Moving On To The Foyer And Bedroom – Here Are The First Projects I Need To Tackle

However listed here are a few of the first issues on the agenda. First, I have to cope with the ceiling mild within the lobby. Earlier than we began shifting partitions to sq. up the brand new rest room (again when this hallway was a lot bigger), this mild was centered on this space. Now that partitions have been moved, the sunshine is in a really awkward place that is mindless in any respect.

But when I middle it within the smaller space, it’ll be jammed proper up towards the air return vent (is that what these are referred to as?) for our HVAC. The return vent can’t be moved, in order that signifies that the sunshine must go away.

So I’m enthusiastic about including some wall sconces to the lobby as a substitute of getting a ceiling mild. I may add two sconces flanking the full-length mirror I plan to placed on this wall.

After which I may add extra lighting on this wall to the left of the closet doorway the place I plan to place an upholstered bench and paintings.

I have to assume via {that a} bit extra, however I actually do wish to eliminate the ceiling mild altogether. And that should occur earlier than I can begin placing up grasscloth wallpaper.

Additionally, the door within the bed room must be put in. That is the door I purchased…

And it’ll change the massive window on the left — the window that’s on the entrance of the home.

I do know this can be a controversial choice, but it surely’s the choice that makes me really feel peaceable. The door was purported to be put in final week whereas I used to be nonetheless on break, and I used to be so excited concerning the concept of getting back from my break and exhibiting y’all of the put in door. However the door arrived someday too late for my contractor to carry my place in line. Actually, someday too late. Ugh! So he needed to transfer on to go forward and transfer on to a different buyer, and he’ll get again to me when that challenge is completed. He stated it could be about two weeks. However clearly, that additionally must be finished earlier than I can end up the grasscloth wallpaper within the bed room.

Subsequent merchandise on the checklist that must be finished instantly is shifting the breaker field up about eight inches. It’s proper in the best way of the wainscoting that I’m planning, and I don’t wish to transfer the wainscoting down any decrease than 32 inches.

However this entire space has given me grief. I’ve been pressured about the best way to embellish round/over a steel breaker field within the bed room, however over my break, I lastly had readability on the best way to deal with it (I believe). I’ve a plan for the best way to make it disappear and make this entire space make sense. So I’m not pressured about it anymore. Nevertheless it does nonetheless have to be moved up about eight inches.

After which I have to get this attic entry taken care of. Clearly, I don’t wish to have this in our bed room, however shifting this will likely be fairly a challenge.

I would like the attic entry to go in what’s now the hallway rest room, so getting this finished will imply that I’ve truly arrived on the level that the hallway rest room wants some vital modifications. I should take away the nook cupboard and cabinets simply inside the lavatory to the best to make means for the brand new attic entry.

I’ve been procrastinating on this as a result of I like this rest room. It was the second room I reworked in our home, and I’m somewhat sentimental about it. However this will likely be a stepping stone in the direction of larger and higher issues. In order unhappy because it makes me, it’s time. The cupboard and cabinets want to come back out and the brand new attic entry must go in in order that I can proceed on with my larger plan and larger imaginative and prescient.
