I completely hit a wall yesterday. I had to be at a meeting yesterday morning at 9:00 a.m., so I got up at 6:00 a.m., wrote yesterday’s blog post and published it earlier than usual, made me ready, made me sure that Matt needed everything he needed while I was gone and went out of the door. After my meeting, I brought us lunch, brought it home, ate it and then out of nowhere a wall of exhaustion hit me like a tidal wave. I was so exhausted that I had the feeling that I didn’t even have enough energy to form coherent thoughts or to put one foot in front of another. So I made a three -hour nap. The sun. On a weekday.
I am not a napty person at all. It is incredibly rare for me to make a nap on a weekend. This is about a unique event that could happen on a Sunday afternoon. But make a nap On a weekday? This is absolutely unknown to me. But yesterday I had no other option. If I had tried to make myself working, I would have made so many mistakes.
However, all of this to say that in the last two sections on the right side of the room I still have to make the second layer of paint. It shouldn’t take long. But I couldn’t end the day without ending the middle section with the wallpaper. I wanted to end the wallpaper, install the cladding, hang the mirror and install the wall lights. That is what I worked on in these hours between Naptime and bedtime.
I have dreamed of this section of the closet for so long, and I have to say that this is even better than what I imagined in my head all the time. I can’t stop staring it. I can’t walk past this room without stopping and looking into it to admire how it turned out.
In the end I used the lower parts on the kick, but I used my miter saw to cut them off considerably. They are less than half the length they were originally.
I thought that the original pieces were absurd long, but I also agreed to many of them that it looked incomplete when I completely removed these pieces.
So I thought it was a good compromise to cut them down. By cutting with my miter, the ends looked a bit brown and broken, so I still have to paint the cut ends a little.
I just love everything in this section, from the necklace bar to the jewelry drawer with the semi-box jewelry drawer to the wallpaper …everything. I love it when a vision turns into reality.
As many of them suggested, I also carried the wallpaper to the top of this cabinet section. I hadn’t planned that. In every single model that I showed from this section, I always showed a painted top …
When I showed the Tapete section very excited yesterday and suggested so many that I wallpapered the top, I have to admit that I was a bit annoyed. (My exhaustion yesterday probably made it worse ). But you were on the right. It looks so much better when the wallpaper is worn up.
But because I had already cut the wallpaper around the top, I still had to add the top around the top. I brought the wallpaper to the Home Depot and made it color with the darkest blue in the paper in a sample size of matt colors, and I used it to paint the shoe formula that I used in the hope that it would somehow disappear. I also used my table saw to tear down the shoe strap even smaller than its normal size so that it can be as small as possible while still covering the wallpaper cut over the cut edges. I was still able to match the pattern, and when I looked at the section as a whole, this stretcher disappears.
I still have to fill the nail holes in this cladding and build up. As soon as that is finished, I don’t think it will be noticed at all.
I also had the cladding painted and fastened to cover the cut edges of the wallpaper along the floor.
These nail holes have to be filled and built up, and I will also be calves and painting where the cladding hits the worktop, so that it inserts more than now. But at least I don’t have to look at these cut wallpaper edges.
And of course the mirror will of course reflect the pretty things – blue cupboards on the other side of the room, with my clothes hanging in these sections. At the moment we have to see unfinished cupboards, my ladder, my working light, etc., but I can’t get enough of this wallpaper!
I was a bit worried that the mirror could cover up too much of the wall pressure, but I think the perfect amount of wallpaper shows in this section. And I love what my white lights look against the dark background of the wallpaper.
And of course it will look even better as soon as I increased more lighting to the room. At the moment it still looks pretty dark here.
And these lights don’t even have electricity. I am still trying to decide how I want to have all the lights, how can I switch and which lights I want to be controlled by which switch.
I was also a bit unsure what the gray jewelry drawer would look like as soon as everything was finished. I mentioned in an earlier contribution that I could use a coral accent color for the drawer. But in the end I am very happy that I went with a light gray so that the drawer does not distract too much attention from the wallpaper and other pretty objects. I think the gray worked perfectly.
And this necklace -bar must be my favorite matter. I love it how my necklaces transformed into an art installation below the worktop.
The toughest and most detailed part of the room is ready, minus a few smaller improvements.
Well, I think that’s not quite true. I still have an entire island to build. But the hardest and most detailed part of the Perimeter cabinets is ready. And it turned out even better than I was hoping.
