My Plan For A Complete Desk Makeover

I’ve spent a couple of days now engaged on my pendant mild to go over my desk within the studio, however I’ve additionally been doing fairly a little bit of serious about how I wish to make over the desk. For some time now, I’ve been planning to color the desk. However I additionally purchased some drawers that connect underneath the desktop to have quick access to pens, pencils, post-it notes, and so forth. So I additionally needed to assume by way of how I used to be going to cover these drawers.

Right here’s how the desk appears proper now, so you’ll be able to see that if I connect drawers to the underside of the desktop, the perimeters and backs of the drawers will likely be plainly seen.

I need the desk to be lighter, brighter, and to look extra female. I’m nonetheless undecided in regards to the colours. I could go all white, or I could do white and gold. I haven’t selected that but. However what I do know is that I wish to find yourself with one thing extra like this desk from Wayfair., with a comparatively open again, however fairly panels on the perimeters.

So I plan to take away the “V” design from the again of the desk, and transfer the underside horizontal help as much as the highest, after which add helps on the facet on the identical top. I’ll add plywood panels inside that space to cover the drawers, so that you gained’t really be capable of see by way of that prime space.

I’ll depart the again open, however then I want so as to add some ornamental panels within the sides.

And that’s so far as my plan has gotten in my thoughts. I’ve been on-line a number of instances during the last week searching for the proper wooden panels to go in these areas, and I’m simply having such a tough time making a call. Listed here are some prospects.

I’ve to needless to say any panels I purchase must be minimize all the way down to measurement, so I gained’t be left with the entire design. But when I can discover one which’s large enough to get each side out of 1 panel, it’d make the venture cheaper. For instance Kirkland’s has this large panel that’s large enough that I may minimize it in half and use every half on either side of the desk. I’d flip every half vertically in order that the flowers are going up as a substitute of rising sideways.

In order that’s my imaginative and prescient and my plan. I’m simply having such a tough time discovering the precise panel(s) to make use of. The half I’m actually not sure about is whether I ought to use panels which can be extra geometric or panels which can be extra floral in design. I type of like the thought of bringing a floral element to this space of the room, however I additionally don’t need floral overload. And I all the time like a geometrical sample used with a floral sample, so that concept appeals to me as properly.

Anyway, that’s the plan, and I’m on the hunt for the proper wood panel(s) that I can use on the perimeters of my desk. I’m actually excited to get began on that makeover. Lightening up the colour and design of that desk will go a great distance in direction of making that space look completed. And actually, as soon as I get the sunshine completed, the desk and the chair are the ultimate huge initiatives for the room! I can see the end line!
