I nonetheless didn’t end the curtains for our bed room, however I did have some small successes over the weekend. First up, for those who’ve been following this bed room venture from the start, you know the way annoyed I’ve develop into looking for the right desk lamps for our bedside tables. A couple of folks jogged my memory to look on Fb Market place (which I all the time neglect about), and I instantly discovered the right lamps. Sadly, that they had already been bought.
After about two extra days of keeping track of Market, I lastly gave up and purchases two of those ginger jar lamps (affiliate hyperlink). I didn’t love the concept of spending simply over $100 per lamps once I plan to color them, however I preferred all the pieces else about these lamps — the lampshade, the gold accents, and the ginger jar form.
After making that buy, the right lamps confirmed up on Market the very subsequent day. I imply, they’re not fairly good but, however they are going to be. Of their present state, the colour and end of the lamp base is all improper and I actually dislike the lamp shade. However all of that may be modified. What I used to be actually thinking about is the form of the lamp base and the potential it has.


Whereas it appears to be like very totally different from the unique lamps that I actually needed (however have been method out of my worth vary), it has the identical qualities that may permit me to imitate the design of these authentic lamps with the entire totally different “layers” and the center urn form. And I used to be really fairly excited that the lamp bases have been extra substantial than the unique lamps.


I can’t wait to provide these a makeover impressed by these authentic lamps and see how these prove. I’ve excessive hopes! And the very best half is that they have been solely $40 for the pair. They’re a bit taller than I needed, however that’s okay. I can modify the peak of the headboard accordingly. I did should drive to Killeen (an hour away) to get them, however it was effectively price it.


I additionally discovered the (soon-to-be) good facet desk for the recliner. I had my coronary heart set on a small desk with a turned wooden spindle look. The entire actual wooden facet tables with turned wooden on Amazon seemed low-cost to me (particularly, the best way the spindle screwed collectively within the center), so I made a decision to pay attention extra on form (identical to the lamps) as a substitute of fabric. That’s when I discovered this cute steel facet desk (affiliate hyperlink).


I really like the form of this desk. It took about two minutes to assemble. It is available in black and this cream coloration. I purchased this one as a result of I believed the sunshine coloration can be simpler to cowl and customise than the black. Now the problem is to make this appear like mild, pure wooden. Problem accepted. 🙂


And eventually, I made a decision to go together with the best choice for my bother wall that has the breaker field on it. I’m not going to attempt to cover the truth that the TV is a TV. I’m going to construct a body round it like I’ve executed for our earlier TVs, however this time as a substitute of portray it white, I’m going to do a pure wooden coloration. After which I’m going to cover the breaker field with a chunk of art work.
I briefly thought-about making my very own art work, however I dominated that out fairly rapidly and determined to discover a print that I really like from an precise artist. I had my coronary heart set on a panorama, so I set out on my search. I discovered about ten that I believed would work, after which narrowed down that choice to the next finalists.
The third choice was completely totally different. This colourful summary print set (a digital obtain) from Line2Form on Etsy (affiliate hyperlink) caught my eye for apparent causes. I’d solely be capable of use certainly one of them, and I wasn’t positive if it will work due to the dominant fuchsia coloration since our bed room has no pinks in it. However art work doesn’t should match a room completely, so I saved it as a finalist.


This panorama artwork print from BlackPeonyX on Etsy (affiliate hyperlink) additionally caught my eye. I really like the print, however I feared it would lean a little bit too “southwest” in type. The rug in our bed room may simply tackle that southwest type as effectively relying on what else goes within the room, and that’s not likely a method that I wish to lean into. However I saved this as a finalist anyway.


This Texas Panorama print from Hellstrom Prints on Etsy (affiliate hyperlink) was initially my favourite, however I used to be afraid that the general look is perhaps too darkish in opposition to the darkish teal wallpaper. I hoped for one thing with the identical colours, however with an general lighter and brighter look to it. However this one ended up being the runner up.


The ultimate choice was this Hidden Spring artwork print by Mya Bessette on Minted (affiliate hyperlink). I’ve adopted Mya on Instagram for years now, and I used to be so excited to seek out this print on her Minted account that works completely with the colours in our bed room. And it has that general mild, vibrant look that I hoped for.


After I narrowed down my favorites, I took my laptop computer into the bed room, sat down on the ground in order that I may see the wall the place the art work would dangle, and I thought-about the entire choices. The primary two have been method too pastel for the room. With the third choice, I discovered the fuchsia to be method too overpowering. Simply as I suspected, the “southwest” print seemed much more “southwest” with the rug, in order that wasn’t an choice. That left me with the ultimate two, and naturally, I went with the lighter and brighter choice. I ordered the print and paid for rush transport, and it ought to be right here right now!
It’s going to be fairly large. It must be with a purpose to cowl the breaker field whereas additionally hanging excessive sufficient to be proportional to the framed TV. Because it’ll be so large, I’ve deserted the concept of hanging it on hinges. It will likely be a lot simpler to hold it on a French cleat in order that it may be rapidly and simply faraway from the wall once I have to entry the breaker field.
So the entire little particulars are coming collectively, however on the similar time, I’ve created a number of extra (small) venture for myself. That’s okay, although. I’m to the enjoyable half on this bed room venture, and a part of the enjoyable is the creating and customizing. I’m actually excited to see all of those smaller initiatives come collectively.
