I’ve determined that I’m going to focus on the workplace space (nook) of my studio subsequent. I had thought-about engaged on the studio half lavatory subsequent, however that doesn’t actually make a lot sense. I have already got about half of the primary a part of the studio completed, so I actually ought to end up the remaining earlier than shifting on to the toilet, which technically is a separate room altogether.
So the plan is the end up the workplace space of the studio, then repaint my work tables, and at last, end up the large, clean wall by the work tables. As soon as I’ve the studio completed, I’ll work on the half lavatory.
Our climate has been so stunning these previous few days, so I took benefit of it and began engaged on the cupboard doorways and drawer fronts for this space of the room. It’s been some time since I’ve accomplished any work on this space, so to refresh your reminiscence, that is what it appeared like after I put in the cupboards…
However that’s so far as I acquired earlier than progress stalled. And as normally occurs when there’s no progress, the realm seems a bit messier now. Packing containers have gotten shoved over into this space, paint cans are stacked up, and my desk is a large number as a result of that is the place I sit to work on my beading tasks.
So I’m going to attempt to keep as centered as attainable and get this accomplished as rapidly as attainable. I’m truly very enthusiastic about lastly ending this space as a result of these cupboards are what individuals see after they’re within the kitchen and breakfast room and looking out by the door into the studio. These cupboards are straight in view, which is wh I typically maintain the door to the studio closed, and have privateness movie over the glass panes on the door to obscure the view.
However as quickly because the studio is completed, I’ll be eradicating that privateness movie in order that my colourful studio could be seen by the door.
There’s fairly a bit to do on this comparatively small space of the studio. My first precedence is to get the cupboard doorways and drawers completed. They’re already sanded (I did that on Tuesday), so now I’ve so as to add the trim, caulk, prime, paint, and add the gold leaf element. Once they’re completed, they’ll match the cupboards on the mural wall.
The one distinction is that I had deliberate to do glass entrance cupboard doorways on the 4 high cupboard doorways. Are you able to envision glass entrance doorways simply on the highest sections?
I don’t now if my coronary heart is as set on that concept because it was a few months in the past. Though, I do actually like that concept for one particular motive. I’ve determined that I need to discover a option to deliver the wallpaper mural over to this space of the room, however I would like it to be way more delicate than the mural wall and the again entry with the floral curtains.
So I had considered doing glass entrance doorways simply on the higher sections of cupboards, after which including the wallpaper mural to the backs of the cupboards in order that it may be seen by the glass doorways. Aside from that, I’m probably not positive how else I may deliver the wallpaper mural to this space of the room. I don’t need to apply it to the wall because the ceiling is so excessive on this wall and there’s no actually definitive stopping level for wallpaper to maintain it contained to the cupboard space. You’ll be able to see what I imply right here…
In order that’s why I believed the backs of the higher cupboards, with glass entrance doorways, can be the proper use for the wallpaper on this space of the room. However I’m open to different concepts!
So along with the cupboards, I’m additionally going to repaint the desk (which I’ve determined to maintain for now), however I need to discover a method so as to add two shallow drawers for pens, pencils, and different desk-type objects that have to be simply accessible.
I additionally must:
- End portray the partitions and ceiling,
- Construct the countertop,
- Trim out the window and set up a window shade,
- Make a brand new pendant gentle,
- Set up baseboards.
And another factor on the record is to reupholster my desk chair. Once we acquired our new velvet couch in the lounge, our cat Felicity may now not use the couch as her scratching submit, so she began utilizing my desk chair, which is upholstered in a woven cloth. She has made a whole mess of it.
I wasn’t actually involved about it as a result of I’ve been planning on reupholstering the chair anyway. I purchased the chair again once I was heading in a really completely different path with the studio, utilizing far more black and grey within the room. Now that I’ve gone a extra colourful, gentle, female path with the room, I don’t actually desire a grey chair. However I do love this chair — the form, the scale. So I’m going to discover a velvet cloth in a enjoyable, coordinating shade, and reupholster it.
That’s the path I’m heading with this little workplace nook of the studio. I’m excited to lastly be specializing in this space!

Matt has M.S. and is unable to do bodily work, so I do nearly all of the work on the home on my own. You’ll be able to study extra about me right here.
