Bedroom Completion Checklist (Here’s What I Still Need To Do In The Room)

I’m so near being completed with our bed room. I’ve just some extra gadgets to examine off of my checklist earlier than it’s completed, and I’ve reached that time of the undertaking the place it looks like an enormous lull as a result of whereas I’m persevering with to work on these initiatives every day, I don’t actually have thrilling progress to share with you every day. So that is the purpose of the undertaking the place I begin to get questions like, “Wait. Did I miss the bed room reveal? Are you completed?”

No, you didn’t miss something. It’s so shut, but it surely’s not fairly there. Listed here are the gadgets I nonetheless have on my “to do” checklist for the bed room.

First, I nonetheless have to hem all 4 material panels. All 4 panels are sewn and hanging, however they appear actually sloppy proper now as a result of they’re not hemmed, and I nonetheless want to connect the returns to the wall.

I usually simply make all of my material panels for a window or a room to at least one particular size after which hold them, however as a result of the flooring on this explicit room are essentially the most unlevel flooring in our total home, I’ve determined that the hem in every panel must be pinned whereas hanging in order that they appear proper for that specific space within the room. If I sewed these all to the identical size, some would look proper whereas others would look too lengthy or too brief. *Sigh* If for no different purpose, I’ll be so glad to be executed with this room in order that I don’t must work with these unlevel flooring anymore. As soon as the whole lot is completed, I don’t suppose the unlevel flooring can be apparent, however they’ve positive made this undertaking, from the trim to the draperies, a lot more difficult.

The opposite very apparent undertaking that I nonetheless have to do is to cowl up the attic entry.

That is a type of initiatives that I’ve dragged my toes on as a result of I simply dread it. I don’t know why, although. It’ll actually require me to connect three items of trim. That’s it. Simply three items of trim. It’ll in all probability take me all of 1 hour to get this fully completed, and that features the caulking and portray. And but, I’ve put it off this lengthy. I don’t know why there are initiatives that I dread a lot even once I know they’ll be tremendous easy to complete.

After which I would like to color my little aspect desk. I attempted a wood-look end, but it surely’s nonetheless very apparent to me that it’s a metallic desk, in order that gained’t do. I’m going to color it gold and be executed with it.

That’s a easy sufficient undertaking, however I actually ought to have executed that earlier than the climate turned. So now I simply have to attend for it to heat up sufficient in order that I can get outdoors and paint. I hope to do this tomorrow. It’s imagined to be within the 60s throughout the afternoon tomorrow, so I can’t miss that window of alternative.

However from the start, I’ve needed the chicken cloth to be featured extra prominently within the room. I’ve been ready to see how the room would form as much as make my closing choice on simply how I needed to make use of the remainder of the material. Initially, I believed I would reupholster that second bench from the breakfast room with the chicken cloth and put that bench on the foot of the mattress. However now that we’ve been residing on this room for a few weeks, I’ve determined that I don’t need or want one other piece of furnishings in right here.

Then I thought-about making a easy throw or small quilt with the additional cloth. However after giving it just a little extra thought, I lastly determined to only make a quilt cowl out of it. And since I need it to match the pillows — chicken cloth with inexperienced trim — I needed to order extra inexperienced cloth to trim out the quilt cowl. I’ve the whole lot I would like for that now, so I’m hoping to get that executed within the subsequent few days. This can be my first time to make quilt cowl, however I can’t think about that it’s troublesome.

So right here’s what my closing punch checklist appears like:

Hem the material panels and connect the returns to the partitions;

Trim out the attic entry;

Paint the aspect desk;

Make a quilt cowl;

Paint the outlet covers;

Add trim by the door.
