The New Foyer Light Is Up!

For those who’ll keep in mind, I needed to transfer the sunshine within the lobby. This lobby was once a lot bigger than it’s now, so the ceiling junction field for the sunshine was not centered within the lobby.

So after taking that gentle down, putting in a junction field within the right spot, and transferring the wire over to the brand new field, I used this drywall patch to cowl over the opening for the previous junction field.

Actually, I didn’t even take away the previous junction field as a result of it was a brand new work field, which meant that it was put in place earlier than the drywall went up. So getting it out would have precipitated extra harm to the drywall, and that will have required much more restore. So I simply left the previous steel junction field proper the place it’s, caught this patch over it, after which utilized the drywall mud on prime.

And as you possibly can see, it nonetheless must be sanded, primed, and painted. I had hoped to get that achieved yesterday, however the drywall mud was nonetheless moist after I went to mattress final evening. So I’ll must get that achieved this weekend.

However right here is the brand new gentle, and I completely adore it!

Because it seems, I received’t have to show the HVAC consumption vent round in spite of everything. There’s about an inch of house between the vent cowl and the sunshine, so it opens freely with out banging into the sunshine.

In fact, I nonetheless want to wash the vent cowl. 😀 I’m making an attempt to maintain the filter modified frequently as I’m nonetheless engaged on dusty tasks, however I’m not going to take the time to wash the vent cowl till all the dusty tasks are completed. I’m so shut!! However I simply created another dusty undertaking with that drywall patch on the ceiling.

This light is from Wayfair (affiliate hyperlink), and total, I actually adore it. However I might give it about an 8 out of 10 score for 2 causes.

And second, the ring that goes on the ceiling (i.e., the cover, or magnificence ring, or no matter it’s known as) is product of very skinny steel. I wasn’t happy with that in any respect. The remainder of the sunshine is effectively made, however that cover simply feels skinny and low-cost, prefer it may bend simply. Fortunately, I managed to get it put in with out damaging it. And as soon as it was up, I liked the look of the sunshine. I nonetheless have to get the right lightbulbs for it, and I additionally need to get a dimmer swap for the sunshine. The one bulbs I had available are all mistaken and nearly blindingly vivid, and I solely have two of the 4 bulbs in there proper now.

So till I can get the right bulbs, I’ll simply preserve the sunshine off and admire it extra as jewellery for the ceiling fairly than a helpful ceiling gentle.

The excellent news is that I actually like the way it seems to be from each route. It even seems to be nice with the sunshine within the music room, which I’ll present y’all as quickly as I can get the music room cleaned up a bit. 😀 Proper now, it’s cluttered with stuff from this bed room undertaking.

My foremost concern was how it might look outdoors the closet, however I feel it seems to be unbelievable! It subtly carries that flower motif onto the ceiling, though it’s not overtly a flower gentle fixture.

So not less than I may mark off one undertaking from my “to do” listing yesterday, even when the trim is taking perpetually.

In different information, I discovered the material that I’m going to make use of on one of many pillows for the bench within the lobby. And it’s a hand towel! I’ve had these tea towels for a very long time, and I occurred to have one in my hand after I walked into the lobby from the kitchen. I tossed the towel on the bench, and after I got here again to get it, I noticed it might be good as a pillow cowl!

Because the ones I’ve have truly been used as towels to dry dishes, they usually’ve been by the wash numerous instances, I went forward and ordered two extra new ones to make use of as a pillow cowl. I really like the way it has the sunshine blue from the closet and pulls that colour into the lobby.

In order that was a contented accident and an opportunity discovery. I bought these towels from Werkshoppe, they usually have so many cute and colourful designs. So when you’re in search of tea towels OR material for pillow covers, you may examine them out!
