to beautify it slightly.

When installing these decorative skirts, except for the nails on the doors and windows, Luli did not use nails in other places, but used the traditional woodworking mortise and tenon process to assemble these skirts.

After the decorative skirt is installed, the next step is to paint and paint.

Color painting and color matching is Lu Li's specialty, so naturally it is not a problem, even painting on various furniture doors and windows.

The only thing a little bit more hand-painted is the paint.

Fortunately, I could find everything on the Internet. I searched for the manufacturing process and painting process of lacquerware. After reading it, Lu Li also mastered the process flow.

There is not much esoteric thing about painting, it's nothing more than primer, coloring, painting, and a coat of varnish.

First sand with sandpaper, then scrape the base material, paint it, and dry it, paint on it, and finally paint the varnish.

The work is easy and it doesn't take much time, but... there are several steps in the middle that need to be dried naturally, and half a month has passed since the whole process was completed.

After half a month, Lu Li's furniture, doors, windows and wardrobes were all completely new.

The exquisite carved and painted decorations give these old homes a new life. Every piece of furniture, every door and window looks gorgeous and elegant, beautiful and beautiful.

"Wow……"

When Lu Li's last step was completed, Lu's father and mother were stunned when they saw the furniture, these doors and windows, and these wardrobes at home!

In the living room, the fuchsia coffee table is carved and painted with rich and precious peony patterns.

The two short and one long, three wooden sofas on the side have been transformed into the style of a Panlong Taishi chair. Carved dragons and phoenixes, the five blessings come to the door, all kinds of carved and colored paintings, colorful and beautiful.

In the next restaurant, an antique tiger squatting table with eight immortals, with four tiger squatting square stools, looks like a tiger squatting on a hill.

Around the dark purple table of the Eight Immortals, there is a skirt with a dragon pattern on all sides, which is colorfully painted and radiant.

A circle is drawn in the center of the desktop, and a lotus carp is drawn in this circle. The four corners outside the circle are painted with four patterns of Fu Lu Shou Xi.

Such a sofa, such a coffee table, such a table... Isn't this a work of art?

beautiful!

These pieces of furniture... are not the same concept as the old ones!

"Son, with this skill, you will have no worries for the rest of your life!"

Dad Lu looked at the magnificent pieces of furniture at home, like works of art, and he was very happy.

Not because of the furniture, but because of Lu Li's craftsmanship. With this ability, there is no need to worry about getting mixed up in the future.

"There are more beautiful ones!"

Lu Li smiled and pointed his finger in the direction of the room, "I have remodeled the door and wardrobe. Let's see the final result!"

"The door and the closet are also finished? You have to take a good look!"

Lu Ma smiled and hurriedly got up and ran over.

Lu Li also walked to the door of the room with his father.

At this moment, the finished door has a carved and painted Chinese pattern frame on the original door frame and door panel, and a colored drawing is also carved on the door page.

"Han Mei Aoxue" was on the door of Lu Li's room.

Inside the Chinese-style flower grid, there stands a frosty winter plum. There is also a poem inscribed in the blank space: "The sharp edge of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossom comes from the bitter cold."

On the door of the parents' room, there are "rich peonies", and a cluster of splendid peonies are in full bloom in the border of the Chinese pattern.

On the door of the guest room next to it is carved and painted with a "welcoming pine".

After such a transformation, the old decoration and old furniture reappeared with brilliance.

"Good-looking! So good-looking!"

My mother looked at the engraving and painting on the door, laughing from ear to ear.

"It's really good-looking!"

Dad also nodded. Lifting his eyes to look at the yellow latex painted wall around him, my father frowned again.

"Son, the furniture, doors and windows are beautiful, it's this wall..."

Dad turned his head and glanced at Lu Li, then smiled: "It seems that this wall has to be renovated, otherwise it won't be worthy of the things my son made."

"No need to decorate!"

Lu Li smiled and shook his head, "Dad, what is the most high-end wall decoration now? It's wall painting!"

"Wall painting?"

Dad couldn't figure out what it was.

"Just draw!"

Lu Li grinned, "Isn't painting what I do best? Leave it to me!"

"Good! Good!"

Hearing this, my parents nodded again and again.

The next day, Lu Li started painting the walls.

Lu Li had already formulated a plan for wall painting. The required colored paint and some necessary tools have also been bought back.

Everything is ready, just waiting...to do sanitation.

Well, before painting, you have to clean the walls, ceilings, and wipe them all, and then you can start to paint the background color.

Riding the herringbone ladder, Lu Li wiped and cleaned the walls one by one, and thoroughly cleaned the whole room up and down. Some areas that were not flat enough needed sandpaper to polish.

It's simple to say, but to do it... it took Lu Li a whole day to clean the walls and ceilings.

After drying for one night, Lu Li began to paint the walls the next day.

The background color is determined according to the decoration style, generally lighter colors, beige, milky white, light pink, these background colors.

Holding a big brush, it's almost like applying latex paint, and brushed every wall and ceiling of the entire room.

This process took Lu Li two days. After painting the background color, Lu Li was left empty for two more days, waiting for the background color to dry before he started to paint.

The TV wall in the living room~www.ltnovel.com~ Lu Li painted a lotus pond.

A clump of wicker hangs in the upper left corner, and a pomegranate sticks out from the upper right corner. The blue waves are rippling in front, and the distant view is a cluster of green reeds. Below, on both sides of the TV, there are lotus plants and lotus leaves.

On the opposite side of the TV wall, on this wall, Lu Li painted the landscape of green mountains, surrounded by blue water, and waterfalls and springs.

On the wall of the restaurant, Lu Li painted a scene of ancient people having a banquet. There are four separate paintings of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum on the hallway.

The walls of the room are mainly painted with flowers and birds, all of which are warm pictures with warm colors.

The entire painting process took Lu Li more than half a month.

After Lu Li finished painting the "Human Face and Peach Blossoms in Red" in his room, the one-month "beautification of the home" plan was finally successfully completed.

That's it!

Lu Li let out a happy laugh. What is art, this is art!
