I didn’t get any work performed yesterday as a result of I virtually by no means have an opportunity to make any progress on initiatives on Wednesdays. As y’all know by now, Wednesdays are my “household and pals” day. However I’ve an entire uninterrupted workday forward of me, and my objective is to make as a lot progress as attainable on the bed room trim. Within the meantime, I’ve been revisiting my plans for the studio rest room, which shall be our one and solely visitor bed room for an unknown time frame between once I flip the present visitor rest room within the lobby right into a storage closet and after we get our addition constructed with the brand new visitor rest room.
A few weeks in the past, I shared that I used to be going to calm issues down a bit within the studio rest room because it was going to be our interim visitor rest room. Whereas I’m positive with a number of coloration and wild patterns, I didn’t actually wish to topic company to that. I imply, let’s face it, the unique sample I did was positive for me and enjoyable to have a look at in footage, nevertheless it could possibly be a bit overwhelming and dizzying for lots of people.
And I feel the identical is true for the wallpaper that I had designed for the partitions earlier than the entire detour during the last 12 months once I deliberate to show the lavatory in to a walk-through pantry. I by no means received that wallpaper put in, however it might have seemed one thing like this.
Once more, that may have been positive if the lavatory had been only for me. However I feel it’s an excessive amount of for a visitor rest room.
So I instructed that I’d simply paint the higher partitions the identical inexperienced because the partitions within the again entry, paint the wainscoting white, and just about be performed with it. However a number of folks pushed again on that concept and stated (I’ll paraphrase) that simply because it’s a visitor rest room, that doesn’t imply that I’ve to fully strip my persona and my love of coloration out of the room.
I begin each single morning, seven days every week, sitting at my desk in my studio.
And from that view, I can see into the studio rest room. And during the last couple of weeks, as I’ve sat at my desk and seemed into that loo, I’ve thought of that enter increasingly. And I feel it’s true. Whereas I don’t need the lavatory to be dizzying, overpowering, or seizure-inducing for company, I feel it may be extra “me” than what I had initially deliberate. And I feel I can do one thing that’s extra consistent with the general look of the studio.
Simply as a reminder, the lavatory sits proper behind this door within the again entry of the studio. And as soon as the lavatory is completed and appears good, I’ll in all probability received’t hold the door closed when the lavatory isn’t in use.
So I’ve now determined to have my floral wallpaper printed smaller (precise repeated wallpaper as an alternative of the bigger mural dimension that’s on the studio wall) and use that on the higher partitions within the rest room. I nonetheless haven’t selected the wainscoting coloration. I did two mockups to check out two colours, after which I left one in all them white. You’ll must ignore the reflection within the mirror, however right here’s what it’d appears like with inexperienced wainscoting. I’d use the identical inexperienced that’s within the again entry of the studio.
The opposite apparent choice could be to make use of the identical pink that’s on the studio cupboards (Sherwin Williams Tuberose) on the wainscoting. That will actually tie the 2 sides of the room collectively, however I worry that it might be an excessive amount of pink since I’ve an entire lot of pink cupboards within the studio.
After which the third choice could be to depart it white.
Proper now, I’m actually leaning in the direction of the inexperienced. I don’t suppose I want extra pink within the studio, and I like that the inexperienced would tie in properly with the again entry partitions. In order that’s the path I’m going to move with this rest room. And I’m truly actually glad that a few of you pushed again on my plan a few weeks in the past. In any case, this received’t be our visitor rest room ceaselessly. In some unspecified time in the future, it’ll return to being only a studio rest room, and I’ll just about be the one one who makes use of it. So I feel it’s okay if it’s a bit extra “me” than what I had deliberate a few weeks in the past.
