The New Foyer Light Is Up!

When you’ll bear in mind, I needed to transfer the sunshine within the lobby. This lobby was a lot bigger than it’s now, so the ceiling junction field for the sunshine was not centered within the lobby.

So after taking that gentle down, putting in a junction field within the right spot, and shifting the wire over to the brand new field, I used this drywall patch to cowl over the outlet for the outdated junction field.

In reality, I didn’t even take away the outdated junction field as a result of it was a brand new work field, which meant that it was put in place earlier than the drywall went up. So getting it out would have brought on extra injury to the drywall, and that might have required much more restore. So I simply left the outdated steel junction field proper the place it’s, caught this patch over it, after which utilized the drywall mud on prime.

And as you possibly can see, it nonetheless must be sanded, primed, and painted. I had hoped to get that carried out yesterday, however the drywall mud was nonetheless moist after I went to mattress final evening. So I’ll must get that carried out this weekend.

However right here is the brand new gentle, and I completely find it irresistible!

Because it seems, I gained’t have to show the HVAC consumption vent round in spite of everything. There’s about an inch of area between the vent cowl and the sunshine, so it opens freely with out banging into the sunshine.

In fact, I nonetheless want to wash the vent cowl. 😀 I’m attempting to maintain the filter modified recurrently as I’m nonetheless engaged on dusty initiatives, however I’m not going to take the time to wash the vent cowl till all the dusty initiatives are completed. I’m so shut!! However I simply created another dusty mission with that drywall patch on the ceiling.

This light is from Wayfair (affiliate hyperlink), and total, I actually find it irresistible. However I’d give it about an 8 out of 10 ranking for 2 causes.

And second, the ring that goes on the ceiling (i.e., the cover, or magnificence ring, or no matter it’s known as) is made from very skinny steel. I wasn’t happy with that in any respect. The remainder of the sunshine is properly made, however that cover simply feels skinny and low-cost, prefer it might bend simply. Fortunately, I managed to get it put in with out damaging it. And as soon as it was up, I liked the look of the sunshine. I nonetheless must get the correct lightbulbs for it, and I additionally need to get a dimmer swap for the sunshine. The one bulbs I had available are all improper and nearly blindingly brilliant, and I solely have two of the 4 bulbs in there proper now.

So till I can get the correct bulbs, I’ll simply hold the sunshine off and admire it extra as jewellery for the ceiling reasonably than a helpful ceiling gentle.

The excellent news is that I actually like the way it seems from each path. It even seems nice with the sunshine within the music room, which I’ll present y’all as quickly as I can get the music room cleaned up a bit. 😀 Proper now, it’s cluttered with stuff from this bed room mission.

My principal concern was how it could look exterior the closet, however I believe it seems implausible! It subtly carries that flower motif onto the ceiling, despite the fact that it’s not overtly a flower gentle fixture.

So a minimum of I might mark off one mission from my “to do” checklist yesterday, even when the trim is taking eternally.

In different information, I discovered the material that I’m going to make use of on one of many pillows for the bench within the lobby. And it’s a hand towel! I’ve had these tea towels for a very long time, and I occurred to have one in my hand after I walked into the lobby from the kitchen. I tossed the towel on the bench, and after I got here again to get it, I noticed it could be excellent as a pillow cowl!

Because the ones I’ve have really been used as towels to dry dishes, and so they’ve been by means of the wash numerous instances, I went forward and ordered two extra new ones to make use of as a pillow cowl. I like the way it has the sunshine blue from the closet and pulls that shade into the lobby.

In order that was a cheerful accident and an opportunity discovery. I bought these towels from Werkshoppe, and so they have so many cute and colourful designs. So when you’re in search of tea towels OR material for pillow covers, you may test them out!
