I feel I’ve another day of engaged on the trim and partitions within the bed room. In fact, I believed that earlier than heading into final weekend, and we see how effectively that labored out for me. 😀 However I did find yourself including extra trim, in order that induced a delay. However now that the trim is all on, most of it’s sanded, and I simply want to complete up the caulking and portray (and I’ve an uninterrupted work day forward of me), I actually suppose I can get it executed at the moment.
Within the meantime, I actually need to determine on what to do with this dresser, and several other of you’ve supplied varied choices and opinions. That is the dresser that I’ll be utilizing within the bed room. It was in our outdated bed room, but it surely’s been saved in my workshop for a few yr now.

I wasn’t even positive if I used to be going to make use of it in our new bed room. I thought-about eliminating it and shopping for one thing new. However the truth is that I can virtually by no means discover something I like “as is” that can also be in my funds. All of the dressers I like “as is” are effectively over $1000, and I simply merely don’t wish to spend that cash on a brand new dresser when I’ve a superbly good one already.

I actually like the peak of this one. I feel it’s about 45 inches tall, or possibly a bit taller. I really like that it has 9 drawers. And I like that it’s not too deep. It’s additionally fairly heavy and durable, so it’s not like a Walmart piece of furnishings. I don’t suppose I’d discover a higher one in my value vary, so I’m sticking with this one.
Anyway, this dresser will go on the left facet of this lengthy wall and shall be instantly throughout from our mattress.

And to the proper of the dresser is the place I’ll have my studying nook with this recliner from Inside Outline.

After which, after all, you understand the remainder of the plan…

I have already got virtually every part for the bed room, together with the rug…

And the headboard cloth. I’m going to make use of that orange/coral strong cloth for the welt wire across the headboard. After which the teal velvet cloth is for the draperies.

As you may see, I’ve a reasonably constant coloration palette. Teal is clearly the principle coloration for the room — higher partitions, draperies, recliner. The orange/coral coloration is the apparent secondary coloration — birds within the headboard cloth, welt wire on the headboard, accent on the draperies, rug, pillow on the recliner, lamps on bedside tables, and so forth.
So with that coloration palette, I’m undecided what to do with that dresser. I do know that I don’t need extra teal. I feel that might be teal overload. I had thought-about portray it a very delicate orange/coral coloration, not almost as daring as the opposite orange/corals within the room. However because it’s so giant, I worry that it might be overpowering, even when it’s a extra muted coloration. Or possibly it doesn’t should be muted in any respect. Possibly it must be daring orange/coral. Ugh. I simply don’t know.
There are additionally another colours in that headboard cloth, like that fairly inexperienced. But when I take advantage of that inexperienced on one thing giant just like the dresser, I’ll positively should steadiness that out with inexperienced on the mattress and possibly at the least one different place within the room.
After which the ultimate choice could be to color it white. However y’all know the way I really feel about portray furnishings white. That’s such a tough factor for me to wrap my head round, and it goes in opposition to each impulse I’ve. White furnishings simply isn’t “me”.
So I’m undecided which path to go together with this. If I have been pressured to decide on at this very second, I feel I’d most likely go together with that delicate inexperienced from the headboard cloth, after which work that inexperienced into different areas within the room, like accent pillows on the mattress.
I don’t wish to get into one other scenario like I did with the closet the place I’m testing out 20 completely different paint colours. I wish to decide, keep it up, and get it executed. I’m simply having a tough time envisioning any of those choices. It could be a lot simpler if I had the recliner in hand, but it surely may be one other two weeks earlier than it arrives. So till then, all I’ve is a small swatch of the material.
Anyway, what do you concentrate on that gentle inexperienced? Or would that be an excessive amount of of a 3rd coloration? Would that throw off the steadiness of the entire room and the colour palette I’ve obtained happening for the room? I ought to point out that there’s no inexperienced within the space rug. It does have that very same gentle brown coloration from the headboard cloth, although. Possibly that’s an alternative choice I ought to think about.
