Apartamento Pop Art - Uma explosão de cores e figuras

Quando Jonathan Fong se mudou para o seu atual apartamento, sentiu que as paredes pintadas de café suíço, totalmente sem vida o distraíam demais. Sem fazer qualquer reforma ou alteração importante, ele resolveu que era a hora de mudar tudo. E ele resolveu ousar!
Ao invés de pintar as paredes, ele optou por materiais não convencionais. Ao invés de simplesmente encapar os armários, ele aprendeu a fazer decoupagem. E colocou a mão na massa.


Na parte vermelha, ele aplicou linhas alternadas de poliuretano de alto brilho, para dar um efeito sutil, sem introduzir outra cor. 
Nas partes verde e azul, ele carimbou estrelas e redemoinhos.
E acima da lareira, nessa grade de letras, existem palavras escondidas, como "Grease" e "Xanadu", além do nome dele.
O faixa de rua, ao fundo, é de uma exposição de Andy Warhol e foi adquirida na loja do museu.


Na mesma exposição, ele encontrou a solução para cobrir os armários brancos da cozinha, que tanto o incomodavam: posters sendo vendidos com 40% de desconto. A união de uma boa solução e um bom negócio.
Depois de se informar (em um blog!) sobre como fazer decoupagem,  ele encarou o desafio e foi cobrindo cada parte da cozinha.. E com muito capricho! Repare só nos detalhes das gavetas:


O apartamento tem dois quartos, mas ele resolveu transformar um deles em sala de televisão. No quarto havia um armário espelhado que ele cobriu com uma cortina, deixando entreaberta. Isso engana muita gente que pensa que ali existe uma outra sala...


A cadeira tangerina foi encontrada em uma calçada. Vendo as fotos o antigo dono deve estar morto de arrependimento!
O sofá é lindo, eu simplesmente me apaixonei por ele! E repare nessa parede, revestida com placas de alumínio:


Na parede que limita a sala de jantar, ele fez um trabalho com fios. Você pode até dizer que é trabalhoso, mas não dá pra se julgar incapaz de copiar. Depois de fixar os fios horizontais (mais grossos), é só vir passando e entrelaçando um fio fino, formando essa teia. E tinta por cima!



Juntando uma peça aqui, outra ali, estampando, explorando cores, texturas e materiais, ele foi criando ambientes cheios de vida e personalidade.



E depois de tantas cores pela casa, nada mais natural que um quarto branco, clarinho, para relaxar. E nada mais natural também que ele pusesse a mão na massa para arrumá-lo. Esse painel atrás da cama, montado em placas, foi feito com tecidos usados em vestidos de noivas. Algumas placas receberam aplicação de rosas brancas, para dar ainda mais efeito de mistura de texturas.


E assim é o lar de Jonathan Fong: uma casa inteira para sorrir e um quarto que acalma! 

Ele fez isso tudo sozinho, em um apartamento alugado, sem quebradeira, sem reformas. Prova que qualquer um pode transformar sua casa em algo que seja a sua cara!
Aproveite que hoje é segunda-feira e comece a pensar no que você por aí essa semana.
Beijos!
