Two Down, Sixteen To Go (Walls & Ceiling Painted, New Window Shade Installed)

On Friday’s publish, I made an inventory of 18 issues that wanted to be completed to complete the studio. This weekend, I obtained two of them checked off of the checklist. I lastly obtained the ceiling and partitions painted, which was an enormous job. After which the final window shade arrived on Saturday, so I obtained it put in.

First up, I’ll present you ways the newly painted ceiling and partitions have modified the look of the room. For a really very long time now, I’ve been residing with partially painted partitions and ceiling. I began portray the areas that wanted to be painted in order that I may set up cupboards. And as soon as these areas had been painted, the progress on the remainder of the ceiling and partitions stalled as a result of (1) there was no urgent want to color these areas, and (2) portray the ceiling appeared like an enormous job, so I procrastinated so long as I may.

So the room has regarded like this for a really very long time, with a part of the ceiling white and and most of it painted blue, and components of the partitions painted Benjamin Moore Basic Grey, and the remainder painted blue.

So this was my large undertaking that I used to be decided to lastly end this weekend. As soon as I obtained the ceiling painted, I used to be truly amazed at how a lot brighter the room regarded. The blue ceiling wasn’t even darkish. It was a really mild blue, and but the white made such a giant distinction. I nonetheless must put the lights again within the ceiling, so proper now, there are a ton of loopy shadows on the ceiling. However not less than it’s all one colour now!

And naturally, the Basic Grey partitions now look so vibrant and clear. This image makes it seem like I put in lights on prime of the cupboards, however that’s simply the ceiling mild hanging down and shining in the direction of the wall. I do nonetheless plan to place lights within the cubbies, although.

Aaahhhh…simply have a look at how vibrant and clear this large wall appears! Now I’m anxious to get the remainder of the trim put in. It’s going to look so good!

After which the second merchandise on my checklist that I checked off was putting in the brand new shade on the window that sits contained in the workplace space cupboards.

I had some frustration with this shade. I ordered my absolute favorite unlined woven shade (affiliate hyperlink) from the identical small enterprise on Amazon the place I ordered the opposite two for this room, those for the house gymnasium, and the one within the grasp lavatory. I completely love these shades, and among the best issues about them is that the corporate will lower them (width and size) to your customized measurements to suit your window.

So similar to I at all times do, I positioned my order, after which despatched them a message with the customized measurements. However one way or the other, this time they didn’t get my message. And by the point I noticed I hadn’t heard again from them (they at all times reply to verify receipt of the customization request), that they had already shipped the shade with out customizations.

They supplied to ship me one other one, however this one took about two weeks, and I didn’t need to wait. So I ended up customizing the width myself by chopping about 1/2-inch off of every finish with my miter noticed. I used to be about to attempt to customise the size myself as properly, however it’s solely about three inches too lengthy, and I made a decision that it wasn’t definitely worth the bother.

I used to be a bit disillusioned on the additional work it took, however as soon as I obtained it put in, my disappointment disappeared. Since I preserve the shades open 99.9% of the time, nobody would ever be capable of inform that it’s too lengthy. I’m the one one who will likely be bothered by that, and so long as the shade is open, I’ll most likely overlook about it. I do love the heat and texture that it provides to this space!

And now I can lastly see what my panorama design appears like on the sunshine grey wall. I’m nonetheless going to have it printed bigger after which body it, however I can use this one to get an concept of what it would seem like.

I attempted to tape it to the wall to get a greater concept, however it wouldn’t keep hanging straight. 😀 Then new one, which is able to embody the plant key, will take up many of the area between the trim on the left and the thermostat on the proper.

Right here’s the progress. Two down, sixteen to go.
