Beam Me Up!!!

Beam Me Up

I admit I’m an avid Star Trek fan. This year the shows celebrates its 50th Anniversary. Star Trek made its first appearance in September 1966. It lasted only three seasons but its impact has been felt throughout the universe and remains a cult favorite among us die hard Sci-Fi fans and film makers. Here’s another piece of trivia…. The phrase, “Beam Me Up, Scotty” was never actually said on the television series. There were variations in a few of the shows. But it wasn’t until the audio recording of William Shatner’s novel “Star Trek: The Ashes of Eden” that the phrase was said. And that’s the phrase that caught on, became the title of James Doohan’s autobiography (he played Scotty on Star Trek), and inspired today’s art blog title. Only these art beams aren’t transportation particles but real beams. OK, not “real” beams. They are faux beams.

To incorporate this kitchen counter with the homes tropical interior, it now sports beams in a herringbone pattern:








For a home with a seaside interior theme, I painted this table top to mimic planks of gray bleached out wood:
