My entire plan for our bed room lobby is coming collectively very effectively. A few days in the past, I shared that I had narrowed down my ceiling mild choices to 5 decisions. Yesterday, I made my determination, and I went with this one from Wayfair (affiliate hyperlink).
The rationale I chosen that one is as a result of it’s the brightest of the choices with 4 mild bulbs, nevertheless it’s additionally dimmable. But additionally, I do plan to have a gold-framed full-length mirror within the lobby, so utilizing one of many choices that had been largely gold plus a gold-framed mirror appeared like a bit of an excessive amount of gold. Plus, I simply love the form of this one. I feel it’ll be good within the bed room lobby.
And talking of mirrors, I’ve discovered the right mirror at Passion Foyer. I couldn’t consider it once I noticed it. It’s 60″ excessive and 30″ large, which is an ideal dimension. And the form can also be nice. I didn’t buy it once I noticed it as a result of my van was filled with molding, so I’ll have to return immediately and decide it up. It’s solely $99! Right here’s what it seems to be like…

I actually do need to use sconces on both aspect of the mirror, however I’m nonetheless undecided on these. My desire can be to make use of hardwired sconces as a result of having lighting hardwired is simply a lot extra handy than having wi-fi rechargeable lighting. I’m not superb at maintaining with rechargeable lighting. And I do nonetheless have the sconces that had been in our earlier bed room that I can reuse. I like the easy design, and people white shades would look lovely in opposition to the teal grasscloth wallpaper.

But when I resolve to go along with the wi-fi/rechargeable route, I actually like these sconces from Amazon (affiliate hyperlink). And you’ll’t beat that value! Two sconces for $59.99.

And at last, I’ve needed to place an upholstered bench within the lobby the place I can sit down and placed on my footwear. Mainly, the lobby is an extension of my closet. I didn’t need to take up helpful area contained in the closet for a chair/bench and a full-length mirror, so these issues are going within the lobby proper exterior the closet. And I simply occurred to have two benches within the breakfast room that I don’t plan to make use of anymore.
I’ve to snort as a result of I maintain poaching issues from this space to make use of elsewhere. I used the French doorways to make a cupboard for our toilet. The art work is now in my closet. And now, one of many benches will likely be used within the lobby.

I believed one in every of these benches may work within the lobby, however I didn’t notice simply how completely it might work. I imply, the dimensions seems to be prefer it was made to go right here! I’m fairly excited that I received’t must construct something from scratch for the lobby.

Clearly, the colour is all improper, so I might want to reupholster it. And I nonetheless assume that I’d just like the bench to have a bit of pleated skirt on it. I don’t need the skirt to go all the way in which to the ground, although.

And even when the doorways are open, there’s nonetheless loads of room to take a seat on the bench. Once more, I simply want a spot to take a seat and placed on my footwear once I’m preparing.

And with the bench in place, there’s nonetheless loads of room to get by. There’s no less than 5 ft of area between the nook of the bench and the alternative wall.

Reupholstering that bench will likely be a really fast and straightforward mission. I simply want to search out the right cloth. That’s simpler stated than executed lately since all of our native cloth shops have disappeared. I feel all that’s left domestically is Passion Foyer, they usually by no means have an incredible choice. So I might need to go looking on-line for the right cloth. Or perhaps I’ll design one myself and have it printed at Spoonflower. I’d love to search out one thing that has all the colours in it — teal, mild blue, pink, orange — however I don’t need it to be busy. That is perhaps a tall order. 😀
