I had such excessive hopes that I’d be capable of end our bed room suite lobby this previous weekend, however Matt had different plans for us. Friday night time round midnight, he began shivering uncontrollably and had a fever of simply over 104. So, lengthy story quick, he’s now within the hospital being handled for a UTI and sepsis.
He’s doing significantly better as of this morning, however we’re nonetheless undecided when he’ll be capable of go dwelling. I had hoped that it might be this afternoon, but it surely’s not trying like that can occur. So fingers crossed for tomorrow.
So whereas I didn’t get any extra finished on the lobby earlier than our sudden hospital keep, I did mess around with an concept for that lengthy wall within the bed room. That wall is over 11 toes lengthy, so it’s the longest uninterrupted wall area in the entire bed room.
Not one of the apparent decisions had been actually doing something for me. I may depart it clean, however once more, that’s an enormous quantity of wall area. I may put three or 4 giant footage, like the dimensions of the chapel image.
I didn’t love that concept as a result of having much more footage that dimension takes away from the specialness of the chapel image.
And, in fact, I may use the opposite 12 footage that I lower out of the Bible examine e-book and make a gallery wall of these on the lengthy wall.
However that doesn’t actually make sense to me since I’ve already pulled the 4 out that had essentially the most orange in them and used them on a separate wall.
I like the thought of utilizing the opposite 12 as a gallery wall someplace in the home, however having the 12 actually on a wall reverse the unique 4 appears unusual to me. Plus, the 12 which are left don’t actually have any orange in them. They’re all very heavy on pinks, blues, teals, and yellows. In order that they actually don’t go very nicely with what I’ve obtained happening within the bed room anyway.
The extra I considered that wall, the extra I actually wished one thing sudden, freeform, and unframed. And my thoughts instantly went to the birds that I’ve on the wall in the lounge.
I really like these birds, however I’ve all the time wished I may discover a extra distinguished place for them. They appear to get misplaced within the nook of the lounge. Effectively, transferring them from that nook of the lounge the place the partitions are painted so mild they barely distinction with the birds to a darkish teal wall in our bed room would definitely give them extra prominence! After all, for an 11-foot wall, I’d want many extra than simply 12 birds.
So I ordered extra. Much more. Maybe I went overboard, however I now have a complete of 48 birds. 😀 Since I didn’t wish to work out the association with the precise ceramic birds, which might have required numerous trial and error with precise nails by means of the grasscloth, I used the ceramic birds as patterns to chop out paper birds that I may tape onto the wall to determine the association. I don’t have the ultimate association but, however right here’s a peak at the place that is heading…
That’s solely 36 birds, and I’ve a complete of 48. I’ve a complete of 16 giant birds — 8 that face left and eight that face proper. And I’ve a complete of 32 small birds — 16 that face left and 16 that face proper.
I’m going to maintain taking part in round with the association till I get it excellent. As a lot as I would like the association to be freeform, I additionally wish to take a look at out an association that may be a excellent oval. My want for symmetry requires that I a minimum of take a look at out that concept earlier than I choose the ultimate association.
Anyway, I can’t actually do far more till Matt will get out of the hospital. I might love for that to occur this afternoon. It’s so troublesome to truly get higher in a hospital with them waking you up all all through the night time. The physique wants sleep to heal, however good sleep is one factor that’s nearly inconceivable to get at a hospital. However it’s trying prefer it’ll be tomorrow on the earliest. Oh nicely. Possibly as an alternative of utilizing paper birds and tape, I can use my picture modifying software program to give you the right chicken association for my wall whereas we’re caught on the hospital. Not less than that’ll give me one thing inventive to do to cross the time.
