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

First, I wrote just a few weeks in the past in regards to the headboard that I plan to make for the bed room. In case you’re new round right here, this can be 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 like proper now.

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

Anyway, in that put up in regards to the headboard design choices, my foremost difficulty was that the material I’ll be utilizing isn’t extensive sufficient to cowl the width of a queen dimension headboard with out having to seam the material collectively. However after a few individuals despatched me footage of upholstered headboards completed by skilled upholsterers that did have seams in them, however that have been completed very nicely 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 high curved part in the course of the headboard. This extra streamlined design matches me a bit higher, I believe. Y’all understand how I have a tendency in direction of squares and rectangles over circles, ovals, and plenty of curves. This design offers me each, however with out it being too heavy on the curves. These two curved areas on the corners will give simply the correct quantity of wanted softness to the design.

However I’ve determined to go together with a distinction welt across the facet and high edges of the headboard, and it simply so occurs that I’ve a number of yards of a strong material that appears prefer it’ll work for that, pictured on the appropriate facet of the image under.

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 colour, however I made a decision to go together with the teal colour known as French, which was the lighter of the 2 teals I used to be contemplating. The darker one is known as 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 can be loads of alternative to herald accent colours with throws, a pillow, paintings on the wall behind it, and many others. I believe that is the appropriate colour to make use of to steadiness that nook of the room.

Now on to the closet island colour resolution. I noticed fairly shortly, as I used to be studying by means 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 follow Billowy Breeze. The opposite 40% of you have been type of far and wide, with strategies starting from one of many pinks, yellow, inexperienced, navy blue, and many others. However a strong 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 colour within the room as soon as I usher in my sneakers, purses, and garments, made numerous sense.

After which after I introduced within the plywood for the highest of the island and noticed simply how large 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 high that matches the physique of the dresser. If the physique is painted, the highest is usually (however not at all times) painted the identical colour.

However as soon as it’s completed, and since it’s so large 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 focus. 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 nicely. I don’t need any counter tops standing out and grabbing consideration. However I can be making a bit of one thing to take a seat on the island countertop that can be painted in one of many pink colours. That approach, that colour will be delivered to the middle of the room, however it’ll simply be an accent and never a monstrous island in a colour that dominates the entire room.

I in all probability nonetheless have not less than 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 an entire, uninterrupted workday forward of me, and I’ve all the provides wanted to complete this construct already available. So hopefully, I received’t need to waste any a part of at present with extra journeys to Residence Depot or Lowe’s. I hope to have a great deal of progress to share with you tomorrow!

Aspect notice: I updated yesterday’s post this morning with the instance of the craze bait Fb put up as a result of I noticed it but once more this morning after I opened up the app on my telephone. I’ve seen it no fewer than ten occasions now on totally different pages, and it’s only one instance of in all probability tens of 1000’s of posts prefer it.
