My Plan For A Full Desk Makeover

I’ve spent just a few days now engaged on my pendant gentle to go over my desk within the studio, however I’ve additionally been doing fairly a little bit of fascinated by how I need to make over the desk. For some time now, I’ve been planning to color the desk. However I additionally purchased some drawers that connect underneath the desktop to have easy accessibility to pens, pencils, post-it notes, and so forth. So I additionally needed to assume by how I used to be going to cover these drawers.

I would like the desk to be lighter, brighter, and to look extra female. I’m nonetheless undecided concerning the colours. I’ll go all white, or I’ll do white and gold. I haven’t selected that but. However what I do know is that I need to find yourself with one thing extra like this desk from Wayfair., with a comparatively open again, however fairly panels on the perimeters.

So I plan to take away the “V” design from the again of the desk, and transfer the underside horizontal assist as much as the highest, after which add helps on the facet on the identical top. I’ll add plywood panels inside that space to cover the drawers, so that you received’t truly be capable to see by that high space.

I’ll go away the again open, however then I want so as to add some ornamental panels within the sides.

And that’s so far as my plan has gotten in my thoughts. I’ve been on-line a number of instances over the past week on the lookout for the right wooden panels to go in these areas, and I’m simply having such a tough time making a call. Listed here are some potentialities.

I’ve to understand that any panels I purchase must be reduce all the way down to measurement, so I received’t be left with the entire design. But when I can discover one which’s large enough to get either side out of 1 panel, it’d make the mission cheaper. For instance Kirkland’s has this large panel that’s large enough that I may reduce it in half and use every half on all sides of the desk. I’d flip every half vertically in order that the flowers are going up as an alternative of rising sideways.

In order that’s my imaginative and prescient and my plan. I’m simply having such a tough time discovering the fitting panel(s) to make use of. The half I’m actually not sure about is whether I ought to use panels which might be extra geometric or panels which might be extra floral in design. I form of like the thought of bringing a floral element to this space of the room, however I additionally don’t need floral overload. And I at all times like a geometrical sample used with a floral sample, so that concept appeals to me as effectively.

Anyway, that’s the plan, and I’m on the hunt for the right wood panel(s) that I can use on the perimeters of my desk. I’m actually excited to get began on that makeover. Lightening up the colour and design of that desk will go a good distance in the direction of making that space look completed. And actually, as soon as I get the sunshine completed, the desk and the chair are the ultimate huge tasks for the room! I can see the end line!
