my life simulator

The shape of this table is very simple, with a table top and four legs, without any extra things, it looks very simple.

But... the simpler it is, the easier it is to play.

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

Above the four table legs, a skirt can be added to make carvings, and the decoration can be made into dragon patterns.

The table top can be carved with patterns of eight treasures.As for the middle of the table... this cannot be engraved.The desktop must be flat, otherwise it is not easy to put things.

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

The entire table was repainted a mahogany to look like antique mahogany furniture.

After this transformation, the force will come up!

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

The first is to trace the picture, make the four table legs into a tiger crouching shape, trace the composition texture, and then start to carve with the knife.

This kind of large-scale sculpture is not as delicate as the small ones, but it is more aggressive to operate.

Lu Li picked up a large carving knife and modified the shape of the four table legs. The straight up and down four table legs made a tiger crouching arc, and carved lines on the table legs.

Under the table legs, where the floor lands, needs fine carving instead.Lu Li carved the lower ends of the four table legs into tiger claws.

After the four table legs were carved, Lu Li started to carve the Eight Treasures pattern around the table.

Because to make the hem of Kuilong pattern, carpentry tools are also needed.Lu Li just placed an order online last night, and it will take a few days for the goods to arrive, so he can only make these small changes for the time being.

The eight-treasure pattern carving around the table looks very complicated, with many lines and patterns, but it is actually not that complicated.

These patterns are all the same. After drawing, carving one by one is just repeating the same carving technique.

It didn't take too long for Lu Li to finish carving the Eight Treasures pattern around the table.

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

The tools have not arrived, and the paint has not yet arrived, and it cannot be completed in one step for the time being.

So, Lu Li turned his attention to the stool that came with the Eight Immortals table.

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

In order to match the table, the decoration of the four stools is exactly the same as the table.Also the four legs of the tiger crouching pattern, the skirt of the Kui dragon pattern, and the four sides of the stool surface of the eight treasures pattern.

With the same shape and texture, Lu Li carved it more smoothly and more easily.

After a whole morning, Lu Li re-carved and decorated the dining table and four stools.

Because there is still a lack of skirts and no paint, the table and stools after re-carving are all white and white, which is not very beautiful.

It's just that, compared to the simple tables and stools before, even this unfinished work is several levels higher.

Both Lu's father and Lu's mother didn't go home for lunch. Lu Li made his own lunch and brought it to sit on the re-beautified dining table. The feeling of eating seemed to be better.

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

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

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

The clay sculpture and pen holder I promised my mother yesterday, I must not slip up, I must finish it 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 "the morning sun reflects the hills".

Dad's clay sculpture is for moving bricks, and mother's clay sculpture is for selling vegetables.

The second time making the pen holder and clay sculpture was smoother and more proficient than the first time. Lu Li spent much 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. The two clay sculptures are placed side by side on the coffee table in the living room, and the two bamboo sculpture pen holders... er, the cups are just cups, and they are also placed side by side.

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

Parents can't see the artistic value of these two things.However, they have already felt this intention.

"Haha! It's beautiful! It's so beautiful!"

Mom looked around at the clay sculpture on the coffee table for a while, grinning from ear to ear.

"Huh? Tables and stools..."

Dad suddenly saw the very different dining table and stools, and said in surprise: "Baby, you made the table and stools too?"

"It's not finished yet!"

Lu Li said with a smile, "I just finished the carving, and I still need to install the skirt and paint. It will take a few days to finish."

"Oh! I just saw it!"

My mother turned her head and saw the changed dining table and stools, so she ran up quickly, walked around the table, and exclaimed, "Tsk tsk" in her mouth, "Good job! Son, you just learned art well. The tables and stools were replaced by you. In this way, it looks like an antique on TV."

"Art makes life better!"

Lu Li replied with a smile.

"Well! Not bad! Not bad!"

Dad also nodded with a smile, "It seems that it is still very useful for you to learn this art!"

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

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

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

Carved tables, stools, coffee tables, wooden sofas, doors, windows, wardrobes and desks, all carved.

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

The carpentry tools and various paints that Lu Li ordered had also arrived.

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

The windows were plastic sliding windows, so there wasn't much to beautify them. Lu Li just installed a decorative skirt on top of the curtains to beautify it a bit.

When installing these decorative skirts, except for the nails on the doors and windows, Lu Li did not use nails in other places. Instead, he used traditional carpentry mortise and tenon techniques to assemble these skirts.

