Yesterday I worked on a few really boring things in my walk -in wardrobe, such as grinding the drywall lamb on the ceiling and preparing the primer and color. I realized that this really had to be done before I start on the floors, so the floors have to wait until Thursday. Anyway, after working on the ceiling for a while, my back needed a break and I really wanted to be fun. So I decided to add the adhesive lighting to the jewelry drawer and the necklace rod area.
I was so excited about it. In my head I thought it was amazing and really put this area to the next stage. Unfortunately it is not the way it turned out. Let me show you the problems I came across and you can tell me your thoughts.
I first added lights on the back wall of the neck chain area and then ran it around the entire scope of the jewelry drawer made of glass.
In this attempt I put the adhesive lights under the wooden frame for the glass frame for the glass worktop, which could get as close to the edge as I could show through the glass.
But when I stepped down and looked at it, I didn’t loved it. The first problem was actually a defective section in the lighting strip. There are two dead lights followed by four very weak lights. I have no idea why that would happen. All lights before this and after these work perfectly. I did not cut the strip near this section and only switched off the excess in the area in which it means that they can cut out the lights. But this dead spot is very striking, especially personal.
If you stand directly on the drawer, the dead area that stands from the weak area is very striking. So that was disappointing immediately. I was also disappointed that they only really illuminated the external sections of the jewelry organizers. The other sections were still quite dark.
But the light of the back of the necklace area didn’t look like I had imagined in my head. I thought the lights would let the sparkling necklaces sparkle. That didn’t happen. Instead, they just look like dark silhouettes.
So I removed the entire adhesive tape lighting and redesigned it. The tape is very sticky, but I imagine that you can only remove it and re-position it once or twice before losing its stickiness. This time I thought it could help if I wrapped the lights around the sides of the neck chain area. I also decided to add the lights on the sides and the back of the closet directly under the jewelry drawer worktop instead of having them under the top of the glass. I thought that instead of getting out of the lights, I thought that a little more light could throw in the middle of the drawer instead of just lighting the circumferential sections of the jewelry organizers.
But when I left it to look at this, it really didn’t improve the look. In addition, the dead lights were located directly in the middle of the back of the jewelry drawer. In other words, these dead lights were now in the most visible place. If I liked the idea, of course I could have exchanged this light strip for the one that worked, but I was still not sold in the overall look. Wrapping the lights on the sides of the necklace area still didn’t have the effect I was hoping for.
I also didn’t like that the light examines over the jewelry drawer …
And it also illuminates the area between the necklace and the closet. I don’t necessarily want these areas to be emphasized.
So I decided to try something else. This time I gave up the idea of lighting up the necklace area, as it didn’t turn out as I had imagined. Instead, I only added the lights of the jewelry drawer. I liked that better, and the good thing is that this arrangement only required the section of the light to this dead stain in the rank of light, so that I could completely cut it off.
But I still haven’t loved the light that seems just over the drawer.
So I just don’t know. It is disappointing to have an idea that looks so good in my head, but in reality it just doesn’t work as I had imagined. Should I give up the idea completely? Do you have any suggestions? I just don’t do it right? Should I use different lights?
I still like the idea of somehow to shed light on the necklace department, but the light from behind is not the answer. It seems to me that it is the right way to illuminate them from above, but that means that lights have to be attached to the underside of the drawer, as this is the only one over the necklace. And if I attach lights to the underside of the drawer, they cannot be dressed because I have to pull out the drawer. I could try a kind of battery -operated lights so that the whole thing can be attached to the underside of the drawer without the light being connected, but then I think that everything gets too complicated. Battery -operated lights would not take very long, and then I would change the batteries regularly. That seems silly.
At this point I am trying to completely give up the idea unless someone has a great suggestion for how I can save this idea. Maybe the answer is obvious and I just can’t see it. What do you say
In the meantime, I will prepare the ceiling and paint, prepare the back wall for wallpapers (it also needs a bit of grinding) and the entire bedroom suite cleared and cleaned and ready for the grinding of the floor. Since I missed my opportunity yesterday to make the grinding, I have to do the next opportunity on Thursday, as this is my next full, uninterrupted working day. I really don’t want to rent the Sanders for more than 24 hours. On the day I do it, I have to have everything ready the night before so that I can be home first in the morning to rent the Sanders and use them all day. I’m striving on Thursday, but when I don’t finish everything, when I go to bed on Wednesday evening, I’ll strive for Friday. At least that’s the plan. But you know how plans are going.
