A Few Updates – Pendant Mild Progress, Desk Accent Determination, and New Desk Chair Cloth Swatches

Up to now, I’ve the primary (and largest) ring completed and prepared for the following ring to be assembled.

And I’ve seven extra rings completed and able to be assembled.

I’ve two colours which can be fully painted and gilded. I nonetheless must drill holes and fix them to rings.

After which I’ve 4 colours which can be painted on the fronts, however nonetheless want gilding on the backs and fronts. Then I must drill holes and fix them to rings.

After which I’ve one coloration that’s painted on fronts, gilded on backs, however nonetheless must be gilded on the fronts earlier than I can drill holes and fix them to rings.

So there’s nonetheless fairly a bit of labor to be performed, however I handed the midway level some time again. I hope to have a completed pendant gentle within the subsequent few days.

Now shifting on to the desk. As a number of individuals instructed, I took a glance to see what I may discover domestically for my desk makeover. I did discover the Goal panels and the Kirkland’s panel domestically, however they only didn’t do something for me. Then at Interest Foyer, I discovered this panel that I actually favored, however the center half (i.e., the precise ornamental half) was manufactured from very skinny wooden. I don’t even suppose it was 1/4-inch thick, which implies that it may break very simply.

However look what I discovered…and purchased!

As quickly as I noticed these, I believed they is perhaps excellent. They give the impression of being similar to the darker inexperienced leaves within the wallpaper mural.

I like that! It’s like these have been made for my desk! Properly, form of. I completely love the design, and I believe they’ll be excellent as soon as they’re integrated into the design and every thing is painted the identical coloration.

However, as you may see right here, the cutout design is about an inch too brief.

I’m not fairly positive what I’m going to do about that, however I’ll work out one thing. As a result of these are too excellent to go up!

And eventually, let’s speak concerning the desk chair material. My final spherical of samples didn’t actually work out. I noticed nearly instantly that inexperienced wasn’t the best coloration for my desk chair. So whereas I used to be at lunch with my mother final week, we talked about another prospects. She instructed that I search for a strong material within the darkest coloration on my favourite striped material.

I beloved that concept! As a substitute of in search of a contrasting coloration, I beloved the thought of doing the chair in a coloration extra just like the cupboards, however in a darker shade. So I ordered each darkish pinkish crimson velvet pattern that I may discover from KOVI. Clearly, considered one of them was a right away “no”.

In order that left me with these 4 as prospects. They’re all very related, however they do have very delicate variations.

I favored all of them, however the one of many far left appeared a bit too true crimson to me. It appeared too harsh towards the cupboards.

So then I used to be down to a few, and I attempted to find out which one appeared finest not solely with the cupboards, but in addition with the darkest crimson coloration on the pendant gentle. My eye retains going to the center swatch.

I’ll present you an in depth up of every one. The far proper swatch has some variation in coloration which nearly makes the velvet look shimmery, however it’s not.

That is the one which my eye retains getting drawn to. It has a little bit of a texture to it that jogs my memory of a tiny, micro corduroy.

After which there’s the left swatch, which has extra pink in it than the center one.

So it’s down to those three. Whichever one I select, I’m going to cowl the entire chair on this material, after which add white piping and a white three-letter monogram to the center of the entrance chair again (i.e., the place my head rests). I’m fairly enthusiastic about this concept! However I simply must decide concerning the material. As of this second, the center one is the winner for me.
