I didn’t get any work carried out on the closet yesterday (I don’t work on Wednesdays), so I’m altering path at this time and sharing some random ideas about future initiatives that I’ve been dreaming about the previous couple of days.
Proper now, we don’t have any house in our home for a desk and chairs. When it’s simply Matt and me in the home, it’s not an issue. If Matt and I are consuming collectively, I’m usually standing or sitting by him and serving to him along with his meal whereas he sits in mattress (which is presently in our breakfast room whereas our bed room suite is underneath building), and I’m standing on the kitchen peninsula to eat my meals. If I’m consuming on my own for some cause, I usually sit at my desk and eat whereas multitasking.
However each on occasion, I do miss having a desk and chairs. When my mother came to visit on Monday to assist me clear the instruments and dirt out of the closet, she introduced lunch. I actually hated not having a desk and chairs the place we might sit and revel in our meal collectively. So we each stood on the kitchen peninsula to eat. It was high quality, however I dream of the day that I can have a correct place for a eating desk and chairs.
So to refresh your reminiscence, my speedy purpose is to get our bed room suite utterly completed. That implies that I want to complete up these previous few initiatives within the walk-in closet. After that, I’ll work on the lobby and bed room. After which I’ll end up the bed room suite (for now) by making some modifications within the hallway lavatory.
After that, I’ll flip my consideration to my workshop, which presently seems cute on the surface…
However the inside my workshop is a clean canvas. I wish to get it utterly arrange and prepared for the large undertaking that can come after that, which is constructing a model new kitchen.
The brand new kitchen will go in our present breakfast room and pantry. The present studio lavatory might be a walk-through pantry for straightforward entry to the again studio doorways and carport. And eventually, the present kitchen will turn into a eating room with a correct desk and chairs. Should you want a visible, that is the long-term purpose. Thos flooring plan consists of the longer term addition, with a brand new lounge, visitor lavatory, and visitor bed room (which we’ll use as a house gymnasium initially). That addition would be the ultimate large undertaking after every little thing throughout the present footprint of our house is completed.
And all of that brings me to the mural that I purchased one 12 months in the past, and nonetheless stay rolled up within the field it got here in. I’ve by no means carried out this earlier than, however I purchased the mural as a result of it simply appeared prefer it belonged in our house. However I purchased it with none particular use in thoughts. It got here from Anthropologie, and is not obtainable, so there’s no possibility of shopping for one other one. Which means I’ve to discover a use for the one mural I’ve, which is 10′ excessive and 20′ vast. The mural seems like this…
Once I purchased it, I had a number of totally different choices for the place to make use of it, together with our new bed room, the bed room suite lobby, and so forth. I additionally had another concepts, as a result of on the time, I used to be nonetheless contemplating turning the present pantry right into a laundry room. However over the past 12 months, our plans have modified, and our plan for our home within the flooring plan above is just about written in stone at this level. Additionally, over the past 12 months, the general design plan for the bed room suite has come collectively, and there’s no room for a wall mural in that plan.
So I’m down to 2 areas now. The primary and most blatant place for it’s on the entryway wall.
Proper now, the entryway wall seems like this…
If I exploit it there, I’d hold the console desk, sconces (most likely with a distinct colour on the shades), and every little thing else would go in order that the mural might actually shine. I’d nonetheless use one thing on the wall above the console desk, however it will be one giant, framed merchandise, most likely a mirror.
And as you’ll be able to see from the reflection within the mirror within the photograph above, that entryway wall is instantly throughout from the fireside wall in the lounge.
I feel that mural could be stunning on that entry wall, and my pink curtains in the lounge ties in superbly with the pink flowers within the mural.
The second potential spot remaining for the mural is that this wall sooner or later eating room.
Proper now, that wall seems like this…
However as soon as the kitchen is moved over into the breakfast room and pantry areas, these cupboards might be eliminated, and I’ll be left with a plain wall. I would like that wall to stay stable (i.e., no cased opening), so it’s good for a mural. I need a buffet (maybe the buffet I have already got) on that wall, and I have already got wiring for wall sconces, so these will stay as nicely, though I’ll get new sconces. So this wall is one other good candidate for the mural, and I feel it will be an amazing leaping off level for adorning the eating room.
If I apply it to the longer term eating room wall, it can nonetheless be seen from the lounge, and people pink curtains will nonetheless coordinate superbly with the pink flowers within the mural.
Anyway, these are the ideas and plans which have been swirling round in my thoughts these previous few days. These initiatives are nonetheless a great distance off as a result of I’m not even midway carried out with the bed room suite but, after which organising my workshop will take fairly a little bit of time. So I nonetheless have numerous time to finalize all of those particulars. Proper now, I really like each of those concepts. I’m unsure if I’ve a favourite but. I like each concepts just about equally. So solely time will inform the place I land on this in the long run. I positively wish to use that mural, although. It seems prefer it was created for me personally, so I wish to use it in considered one of these two locations.
Addicted 2 Adorning is the place I share my DIY and adorning journey as I rework and adorn the 1948 fixer higher that my husband, Matt, and I purchased in 2013. Matt has M.S. and is unable to do bodily work, so I do nearly all of the work on the home on my own. You can learn more about me here.
