A Few Updates – Pendant Mild Progress, Desk Accent Choice, and New Desk Chair Cloth Swatches

To this point, I’ve the primary (and largest) ring completed and prepared for the following ring to be assembled.

And I’ve seven extra rings completed and able to be assembled.

I’ve two colours which are fully painted and gilded. I nonetheless must drill holes and fasten them to rings.

After which I’ve 4 colours which are painted on the fronts, however nonetheless want gilding on the backs and fronts. Then I must drill holes and fasten them to rings.

After which I’ve one colour that’s painted on fronts, gilded on backs, however nonetheless must be gilded on the fronts earlier than I can drill holes and fasten them to rings.

So there’s nonetheless fairly a bit of labor to be executed, however I handed the midway level some time again. I hope to have a completed pendant mild within the subsequent few days.

Now shifting on to the desk. As a number of individuals prompt, I took a glance to see what I might discover domestically for my desk makeover. I did discover the Goal panels and the Kirkland’s panel domestically, however they simply didn’t do something for me. Then at Interest Foyer, I discovered this panel that I actually favored, however the center half (i.e., the precise ornamental half) was made from very skinny wooden. I don’t even assume it was 1/4-inch thick, which implies that it might break very simply.

However look what I discovered…and acquired!

As quickly as I noticed these, I believed they is perhaps excellent. They give the impression of being similar to the darker inexperienced leaves within the wallpaper mural.

I really like that! It’s like these had been made for my desk! Effectively, form of. I completely love the design, and I feel they’ll be excellent as soon as they’re included into the design and every part is painted the identical colour.

However, as you’ll be able to see right here, the cutout design is about an inch too quick.

I’m not fairly certain what I’m going to do about that, however I’ll work out one thing. As a result of these are too excellent to cross up!

And eventually, let’s discuss concerning the desk chair material. My final spherical of samples didn’t actually work out. I spotted nearly instantly that inexperienced wasn’t the suitable colour for my desk chair. So whereas I used to be at lunch with my mother final week, we talked about another prospects. She prompt that I search for a stable material within the darkest colour on my favourite striped material.

I liked that concept! As a substitute of in search of a contrasting colour, I liked the thought of doing the chair in a colour extra much like the cupboards, however in a darker shade. So I ordered each darkish pinkish pink velvet pattern that I might discover from KOVI. Clearly, considered one of them was a right away “no”.

In order that left me with these 4 as prospects. They’re all very comparable, however they do have very delicate variations.

I favored all of them, however the one of many far left appeared a bit too true pink to me. It appeared too harsh towards the cupboards.

So then I used to be down to a few, and I attempted to find out which one regarded greatest not solely with the cupboards, but additionally with the darkest pink colour on the pendant mild. My eye retains going to the center swatch.

I’ll present you a detailed up of every one. The far proper swatch has some variation in colour which just about makes the velvet look shimmery, nevertheless it’s not.

That is the one which my eye retains getting drawn to. It has a little bit of a texture to it that jogs my memory of a tiny, micro corduroy.

After which there’s the left swatch, which has extra pink in it than the center one.

So it’s down to those three. Whichever one I select, I’m going to cowl the entire chair on this material, after which add white piping and a white three-letter monogram to the center of the entrance chair again (i.e., the place my head rests). I’m fairly enthusiastic about this concept! However I simply must decide concerning the material. As of this second, the center one is the winner for me.
