Evidently I used to be far more bummed and deflated over my grasscloth wallpaper than I initially thought. I’m fairly resilient after I run into roadblocks, setbacks, and disappointments, however some take me longer to work by way of than others. I believed that I had type of gotten over that hump concerning the wallpaper over the weekend. However yesterday, each time I went into the bed room to seek out one thing to work on, I discovered myself simply standing and gazing this unhappy sight. I simply couldn’t make myself get enthusiastic about the rest for a lot of the day, so it was nearly utterly a wasted day.
We had much more rain yesterday, so I used to be at the very least in a position to go up into the attic in the course of the rain and pinpoint the precise location of the leak. As I suspected, the perpetrator was the solar tunnel skylight. The leak wasn’t dangerous, nevertheless it was a gentle drip your complete time it was raining. I used to be in a position to put down a big piece of plastic with a towel on prime to absorb the drips (a bucket wouldn’t match underneath the particular space and I used to be involved {that a} bucket wouldn’t be broad sufficient to catch all the splatters), so at the very least there’s a brief resolution in place till I can get somebody out to repair it, which can nearly assuredly be subsequent week since this week is Thanksgiving.
The loopy factor is that simply on the opposite aspect of the wall, neither the wall nor the ceiling has any water injury in any respect. Not a single drop. This nook of the water closet in our lavatory is similar wall, identical nook, simply on the opposite aspect of the wall. Clearly, the trim is perhaps hiding any water that obtained by way of on this aspect, however there’s not even any signal of water injury on the ceiling. That shocked me.
So it’s actually JUST the grasscloth wallpaper that was affected. After all. 🤣 The ceiling on each side of the wall is simply positive. The trim on each side of the wall is simply positive. It’s simply the grasscloth wallpaper that was affected. *Sigh* You type of must snort at that.
Anyway, I used to be actually bummed and feeling very unmotivated till the mirror that I ordered from Wayfair was delivered. However to be trustworthy, I used to be feeling type of meh about that, too, as a result of so many individuals within the feedback mentioned they didn’t prefer it. I used to be so excited concerning the body till I learn the feedback. However then I opened the field, pulled out the mirror, and liked it much more than I believed I’d.
I obtained much more enthusiastic about it after I positioned the image on the mirror.
It took fairly a bit of labor to get that mirror out with out breaking it, however I lastly obtained it out and positioned the image contained in the body. Clearly, I’ll want a brand new mat, however y’all. I LOVE THIS.
It ties in with all the different wooden tones that I’ve, and I feel it’s simply good. I do know it’s not everybody’s cup of tea, however I solely want to brighten for my very own style, and it’s even higher than I believed it might be.
I hope to get a brand new mat reduce at the moment, and I’m hoping that they’ll be capable to do it whereas I wait. I’d love some rapid gratification at the moment.
And lots of people had some enter on the material trim as nicely, so I needed to stay with that for just a few days earlier than I made my choice. I made a decision that I didn’t prefer it wrapped across the edge, however I do just like the skinnier model of the trim. So I’m going to fold it, iron it, and inset it on the material panel about an inch.
I do know that there might be some who like that and a few who don’t, but when I preserve feeling apprehension to make selections as a result of some folks don’t like my selections, I’ll by no means get this room completed. I really like getting enter, however in some unspecified time in the future, I’ve to make the ultimate selections primarily based on what I like. So I’m going to go along with this design.
And I additionally took just a few days to consider my thought for the ceramic birds on the wall. A number of the non permanent paper birds have fallen off over the weekend, however I’ve determined that I actually love this concept. I feel it’s totally different and surprising, whereas framed footage appear type of anticipated and never very thrilling.
And since I wish to go massive, I’m going to make use of all the birds I’ve. I nonetheless must work out the precise design. I need to get it proper on the primary attempt since I’ll must put nails into the wall to hold the birds, and I don’t desire a bunch of additional holes within the wallpaper.
And eventually, after fascinated by the choices over the weekend, I’ve determined to stay with the thought of utilizing the teal material for the headboard and bedskirt or upholstered bedframe. I haven’t determined which one I’ll use simply but.
However I simply must go for it. I’ve a imaginative and prescient for this room, and whereas I do know my selections aren’t selections that others would make, I’ve to be okay with that. Typically it’s exhausting to maneuver ahead with a imaginative and prescient after I know folks aren’t going to love it. In spite of everything, whereas I do know I’m in the end adorning for myself, all of us need others to ooohhh and aaahhh over our completed rooms. However I’ve come to understand that there’s no choice that I’ll ever make that might be universally favored. I’ve to be okay with that. I imply, I actually need everybody to like every little thing I do, however that’s simply not sensible. All of our homes look vastly totally different particularly as a result of all of us have totally different style.
Anyway, I feel I’m over the hump of disappointment and feeling utterly deflated over the wallpaper. I’m actually enthusiastic about getting my framed chapel image completed and up on the wall. I’m anxious to see a wall crammed with ceramic birds. I lastly have a imaginative and prescient for a way I need the completed curtains to look. And I actually need to get that teal headboard made and in place. I need to take advantage of this ultimate push earlier than the top of the yr. I could not get the entire room utterly completed, however I nonetheless assume I can get most of it completed. Oh, and the recliner is being delivered on December fifth! That’s about three weeks late, however at the very least I’ve a particular supply date now.
