Things move on my DIY-accessible wardrobe. I did a lot over the weekend, but I hardly started with the exciting part – the color on the left side of the room. But at least I did all of the not so upset stuff on this page (which I am on the right side in the photo below .
I got all the corners and trimmed degrees (ie the part that had to be made with a brush). And I sanded everything. I did the entire grinding by hand with 220 grit sand paper to make sure that everything was as smooth as possible and ready to paint. As soon as all of this was done, I only had about 45 minutes last night before going to bed, so I used this time to finish at least a little bit of the painting.
I have an entire uninterrupted working day in front of me, so my goal is the Get -The -Link side with two layers of paint today. And if I still have time at the end of the day, I would like to have my hanging rods installed. This side of the closet is much easier because on this page there are far fewer shelves. Apart from unforeseen circumstances, I am pretty sure that I can make it.
I can add some shelves later when I need them, but at the moment I have decided to hang up just a few pretty works of art, add decorative lighting and finished it.
I liked this idea very much, but the thought of having to do new works of art and lighting or buying was really frustrating. I had searched online for different types of lighting, and all the lighting that really appealed to me seemed to be at least 200 US dollars per light. The idea of output $ 400 for two decorative lights made me feel really frustrated.
At some point during every large project or space conversion, I met a wall with my expenses. I only come to a point where I think, “I spent enough money and don’t want to spend money on this room anymore.I am far behind this point in this walk -in wardrobe, so I couldn’t get myself to push this “Checkout” button on one of my lighting out elections. And while I like to do works of art, I would rather put the time in creating works of art for our bedroom or foyer, not for my walk -in wardrobe. I would like to complete this project as soon as possible and go to these other areas.
And then last weekend I stood at the sink in the kitchen and stared at this wall, as I always do when I stood on the sink.
I started thinking about my future plans for the breakfast room, which will eventually be our new kitchen, and as it meant that I could no longer use these two works of art or these lights here, since this whole wall was removed at some point.
I love these two screens I made. You list the fruit of the spirit from the Bible verse found in Chapter 5 of the Book of the Galatian Bible, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, loyalty, gentleness and self-control. I did this work of art for a time in 2021 when I was really emotionally struggling, and my fights had a very negative impact on my attitude. And my attitude influenced the way I treated matt and had to do with his daily fights with MS. It was a very negative snowball effect. So I made these canvases so that as a daily memory of the middle, they can be meditating regularly. And do you know what? It helped me enormously when I went through this difficult season in my life. (I shared more about it here.)
I thought I would somehow had no room for them, somehow made me sad. But then it became clear to me. I need works of art for my closet! And I need lighting for my closet! Could these possibly work there? I brought one of them to see what they would look like with the wallpaper, and … I love it !!
There is something to say to keep a color palette consistent from one room to another. It is so practical if you can simply move things from one room to another and you still work because they are always put on variations of the same colors in the entire house.
Maybe I have to do something else with the frame. At the moment they have very thin black frames. I will either paint them in the dark navy blau, which I used on the cladding in the tape section, or I replace them with thin gold frame (or gold leaf). I haven’t decided yet. And I will get the lights in the closet up and running with a few layers of white spray paint. For very little money (only the cost of spray paint) I have works of art and lighting for the closet! And I can keep this very sensible work of art in a place where I will see it regularly.
You will find that I left the canvas in the breakfast room in which “self -control” was listed very comfortably. Maybe I should really have brought it here because … my self -control this weekend only partially endured. I mentioned last week that I was careful to include my handbags and shoes here and on your shelves, but that would be a really stupid thing because I still have to grind the floor. I was hoping that my self -control would endure over the weekend.
I held on my shoes. I have far too many shoes to bring them here just to have to take them out before I loop the floors. But I just couldn’t wait for the handbags. Fortunately, I don’t have nearly as many handbags, so I only made two trips from my studio to bring them all here. But I was far too curious to see how they would all look on the light blue shelves next to the tapeed section to endure them longer.
I played around with various options, arranging them, but then I set off and focused on getting the rest of the cupboards ready. I was able to easily waste this kind of funny trains for a whole day, so my self -control finally entered again and I was busy with the real work.
But when I speak of floors, I got some frustrating news. As I already mentioned, the reason why I did not do the floors first (which would have been the logical thing) because one of the products I ordered was on the background. I had hoped to use a product called Bona Red Out that reduces the red under tones in the red oak floors and make them look more like white oak. Immediately after ordering it, I was told that it would take a few days too late because Bona’s availability was lacking. But at the end of last week I received another e -mail in which Bona does not know when the Red Out will be available. * Sigh* I could continue to wait without the shipping date not available at this time, or I could cancel my order.
I decided to cancel my order and make the soils without red. The good news is that all red oak floors I have seen with the Bona products (the floors that convinced me to go with the Bona Natural) without the Red Out. I really loved all those who were done without Red Out, so I will take my risk and also do without the red on my soils. Fortunately, the Bona Natural, which I selected two weeks ago (and two weeks ago), knows in it, so that the red oak alone lights and brightens. I will simply advance with it and I am sure I will love the result. I loved it in all the pictures and videos I saw, so I am confident that I will love my soils without the Bona Red Out. I mean, if it is not available, I can’t really do anything, and I can’t stop this project while waiting for an unknown shipping date.
So as soon as I finished the other side of the cupboards, my plan is to let them dry for a few days, and then I will cover the cupboards with plastic and then start on the soils. It will be a big job, but it has to be done before I hang the rest of the wallpaper in the closet. And the floor is also what stands in the way and bring the washing machine and the dryer into the closet.
It’s a little disappointing, but it’s a little disappointment. I just have to go ahead. And I am sure that when you are done, I will be enthusiastic about the finished floors, even if you are a slight piece of redders than what I was hoping for. At least they will be light and bright, and that was my main goal.
