A Day Of Fails – Addicted 2 Decorating®

First, keep in mind the massive, colourful calendar that I held on this wall originally of the week?

As of this morning, all however one of many months had fallen off of the wall. Evidently, I obtained maintain of a nasty batch of 3M double sided sticky foam squares, they usually failed. September continues to be hanging on, however that’s the one one.

I purchased new image hanging strips to strive once more, however I simply didn’t have sufficient time to get it achieved yesterday. It’ll be a simple challenge to do once more, however I used to be just a bit bit annoyed {that a} challenge I had crossed off of my “to do” checklist needs to be achieved once more.

I had deliberate to make cabinets identical to the breakfast room image ledges to go beneath the TV. These are really easy to make, and you may customise them to any measurement you want. Right here’s a take a look at the breakfast room cabinets…

However once I was in Lowe’s the opposite day buying the issues I wanted for my new shoe closet, I noticed these cabinets on clearance for simply over $12 every. They’re not fairly as broad as I needed them to be (these are 30 inches broad, and I needed 36), however I used to be blissful that they might save me a lot time, and I don’t suppose I may make them for $12 every with the price of lumber today.

Two of them had been very straightforward to put in. However there at all times needs to be a troublesome one, proper? And this center one was the issue. For some cause, I couldn’t get the drywall anchor to enter the wall on this aspect. No drawback. I made a decision to only use my nail gun with 2-inch 16-gauge nails and nail this aspect immediately into the stud. However the very first nail didn’t go in. It simply crumpled up on the face of the shelf board.

I don’t know why it did that. Perhaps it hit a drywall screw. Nevertheless it’s only one extra minor inconvenience I’ve to repair.

I had a quite simple design in thoughts, and thought I may get the essential construct achieved in about 40 minutes. And I used to be proper! It took about 40 minutes to chop the 4 items for the perimeters and glue/nail these collectively, after which lower the 4 face items and nail these in place.

The issue? I obtained the measurements unsuitable. It appears manner too massive on the TV, so I have to take it aside, lower the items down, and put it collectively once more.

However anyway, that is the clock I ended up buying for this wall (affiliate hyperlink). I actually favored the worth ($45) and the scale (24 inches), however I additionally obtained this one as a result of I believed it could be very straightforward to customise.

I’m undecided what I plan to do with it simply but, however I do know for positive that it gained’t keep brown. 🙂 I may paint it a enjoyable shade, or I could resolve to do one thing extra inventive. I’ll have to attend and see what inspiration hits me.

In order that was my day yesterday. Not solely did I not get the wall completed, however I really feel like I went backwards.

Thankfully, I don’t have any plans for the subsequent two days, so I plan to give attention to this and hopefully get it achieved by the tip of the day tomorrow. Then I can give attention to the workplace/desk nook of the room and get these tasks achieved.
