I feel I’ve yet one more day of engaged on the trim and partitions within the bed room. In fact, I believed that earlier than heading into final weekend, and we see how nicely that labored out for me. 😀 However I did find yourself including extra trim, in order that prompted a delay. However now that the trim is all on, most of it’s sanded, and I simply want to complete up the caulking and portray (and I’ve an uninterrupted work day forward of me), I actually assume I can get it executed right now.
Within the meantime, I really want to resolve on what to do with this dresser, and a number of other of you’ve provided numerous choices and opinions. That is the dresser that I’ll be utilizing within the bed room. It was in our previous bed room, but it surely’s been saved in my workshop for a couple of 12 months now.

I wasn’t even certain if I used to be going to make use of it in our new bed room. I thought of eliminating it and shopping for one thing new. However the truth is that I can nearly by no means discover something I like “as is” that can also be in my finances. All of the dressers I like “as is” are nicely over $1000, and I simply merely don’t need to spend that cash on a brand new dresser when I’ve a wonderfully good one already.

I actually like the peak of this one. I feel it’s about 45 inches tall, or perhaps a bit taller. I really like that it has 9 drawers. And I like that it’s not too deep. It’s additionally fairly heavy and durable, so it’s not like a Walmart piece of furnishings. I don’t assume I’d discover a higher one in my worth vary, so I’m sticking with this one.
Anyway, this dresser will go on the left facet of this lengthy wall and will likely be immediately throughout from our mattress.

And to the best of the dresser is the place I’ll have my studying nook with this recliner from Inside Outline.

After which, after all, you realize the remainder of the plan…

I have already got nearly every thing for the bed room, together with the rug…

And the headboard material. I’m going to make use of that orange/coral strong material for the welt twine across the headboard. After which the teal velvet material is for the draperies.

As you possibly can see, I’ve a reasonably constant coloration palette. Teal is clearly the principle coloration for the room — higher partitions, draperies, recliner. The orange/coral coloration is the plain secondary coloration — birds within the headboard material, welt twine on the headboard, accent on the draperies, rug, pillow on the recliner, lamps on bedside tables, and many others.
So with that coloration palette, I’m unsure what to do with that dresser. I do know that I don’t need extra teal. I feel that may be teal overload. I had thought of portray it a extremely gentle orange/coral coloration, not almost as daring as the opposite orange/corals within the room. However because it’s so giant, I concern that it might be overpowering, even when it’s a extra muted coloration. Or perhaps it doesn’t must be muted in any respect. Perhaps it must be daring orange/coral. Ugh. I simply don’t know.
There are additionally another colours in that headboard material, like that fairly inexperienced. But when I exploit that inexperienced on one thing giant just like the dresser, I’ll undoubtedly should steadiness that out with inexperienced on the mattress and possibly at the least one different place within the room.
After which the ultimate choice can be to color it white. However y’all know the way I really feel about portray furnishings white. That’s such a tough factor for me to wrap my head round, and it goes towards each impulse I’ve. White furnishings simply isn’t “me”.
So I’m unsure which path to go together with this. If I had been compelled to decide on at this very second, I feel I might most likely go together with that gentle inexperienced from the headboard material, after which work that inexperienced into different areas within the room, like accent pillows on the mattress.
I don’t need to get into one other state of affairs like I did with the closet the place I’m testing out 20 totally different paint colours. I need to decide, keep it up, and get it executed. I’m simply having a tough time envisioning any of those choices. It could be a lot simpler if I had the recliner in hand, but it surely is perhaps one other two weeks earlier than it arrives. So till then, all I’ve is a small swatch of the material.
Anyway, what do you concentrate on that mild inexperienced? Or would that be an excessive amount of of a 3rd coloration? Would that throw off the steadiness of the entire room and the colour palette I’ve obtained occurring for the room? I ought to point out that there’s no inexperienced within the space rug. It does have that very same mild brown coloration from the headboard material, although. Perhaps that’s another choice I ought to contemplate.
