Decisions – Headboard Design, Recliner Color, Closet Island Color, and Countertop Design

First, I wrote a couple of weeks in the past concerning the headboard that I plan to make for the bed room. If you happen to’re new round right here, it is a mockup I did to point out the final path that I’ll be heading as soon as I get began on the bed room makeover.

And as a reminder, that is what the bed room appears to be like like proper now.

The striped partitions are left over from when this room was our dwelling fitness center. I cherished these stripes for a house fitness center, however that’s by no means the look I would like in our bed room, so these should go. And so they’ll get replaced with creamy white wainscoting and a wealthy teal grasscloth wallpaper.

Anyway, in that publish concerning the headboard design choices, my primary challenge was that the material I’ll be utilizing isn’t large sufficient to cowl the width of a queen measurement headboard with out having to seam the material collectively. However after a few individuals despatched me photos of upholstered headboards performed by skilled upholsterers that did have seams in them, however that have been performed very properly with completely matched patterns, I’ve determined that I’m going to stay with the totally upholstered headboard possibility. And that is the design I’ve selected.

That’s principally the identical design I put within the mockup, minus that prime curved part in the course of the headboard. This extra streamlined design matches me a bit higher, I feel. Y’all understand how I have a tendency in the direction of squares and rectangles over circles, ovals, and plenty of curves. This design provides me each, however with out it being too heavy on the curves. These two curved areas on the corners will give simply the correct amount of wanted softness to the design.

However I’ve determined to go together with a distinction welt across the aspect and prime edges of the headboard, and it simply so occurs that I’ve a number of yards of a stable material that appears prefer it’ll work for that, pictured on the best aspect of the image beneath.

Additionally, I don’t assume I ever confirmed you the material that I selected for the recliner within the bed room. I do know I’ll disappoint a few of you who have been hoping that I’d go together with the coral coloration, however I made a decision to go together with the teal coloration referred to as French, which was the lighter of the 2 teals I used to be contemplating. The darker one is named Sapphire.

So that is what the recliner will seem like. It’s the Jude recliner from Interior Define (affiliate hyperlink), which occurs to be 25% off proper now.

However needless to say there shall be loads of alternative to herald accent colours with throws, a pillow, paintings on the wall behind it, and so forth. I feel that is the best coloration to make use of to steadiness that nook of the room.

Now on to the closet island coloration resolution. I noticed fairly shortly, as I used to be studying by way of the feedback, that I’m going to disappoint about half of you no matter what resolution I make. However the overwhelming favourite from everybody who commented was… (drum roll, please)…

…Billowy Breeze. About 60% of you stated I ought to persist with Billowy Breeze. The opposite 40% of you have been sort of all over, with options starting from one of many pinks, yellow, inexperienced, navy blue, and so forth. However a stable 60% of you stated to stay with Billowy Breeze, in order that’s what I’m going to do. Your factors about there being a lot extra coloration within the room as soon as I usher in my footwear, purses, and garments, made a variety of sense.

After which after I introduced within the plywood for the highest of the island and noticed simply how huge this completed piece goes to be within the room, I additionally made one other resolution. I’m going to color your complete factor, together with the highest, in Billowy Breeze.

I’m, in spite of everything, constructing this to seem like a double-sided dresser, and most (however not all) dressers have a prime that matches the physique of the dresser. If the physique is painted, the highest is usually (however not all the time) painted the identical coloration.

However as soon as it’s performed, and since it’s so huge and sits proper within the middle of the room, this island goes to be so dominant that I don’t need such a big, white (and even marbled) countertop being the main target. So, it’ll be Billowy Breeze throughout. Will probably be color-drenched, certainly!

And that implies that I’ll even be portray the counter tops over the washer and dryer with Billowy Breeze as properly. I don’t need any counter tops standing out and grabbing consideration. However I shall be making a bit one thing to sit down on the island countertop that shall be painted in one of many pink colours. That manner, that coloration will be delivered to the middle of the room, however it’ll simply be an accent and never a monstrous island in a coloration that dominates the entire room.

I most likely nonetheless have at the least three days of constructing left on the island earlier than I may even get to the priming and portray, however I’m glad to have that call made! And I’ve a complete, uninterrupted workday forward of me, and I’ve all the provides wanted to complete this construct already available. So hopefully, I received’t should waste any a part of at the moment with extra journeys to House Depot or Lowe’s. I hope to have a great deal of progress to share with you tomorrow!

Facet observe: I updated yesterday’s post this morning with the instance of the craze bait Fb publish as a result of I noticed it but once more this morning after I opened up the app on my cellphone. I’ve seen it no fewer than ten occasions now on completely different pages, and it’s only one instance of most likely tens of hundreds of posts prefer it.
