I believe I’ve yet one more day of engaged on the trim and partitions within the bed room. After all, I assumed that earlier than heading into final weekend, and we see how properly that labored out for me. 😀 However I did find yourself including extra trim, in order that prompted a delay. However now that the trim is all on, most of it’s sanded, and I simply want to complete up the caulking and portray (and I’ve an uninterrupted work day forward of me), I actually assume I can get it accomplished at the moment.
Within the meantime, I actually need to determine on what to do with this dresser, and a number of other of you have got supplied numerous choices and opinions. That is the dresser that I’ll be utilizing within the bed room. It was in our outdated bed room, nevertheless it’s been saved in my workshop for a couple of yr now.
I wasn’t even positive if I used to be going to make use of it in our new bed room. I thought of eliminating it and shopping for one thing new. However the reality is that I can virtually by no means discover something I like “as is” that can be in my finances. All of the dressers I like “as is” are properly over $1000, and I simply merely don’t wish to spend that cash on a brand new dresser when I’ve a superbly good one already.
I actually like the peak of this one. I believe it’s about 45 inches tall, or perhaps a bit taller. I really like that it has 9 drawers. And I like that it’s not too deep. It’s additionally fairly heavy and durable, so it’s not like a Walmart piece of furnishings. I don’t assume I’d discover a higher one in my worth vary, so I’m sticking with this one.
Anyway, this dresser will go on the left facet of this lengthy wall and can be instantly throughout from our mattress.
And to the appropriate of the dresser is the place I’ll have my studying nook with this recliner from Inside Outline.
After which, in fact, you recognize the remainder of the plan…
I have already got virtually every thing for the bed room, together with the rug…
And the headboard material. I’m going to make use of that orange/coral stable material for the welt wire across the headboard. After which the teal velvet material is for the draperies.
As you may see, I’ve a fairly constant shade palette. Teal is clearly the primary shade for the room — higher partitions, draperies, recliner. The orange/coral shade is the apparent secondary shade — birds within the headboard material, welt wire on the headboard, accent on the draperies, rug, pillow on the recliner, lamps on bedside tables, and so on.
So with that shade palette, I’m unsure what to do with that dresser. I do know that I don’t need extra teal. I believe that may be teal overload. I had thought of portray it a extremely smooth orange/coral shade, not almost as daring as the opposite orange/corals within the room. However because it’s so giant, I concern that it could be overpowering, even when it’s a extra muted shade. Or perhaps it doesn’t must be muted in any respect. Possibly it must be daring orange/coral. Ugh. I simply don’t know.
There are additionally another colours in that headboard material, like that fairly inexperienced. But when I take advantage of that inexperienced on one thing giant just like the dresser, I’ll undoubtedly should steadiness that out with inexperienced on the mattress and possibly at the very least one different place within the room.
After which the ultimate possibility could be to color it white. However y’all understand how I really feel about portray furnishings white. That’s such a tough factor for me to wrap my head round, and it goes towards each impulse I’ve. White furnishings simply isn’t “me”.
So I’m unsure which course to go along with this. If I have been compelled to decide on at this very second, I believe I might most likely go along with that smooth inexperienced from the headboard material, after which work that inexperienced into different areas within the room, like accent pillows on the mattress.
I don’t wish to get into one other scenario like I did with the closet the place I’m testing out 20 completely different paint colours. I wish to decide, keep it up, and get it accomplished. I’m simply having a tough time envisioning any of those choices. It might be a lot simpler if I had the recliner in hand, nevertheless it may be one other two weeks earlier than it arrives. So till then, all I’ve is a small swatch of the material.
Anyway, what do you consider that gentle inexperienced? Or would that be an excessive amount of of a 3rd shade? Would that throw off the steadiness of the entire room and the colour palette I’ve bought happening for the room?
