Properly, I’m nonetheless engaged on trim within the bed room. I’m so irritated that it’s taking this lengthy, however all I can do is maintain transferring ahead and maintaining my eye on the top objective. However I did take a while out from engaged on trim yesterday to put in the brand new lobby ceiling mild. I simply wanted to see one thing fairly.
For those who’ll keep in mind, I needed to transfer the sunshine within the lobby. This lobby was a lot bigger than it’s now, so the ceiling junction field for the sunshine was now not centered within the lobby.
So after taking that mild down, putting in a junction field within the appropriate spot, and transferring the wire over to the brand new field, I used this drywall patch to cowl over the outlet for the outdated junction field.
In truth, I didn’t even take away the outdated junction field as a result of it was a brand new work field, which meant that it was put in place earlier than the drywall went up. So getting it out would have induced extra harm to the drywall, and that may have required much more restore. So I simply left the outdated metallic junction field proper the place it’s, caught this patch over it, after which utilized the drywall mud on prime.
And as you’ll be able to see, it nonetheless must be sanded, primed, and painted. I had hoped to get that finished yesterday, however the drywall mud was nonetheless moist after I went to mattress final evening. So I’ll must get that finished this weekend.
However right here is the brand new mild, and I completely find it irresistible!
Because it seems, I gained’t have to show the HVAC consumption vent round in any case. There’s about an inch of area between the vent cowl and the sunshine, so it opens freely with out banging into the sunshine.
After all, I nonetheless want to scrub the vent cowl. 😀 I’m attempting to maintain the filter modified often as I’m nonetheless engaged on dusty tasks, however I’m not going to take the time to scrub the vent cowl till all the dusty tasks are completed. I’m so shut!! However I simply created yet one more dusty mission with that drywall patch on the ceiling.
This mild is from Wayfair (affiliate hyperlink), and total, I actually find it irresistible. However I’d give it about an 8 out of 10 ranking for 2 causes.
First, the set up directions have been a joke. I’m fairly certain this mild was made in China, and the directions have been written by somebody who is aware of little or no English. That was very unhelpful. I used to be capable of determine it out as a result of I’ve put in numerous lights in my life. It was fairly simple, however as I used to be taking the items out of the packaging, there have been a few items that baffled me, and I had no thought what how they went on the fixture. However I lastly figured it out by a strategy of elimination.
And second, the ring that goes on the ceiling (i.e., the cover, or magnificence ring, or no matter it’s known as) is product of very skinny metallic. I wasn’t happy with that in any respect. The remainder of the sunshine is nicely made, however that cover simply feels skinny and low cost, prefer it might bend simply. Fortunately, I managed to get it put in with out damaging it. And as soon as it was up, I beloved the look of the sunshine. I nonetheless must get the right lightbulbs for it, and I additionally need to get a dimmer change for the sunshine. The one bulbs I had readily available are all unsuitable and virtually blindingly vibrant, and I solely have two of the 4 bulbs in there proper now.
So till I can get the right bulbs, I’ll simply maintain the sunshine off and admire it extra as jewellery for the ceiling slightly than a helpful ceiling mild.
The excellent news is that I actually like the way it seems from each course. It even seems nice with the sunshine within the music room, which I’ll present y’all as quickly as I can get the music room cleaned up a bit. 😀 Proper now, it’s cluttered with stuff from this bed room mission.
My essential concern was how it will look exterior the closet, however I believe it seems improbable! It subtly carries that flower motif onto the ceiling, regardless that it’s not overtly a flower mild fixture.
So a minimum of I might mark off one mission from my “to do” record yesterday, even when the trim is taking without end.
In different information, I discovered the material that I’m going to make use of on one of many pillows for the bench within the lobby. And it’s a hand towel! I’ve had these tea towels for a very long time, and I occurred to have one in my hand after I walked into the lobby from the kitchen. I tossed the towel on the bench, and after I got here again to get it, I noticed it will be good as a pillow cowl!
Because the ones I’ve have truly been used as towels to dry dishes, and so they’ve been by the wash numerous instances, I went forward and ordered two extra new ones to make use of as a pillow cowl. I like the way it has the sunshine blue from the closet and pulls that colour into the lobby.
In order that was a cheerful accident and an opportunity discovery. I purchased these towels from Werkshoppe, and so they have so many cute and colourful designs. So in the event you’re in search of tea towels OR material for pillow covers, you would possibly verify them out!
Properly, it seems like I’ll be spending my weekend on trim. I’m not even going to say that I’ll end it this weekend, as a result of y’all have seen how nicely that’s labored out for me this final week. Ugh. I used to be so certain I’d be finished by final Monday, however right here I’m, nonetheless engaged on trim. It’ll get finished ultimately, although. I’m simply doing what I can every day and attempting to remain centered.
