4 Coloration & Paint Choices For My Studio Desk

I had such an awesome day yesterday! I had my normal lunch with my mother and brother, however we had been joined by two extra individuals who aren’t normally at our desk. A kind of individuals was one in all my dearest mates from Houston, and we talked and laughed from midday till about 10:00pm final night time. It was simply what I wanted after the earlier extremely hectic, emotional, exhausting, and troublesome day and night time with Matt. So I felt refreshed, invigorated, and able to hit the bottom working at the moment on my ultimate studio initiatives.

After studying your entire feedback and recommendations about my studio desk, I’ve realized that as a substitute of solely two completely different choices, I’ve 4 completely different choices for the colours and paint decisions. So thanks for that. 😀 Simply kidding. I do love choices, so I have to suppose by way of this just a little extra.

And my desk, which began out with a black base and a darkish stained wooden high, is getting a little bit of a makeover to loosen up the look and provides it a carved leaf panel element on the edges…

So once more, after studying your feedback, I made word of the completely different recommendations for paint and coloration mixture choices that I preferred, and that I’m now contemplating. They’re…

Gold Base With White High

I believe this can be a traditional look. It’s easy, elegant, traditional, and would go nice in my studio. Right here’s an example from Homary.

This desk from Walmart has a further gold element on the white desktop, which I actually like.

So these are the to choices that I already had in thoughts, however listed here are the 2 extra choices I’m contemplating after prepared the feedback on yesterday’s publish…

White Base Wooden High

I hadn’t even thought-about this selection as a result of I’ve grown to essentially dislike the present darkish stained wooden high that’s on the desk proper now, so I used to be wanting to move in a very completely different path. However I don’t should do a stained high. I might order a chunk of walnut veneer, and simply use it in its pure coloration like I did on the vanities and cupboard in our lavatory. That will eradicate that darkish, heavy, faux stained look, and would add extra pure wooden heat to the room. It could look extra like this Keliah dining table from Wayfair.

I actually love that concept, however clearly, I wouldn’t be capable to end it over this subsequent weekend as a result of I’d have to attend for the walnut veneer to reach. However the wait may be value it! It could undoubtedly be simpler to take care of than a painted floor. And it might carry the heat of my vintage walnut woven window shades into one other a part of the room, which I like.

I believe my fake marble on our espresso desk is prettier than this fake marble on this eating desk, however this dining table from Povison exhibits what it appears like with a gold base.

So these are the 4 choices. My favourite at this very second is definitely the white base with the walnut high, however I used to be so exited concerning the prospect of ending this desk makeover within the subsequent couple of days. The concept of getting to attend for walnut veneer to reach doesn’t thrill me, however I do produce other initiatives that I can work on whereas I wait. I nonetheless have trim that must be put in and completed, and two doorways that have to be painted. So these issues might preserve me busy this weekend whereas I look forward to veneer.

I do know a number of individuals steered other ways of highlighting the leaf element on the edges of the desk. I did think about these recommendations, however ultimately, I made a decision that I favor the leaf cutout to be a refined element that’s painted the identical coloration as the remainder of the bottom moderately than having it stand out as a highlighted element. So I’ll undoubtedly be portray the entire base one coloration. I’m simply not 100% certain proper now if that coloration can be white or gold. I do know for certain that it received’t be black. Or eggplant. Or every other darkish coloration. 🙂
