I heading in the direction of the end line on our residence health club, though should you had been to see the room at the moment (which I’m about to indicate you), you’d by no means suppose this room is close to completion. Let’s simply say that over the past three days or so, the room seems like a twister went by way of it.
I nonetheless haven’t put in the Swedish ladder, so it’s taking over a complete lot of ground area. Then I had to purchase some trim and produce it in. There’s remnants from the closet flooring challenge, and the dresser makeover challenge. It’s a multitude, however I’ll get it cleaned up at the moment. I’ve to as a result of Matt must have entry to the toilet tomorrow morning, and thru our residence health club is the one entry to the toilet proper now.
I had ordered 4 frames from Michael’s to go together with the 2 that I bought within the retailer in order that I might grasp six prints on the lengthy wall to the appropriate simply contained in the door. The 4 frames arrived, and all 4 had been damaged or broken. The glass was damaged on two of them, the frames had been damaged on three, and the fourth body didn’t have nook protectors on it, so whereas it didn’t break in transit, the corners had been all banged up. I feel if I combine and match the items, I can salvage one entire body with glass and mat, and that’s provided that I’m prepared to wooden glue one of many damaged frames again collectively. In order that was extremely disappointing.
The plywood cutout that I ordered for the other wall is meant to be right here at the moment. Hopefully, it would arrive in a single piece.
I spent loads of time studying by way of your whole feedback on yesterday’s submit, and arising with a plan for the closet space. And I’ve one! I feel it’s a really strong plan, however it wasn’t any of the three that I proposed. It’s truly a unique plan that a lot of you instructed, and that I hadn’t even thought-about. That’s why I like crowdsourcing for concepts! ?
The plan is to color the entire closet — facet partitions, foremost wall, and perhaps even the ceiling — a strong coloration, however not a coloration chosen from the strips in the principle a part of the room. It’ll be a unique strong coloration that will of you instructed.
So I headed to Residence Depot to pick a paint coloration based mostly on the suggestion that a lot of you gave me, and I ended up with Limousine Leather-based. Yep, that’s proper. It’s black. Truly, it’s blacker than black. Actually.
I had narrowed it all the way down to Black and Limousine Leather-based, and I requested the man on the paint desk if he might inform me the distinction between the formulation for the 2 colours as a result of they regarded so related. He stated the distinction is that Limousine Leather-based has extra black in it than Black. ? I believed that appeared slightly ironic, however there it’s. Limousine Leather-based is blacker than Black.
However earlier than I might paint, I needed to get in there and do some sanding. Since I had taped off and painted stripes on the facet partitions, I couldn’t simply paint proper over these as a result of the taped off areas (i.e., the tiny white stripes) would present beneath a strong coat of paint. So earlier than portray, I needed to sand these easy. I made fairly the mess, as you may see from the carpet, however I’ve full confidence that every one of that may vacuum up simply.
And in addition earlier than portray, I needed to set up the ceiling lights. I nonetheless needed to reduce the holes within the drywall for the lights, so creating drywall mud completely needed to be completed earlier than portray the partitions black. May you even think about the mess if I had painted first, after which created drywall mud proper subsequent to a newly painted black wall? Anyway, I’m glad to lastly have these lights put in!
Right here’s what the lights seem like after they’re on, not less than for now. I’m positive portray the partitions black will affect how vibrant these lights look.
In order that’s so far as I acquired yesterday. You’ll need to test in on Monday to see how this seems as soon as it’s all painted. I feel it’ll look nice! It’s the one strong coloration that made any sense to me, and I’m so glad that so a lot of you instructed it. That teal didn’t work for me in any respect, and it’s the one one of many stripe colours that I might think about utilizing in such a big amount. However the black simply appeared to work in my thoughts. I positive hope it seems as nice in actual life because it seems in my thoughts! ?
