I’m making progress on the house fitness center, though I’m on the level the place progress is shifting alongside fairly slowly. I now have all the trim put in, and it’s all wooden crammed and sanded. At this time, I hope to begin on caulking all the trim in order that I can begin portray it on Thursday.
I additionally spent a while performing some wall repairs. If you happen to’ll keep in mind, I truly tried putting in crown molding on this room alongside the longest wall (i.e., the wall between the house fitness center and the grasp rest room), after which determined that I didn’t prefer it. Effectively, due to the way in which that crown molding is put in (nailed into the wall and the ceiling, with the totally different instructions of nails creating pressure that helps to carry the crown in place), eradicating crown molding will inevitably injury drywall. I had already achieved one coat of drywall mud on these areas, however they wanted one other coat, together with some sanding.
As soon as that all the prep work is finished, particularly caulking all the trim, I’ll be capable of get all the trim and wall touchups painted, after which I can truly begin on some ornamental stuff!
Talking of ornamental stuff, I’ve determined to construct my very own cabinets for the closet space. I’ll construct two shelving items that can flank a middle chest of drawers. That chest of drawers may have a TV mounted over it on the wall.
I’ve determined that every little thing that goes into the room might be black and darkish stained wooden. I just about let my Water Rower decide that call because it’s a good looking walnut with black accents. So the cabinets have black helps (each vertical and horizontal helps) with stained walnut colour cabinets. If I’ve sufficient walnut veneer left over from the toilet, I could even use that for the cabinets.
Many months in the past, I had already chosen a black flooring for the room, in order that works into my black + walnut plan very effectively. I additionally bought black curtain rods (sure, I might be hanging curtains in right here as a result of y’all know I like material!), and simply final night time, I made a decision to hold the Rustic Walnut Bamboo Shade that I used within the rest room into this room as effectively. That shade is such good high quality, and it’s so just like what I’ve in the remainder of the home, however at a a lot decrease value, so I made a decision to go for it. So as soon as it’s all put collectively, my home windows will go from trying like this…
To trying like this…
I do know that there might be many ranging opinions on that (the black curtain rod, masking up a number of the stripes, and many others.), however I believe it’ll look very good as soon as it’s all achieved, and it’ll make the room cohesive with splashes of black and walnut all through the room. And it takes the partitions from being front-and-center and the primary characteristic of the room, to appearing extra as a backdrop, which I believe Matt will recognize. 😀 So the partitions are for me, and all the black and walnut is for him.
However that brings me to the entry of the room. After we moved this wall again (which made our hallway smaller and squared up the grasp rest room), that made the doorway into this room fairly lengthy. And it’s additionally darkish. I didn’t even assume so as to add a light-weight right here, however I actually assume it wants one. So I’m conflicted. It looks like an ideal space to place a semi-flush ceiling mild, and that will give me a possibility to convey some black into this space as effectively (though, I’ll do this with what I placed on the partitions as effectively).
The opposite choices is to place an excellent skinny “recessed” mild, like I’ve all through the room. However that appears a bit of boring to me, and like a wasted alternative, proper? I’m leaning in direction of the semi-flush ceiling mild until somebody has a very good motive I shouldn’t do this.
After which there’s the door colour, which I do know I introduced up a very long time in the past, however I’m nonetheless conflicted over. All the doorways within the hallway are a darkish teal. There’s none of that colour on this room, so I don’t need to convey that in there. The doorways within the rest room are white, however I don’t like that for this room.
So since I’m attempting to make use of black accents on this room, what about portray the doorways black?
