Walk-In Closet Progress – Wallpaper, Sconces, Mirror, and Trim

I’ve dreamed about this part of the closet for thus lengthy, and I’ve to say, this turned out even higher than what I’ve envisioned in my thoughts all this time. I can’t cease gazing it. I can’t stroll by this room with out stopping and peeking in to admire how this turned out.

I did find yourself utilizing the underside items on the sconces, however I used my miter noticed to chop them down significantly. They’re lower than half the size that they have been initially.

I believed that the unique items have been absurdly lengthy, however I additionally agreed with a lot of you that it appeared unfinished if I eliminated these items fully.

So I believed that slicing them down was compromise. Slicing them with my miter noticed left the ends wanting a bit brown and chipped, so I nonetheless must do some paint touchup on the lower ends.

I simply love all the things about this part, from the necklace bar to the jewellery drawer with the semi-custom jewellery drawer inserts, to the wallpaper…all the things. I find it irresistible when a imaginative and prescient turns into actuality.

As a lot of you urged, I additionally carried the wallpaper onto the highest of that cupboard part. I hadn’t deliberate to do this. In each single mockup I confirmed of this part, I all the time confirmed a painted prime…

So after I very excitedly confirmed the wallpapered part yesterday, and so many urged that I wallpaper the highest, I’ve to confess that I used to be a bit irritated. (My exhaustion yesterday most likely made it worse 😀 ). However y’all have been proper. It appears to be like so a lot better with the wallpaper carried to the highest.

However as a result of I had already lower the wallpaper across the prime, I nonetheless had so as to add trim across the prime. I took the wallpaper to Residence Depot and had them shade match the darkest blue within the paper in a pattern dimension of matte paint, and I used that to color the shoe molding that I utilized in hopes that it might type of disappear. I additionally used my desk noticed to tear the shoe molding even smaller than its regular dimension in order that it might be as small as potential whereas nonetheless protecting over the lower edges of the wallpaper. I used to be nonetheless in a position to match the sample, and when wanting on the part as a complete, that trim type of disappears.

I nonetheless must fill and contact up the nail holes in that trim. As soon as that’s performed, I don’t suppose it’ll stand out in any respect.

I additionally bought the trim painted and hooked up alongside the underside to cowl the lower edges of the wallpaper alongside the underside.

These nail holes additionally must be crammed and touched up, and I’ll additionally caulk and paint the place the trim meets the countertop, so it should additionally mix in additional than it does now. However at the very least I don’t should maintain taking a look at these lower wallpaper edges.

And, in fact, very quickly the mirror will replicate fairly issues — blue cupboards on the opposite aspect of the room with my garments hanging in these sections. For now, we’ve to see unfinished cupboards, my ladder, my work gentle, and so on. 😀 However I can’t get sufficient of this wallpaper!

I had been a bit of bit involved that the mirror may cowl up an excessive amount of of the wallpaper print, however I believe the right quantity of wallpaper reveals on this part. And I like how my white sconces look towards the darkish background of the wallpaper.

And naturally, it’ll look even higher as soon as I get extra lighting added to the room. Proper now, it nonetheless appears to be like fairly darkish in right here.

And people sconces don’t even have electrical energy but. I’m nonetheless making an attempt to resolve how I would like all the lighting wired, how could switches I would like, and which lights I wish to be managed by which change.

I used to be additionally a bit uncertain how the grey jewellery drawer would look as soon as all the things was completed. I had talked about in a earlier put up that I’d use a coral accent shade for the drawer. However in the long run, I’m very glad that I went with a lightweight grey in order that the drawer doesn’t draw an excessive amount of consideration away from the wallpaper and different fairly objects. I believe the grey labored out completely.

And this necklace bar needs to be my favourite factor. I like the way it turns my necklaces into what appears to be like like an artwork set up beneath the countertop.

So the toughest and most detailed a part of the room is completed, minus a couple of minor touchups.

Properly, I assume that’s not fully true. I do nonetheless have a complete island to construct. However the hardest and most detailed a part of the perimeter cupboards is completed. And it turned out even higher than I had hoped.
