4 Shade & Paint Choices For My Studio Desk

I had such a fantastic day yesterday! I had my traditional lunch with my mother and brother, however we had been joined by two extra individuals who aren’t often at our desk. A type of folks was certainly one of my dearest associates from Houston, and we talked and laughed from midday till about 10:00pm final evening. It was simply what I wanted after the earlier extremely irritating, emotional, exhausting, and tough day and evening with Matt. So I felt refreshed, invigorated, and able to hit the bottom working at this time on my remaining studio initiatives.

After studying your entire feedback and options about my studio desk, I’ve realized that as a substitute of solely two completely different choices, I’ve 4 completely different choices for the colours and paint decisions. So thanks for that. 😀 Simply kidding. I do love choices, so I must suppose via this just a little extra.

And my desk, which began out with a black base and a darkish stained wooden high, is getting a little bit of a makeover to loosen up the look and provides it a carved leaf panel element on the perimeters…

So once more, after studying your feedback, I made observe of the completely different options for paint and shade mixture choices that I preferred, and that I’m now contemplating. They’re…

Gold Base With White Prime

I feel this can be a traditional look. It’s easy, elegant, traditional, and would go nice in my studio. Right here’s an example from Homary.

This desk from Walmart has a further gold element on the white desktop, which I actually like.

So these are the to choices that I already had in thoughts, however listed below are the 2 further choices I’m contemplating after prepared the feedback on yesterday’s put up…

White Base Wooden Prime

I hadn’t even thought of this feature as a result of I’ve grown to essentially dislike the present darkish stained wooden high that’s on the desk proper now, so I used to be wanting to go in a completely completely different course. However I don’t should do a stained high. I may order a chunk of walnut veneer, and simply use it in its pure shade like I did on the vanities and cupboard in our toilet. That may get rid of that darkish, heavy, faux stained look, and would add extra pure wooden heat to the room. It will look extra like this Keliah dining table from Wayfair.

I actually love that concept, however clearly, I wouldn’t be capable to end it over this subsequent weekend as a result of I’d have to attend for the walnut veneer to reach. However the wait may be price it! It will positively be simpler to look after than a painted floor. And it will carry the heat of my vintage walnut woven window shades into one other a part of the room, which I like.

I feel my fake marble on our espresso desk is prettier than this fake marble on this eating desk, however this dining table from Povison exhibits what it seems like with a gold base.

So these are the 4 choices. My favourite at this very second is definitely the white base with the walnut high, however I used to be so exited concerning the prospect of ending this desk makeover within the subsequent couple of days. The thought of getting to attend for walnut veneer to reach doesn’t thrill me, however I do produce other initiatives that I can work on whereas I wait. I nonetheless have trim that must be put in and completed, and two doorways that have to be painted. So these issues may maintain me busy this weekend whereas I look forward to veneer.

I do know a number of folks prompt alternative ways of highlighting the leaf element on the perimeters of the desk. I did contemplate these options, however in the long run, I made a decision that I favor the leaf cutout to be a delicate element that’s painted the identical shade as the remainder of the bottom fairly than having it stand out as a highlighted element. So I’ll positively be portray all the base one shade. I’m simply not 100% positive proper now if that shade can be white or gold. I do know for positive that it received’t be black. Or eggplant. Or some other darkish shade. 🙂
