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

Thus far, 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 have to drill holes and fasten 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 have to drill holes and fasten 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 fasten them to rings.

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

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

However look what I discovered…and acquired!

As quickly as I noticed these, I assumed they may be good. They give the impression of being similar to the darker inexperienced leaves within the wallpaper mural.

I really like that! It’s like these had been made for my desk! Nicely, sort of. I completely love the design, and I believe they’ll be good as soon as they’re integrated into the design and every part is painted the identical coloration.

However, as you possibly can see right here, the cutout design is about an inch too quick.

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 good to cross up!

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

I beloved that concept! As an alternative of in search of a contrasting coloration, I beloved the concept 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 might discover from KOVI. Clearly, one in every of them was a right away “no”.

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

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

So then I used to be down to 3, and I attempted to find out which one seemed greatest not solely with the cupboards, but in addition with the darkest crimson coloration on the pendant mild. My eye retains going to the center swatch.

I’ll present you a detailed up of every one. The far proper swatch has some variation in coloration which just about makes the velvet look shimmery, but it surely’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 cloth, 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 have to decide in regards to the cloth. As of this second, the center one is the winner for me.
