Bedroom Completion Checklist (Here’s What I Still Need To Do In The Room)

I’m so near being completed with our bed room. I’ve only a few extra gadgets to examine off of my checklist earlier than it’s completed, and I’ve reached that time of the venture the place it looks like an enormous lull as a result of whereas I’m persevering with to work on these initiatives every day, I don’t actually have thrilling progress to share with you every day. So that is the purpose of the venture the place I begin to get questions like, “Wait. Did I miss the bed room reveal? Are you completed?”

No, you didn’t miss something. It’s so shut, nevertheless it’s not fairly there. Listed here are the gadgets I nonetheless have on my “to do” checklist for the bed room.

First, I nonetheless have to hem all 4 material panels. All 4 panels are sewn and hanging, however they give the impression of being actually sloppy proper now as a result of they’re not hemmed, and I nonetheless want to connect the returns to the wall.

I typically simply make all of my material panels for a window or a room to at least one particular size after which grasp them, however as a result of the flooring on this specific room are probably the most unlevel flooring in our whole home, I’ve determined that the hem in every panel must be pinned whereas hanging in order that they give the impression of being proper for that individual space within the room. If I sewed these all to the identical size, some would look proper whereas others would look too lengthy or too quick. *Sigh* If for no different purpose, I’ll be so glad to be completed with this room in order that I don’t must work with these unlevel flooring anymore. As soon as the whole lot is completed, I don’t suppose the unlevel flooring can be apparent, however they’ve positive made this venture, from the trim to the draperies, a lot tougher.

The opposite very apparent venture that I nonetheless have to do is to cowl up the attic entry.

That is a kind of initiatives that I’ve dragged my ft on as a result of I simply dread it. I don’t know why, although. It’s going to actually require me to connect three items of trim. That’s it. Simply three items of trim. It’s going to most likely take me all of 1 hour to get this utterly completed, and that features the caulking and portray. And but, I’ve put it off this lengthy. I don’t know why there are initiatives that I dread a lot even once I know they’ll be tremendous easy to complete.

After which I want to color my little aspect desk. I attempted a wood-look end, nevertheless it’s nonetheless very apparent to me that it’s a metallic desk, in order that received’t do. I’m going to color it gold and be completed with it.

That’s a easy sufficient venture, however I actually ought to have completed that earlier than the climate turned. So now I simply have to attend for it to heat up sufficient in order that I can get exterior and paint. I hope to do this tomorrow. It’s alleged to be within the 60s through the afternoon tomorrow, so I can’t miss that window of alternative.

However from the start, I’ve needed the chook material to be featured extra prominently within the room. I’ve been ready to see how the room would form as much as make my ultimate resolution on simply how I needed to make use of the remainder of the material. Initially, I believed I’d reupholster that second bench from the breakfast room with the chook material and put that bench on the foot of the mattress. However now that we’ve been dwelling on this room for a few weeks, I’ve determined that I don’t need or want one other piece of furnishings in right here.

Then I thought-about making a easy throw or small quilt with the additional material. However after giving it a bit of extra thought, I lastly determined to simply make a quilt cowl out of it. And since I need it to match the pillows — chook material with inexperienced trim — I needed to order extra inexperienced material to trim out the quilt cowl. I’ve the whole lot I want for that now, so I’m hoping to get that completed within the subsequent few days. This can be my first time to make quilt cowl, however I can’t think about that it’s tough.

So right here’s what my ultimate punch checklist appears to be like like:

• Hem the material panels and connect the returns to the partitions;
• Trim out the attic entry;
• Paint the aspect desk;
• Make a quilt cowl;
• Paint the outlet covers;
• Add trim by the door.
