Walk-In Closet Progress – Wallpaper, Sconces, Mirror, and Trim

I’ve dreamed about this part of the closet for thus lengthy, and I’ve to say, this turned out even higher than what I’ve envisioned in my thoughts all this time. I can’t cease gazing it. I can’t stroll by this room with out stopping and peeking in to admire how this turned out.

I did find yourself utilizing the underside items on the sconces, however I used my miter noticed to chop them down significantly. They’re lower than half the size that they have been initially.

I believed that the unique items have been absurdly lengthy, however I additionally agreed with lots of you that it appeared unfinished if I eliminated these items fully.

So I believed that reducing them down was a very good compromise. Slicing them with my miter noticed left the ends trying a bit brown and chipped, so I nonetheless must do some paint touchup on the lower ends.

I simply love every little thing about this part, from the necklace bar to the jewellery drawer with the semi-custom jewellery drawer inserts, to the wallpaper…every little thing. I find it irresistible when a imaginative and prescient turns into actuality.

As lots of you advised, I additionally carried the wallpaper onto the highest of that cupboard part. I hadn’t deliberate to do this. In each single mockup I confirmed of this part, I all the time confirmed a painted prime…

So after I very excitedly confirmed the wallpapered part yesterday, and so many advised that I wallpaper the highest, I’ve to confess that I used to be a bit irritated. (My exhaustion yesterday most likely made it worse 😀 ). However y’all have been proper. It appears so significantly better with the wallpaper carried to the highest.

However as a result of I had already lower the wallpaper across the prime, I nonetheless had so as to add trim across the prime. I took the wallpaper to Residence Depot and had them shade match the darkest blue within the paper in a pattern measurement of matte paint, and I used that to color the shoe molding that I utilized in hopes that it might type of disappear. I additionally used my desk noticed to tear the shoe molding even smaller than its regular measurement in order that it may very well be as small as doable whereas nonetheless masking over the lower edges of the wallpaper. I used to be nonetheless capable of match the sample, and when trying on the part as an entire, that trim type of disappears.

I nonetheless must fill and contact up the nail holes in that trim. As soon as that’s accomplished, I don’t assume it’ll stand out in any respect.

I additionally acquired the trim painted and hooked up alongside the underside to cowl the lower edges of the wallpaper alongside the underside.

These nail holes additionally should be crammed and touched up, and I’ll additionally caulk and paint the place the trim meets the countertop, so it is going to additionally mix in additional than it does now. However at the least I don’t should maintain taking a look at these lower wallpaper edges.

And, in fact, very quickly the mirror will replicate fairly issues — blue cupboards on the opposite aspect of the room with my garments hanging in these sections. For now, we’ve to see unfinished cupboards, my ladder, my work mild, and so on. 😀 However I can’t get sufficient of this wallpaper!

I had been slightly bit involved that the mirror would possibly cowl up an excessive amount of of the wallpaper print, however I believe the right quantity of wallpaper exhibits on this part. And I really like how my white sconces look in opposition to the darkish background of the wallpaper.

And naturally, it’ll look even higher as soon as I get extra lighting added to the room. Proper now, it nonetheless appears fairly darkish in right here.

And people sconces don’t even have electrical energy but. I’m nonetheless making an attempt to resolve how I would like the entire lighting wired, how could switches I would like, and which lights I need to be managed by which swap.

I used to be additionally a bit not sure how the grey jewellery drawer would look as soon as every little thing was completed. I had talked about in a earlier put up that I would use a coral accent shade for the drawer. However in the long run, I’m very glad that I went with a light-weight grey in order that the drawer doesn’t draw an excessive amount of consideration away from the wallpaper and different fairly gadgets. I believe the grey labored out completely.

And this necklace bar needs to be my favourite factor. I really like the way it turns my necklaces into what appears like an artwork set up beneath the countertop.

So the toughest and most detailed a part of the room is completed, minus just a few minor touchups.

Nicely, I suppose that’s not fully true. I do nonetheless have an entire island to construct. However the hardest and most detailed a part of the perimeter cupboards is completed. And it turned out even higher than I had hoped.
