I heading in direction of the end line on our residence fitness center, though when you had been to see the room at this time (which I’m about to point out you), you’ll by no means assume this room is close to completion. Let’s simply say that during the last 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 on an entire lot of ground area. Then I had to purchase some trim and convey it in. There’s remnants from the closet flooring challenge, and the dresser makeover challenge. It’s a large number, however I’ll get it cleaned up at this time. I’ve to as a result of Matt must have entry to the toilet tomorrow morning, and thru our residence fitness center 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 best 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 believe if I combine and match the items, I can salvage one complete 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 alternative wall is meant to be right here at this time. Hopefully, it can arrive in a single piece.
I spent plenty of time studying by way of your entire feedback on yesterday’s publish, and arising with a plan for the closet space. And I’ve one! I believe it’s a really stable plan, nevertheless it wasn’t any of the three that I proposed. It’s really a unique plan that a lot of you prompt, and that I hadn’t even thought of. That’s why I really like crowdsourcing for concepts! 😀
The plan is to color the entire closet — facet partitions, primary wall, and perhaps even the ceiling — a stable colour, however not a colour chosen from the strips in the primary a part of the room. It’ll be a unique stable colour that will of you prompt.
So I headed to House Depot to select a paint colour primarily based 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. Really, 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 mentioned the distinction is that Limousine Leather-based has extra black in it than Black. 😀 I assumed 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 below a stable coat of paint. So earlier than portray, I needed to sand these clean. I made fairly the mess, as you may see from the carpet, however I’ve full confidence that each one of that can vacuum up simply.
And in addition earlier than portray, I needed to set up the ceiling lights. I nonetheless needed to minimize the holes within the drywall for the lights, so creating drywall mud completely needed to be completed earlier than portray the partitions black. Might 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 appear to be after they’re on, no less than for now. I’m positive portray the partitions black will impact how shiny these lights look.
In order that’s so far as I received yesterday. You’ll should examine in on Monday to see how this seems as soon as it’s all painted. I believe it’ll look nice! It’s the one stable colour that made any sense to me, and I’m so glad that so a lot of you prompt 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! 😀