Once the trim skirt is installed, it's time to paint and paint.

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

The only thing that is a little raw is the painting.

Fortunately, everything can be found on the Internet. After searching the manufacturing process of lacquerware and painting process, Lu Li has mastered the process after reading it.

There are not too many profound things in painting, it is nothing more than priming, coloring, painting, and then a layer of varnish.

First sand it, then scrape the primer, then paint, after it dries, paint on it, and finally apply a coat of varnish.

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

Half a month later, the furniture, doors, windows and wardrobes in Lu Li's house were all brand new.

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

"Wow……"

When Lu Li finished the last step, Lu's parents and mothers were stunned when they saw the furniture, doors and windows, and wardrobes in the house!

In the living room, on the fuchsia coffee table, patterns of rich and noble peonies are carved and painted.

Two short and one long next to it, three wooden sofas have been transformed into the style of Panlong Taishi chairs.Carved dragons and phoenixes, five blessings come to the door, all kinds of carvings and paintings are colorful and beautiful.

In the restaurant next to it, there is an antique tiger squatting Eight Immortals table with four tiger squatting square stools, just like a tiger squatting on a hill.

Around the dark purple Eight Immortals table, there are four dragon-patterned skirts, colorfully painted and radiant.

A circle is drawn in the center of the table, and a lotus flower and carp are 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...is this a work of art?

beautiful!

These furniture... are completely different from the original junk!

"Son, with this ability, you will never have to worry about it for the rest of your life!"

Father Lu was very happy when he saw the beautiful furniture in the house that looked like works of art.

Not because of the furniture, but because of Lu Li's craftsmanship.With this ability, you don't have to worry about not being able to get food in the future.

"There are more beautiful ones!"

Lu Li smiled, and pointed in the direction of the room, "I've remodeled the door and wardrobe, let's go and see the final result!"

"The door and wardrobe are also finished? Then you have to take a good look!"

Lu's mother was full of laughter, and quickly 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-style lattice frame on the original door frame and door panel, and a painted picture is carved on the door leaf.

Lu Li's room had "Hanmei Aoxue" on the door.

Inside the Chinese-style lattice frame, stands a cold plum tree that is frosty and snowy.There is also a poem inscribed in the blank space: "The sharp edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold."

In the parents' room, there is "Fugui Peony" on the door, and a cluster of brilliant peonies blooms in the Chinese-style lattice frame.

In the guest room next to it, a "welcoming pine" is carved and painted on the door.

After such a transformation, the once old decoration and old furniture have regained their brilliance.

"It's beautiful! It's so beautiful!"

Mom looked at the carvings and paintings on the door and smiled from ear to ear.

"Really beautiful!"

Dad nodded too.Looking up at the yellowed latex paint walls around him, Dad frowned again.

"Son, the furniture, doors and windows are very beautiful, this is the wall..."

Dad turned his head to look at Lu Li, and said with a smile, "It seems that this wall needs to be redecorated, 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 was a little confused about what this was.

"It's just painting!"

Lu Li grinned, "Isn't painting something I'm best at? Leave it to me!"

"Good! Good!"

Hearing this, Mom and Dad nodded again and again.

The next day, Lu Li started painting the walls.

Lu Li had already drawn up the plan for painting the walls.The required paints and some required tools have also been bought back.

Everything is ready, just waiting for... hygiene.

Well, before painting, the walls and ceiling have to be cleaned and wiped, and the base color can only be applied after cleaning.

Using the ladder, Lu Li wiped and cleaned the walls piece by piece, thoroughly cleaning the entire room up and down, and some places that were not smooth still needed to be polished with sandpaper.

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

After drying it all night, Lu Li started to paint the walls the next day.

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

Take a big brush, just like painting latex paint, and paint every wall and ceiling of the entire room.

This process took Lu Li two days.After painting the base color, Lu Li had another two days to wait for the base color to dry before starting to paint.

On the TV wall in the living room, Lu Li painted a painting of a lotus pond.

A clump of willows hangs from the upper left corner, and a pomegranate plant protrudes from the upper right corner.The blue waves are rippling right in front, and the distant view is a clump of green reeds.Below, on both sides of the TV, are lotus flowers and lotus leaves.

Opposite the TV wall, on this wall, Lu Li painted a landscape of green hills, surrounded by clear water, waterfalls and flowing springs.
