I’m nonetheless engaged on the bed room curtains, so sadly, I gained’t be ending this yr on the weblog with this huge venture marked off of my “to do” record. However I did get one panel completed to the purpose that we are able to evaluate the unique model and this new model and see the distinction.
After I began making these draperies, I made a decision to wrap the trim across the fringe of the forefront of every panel. For some purpose, I assumed utilizing the complete width of the trim could be an excessive amount of. However as I shared earlier this week, as soon as the primary panel was nearly completed and I hung it as much as pin the hem, I wasn’t actually happy with the look of the wrapped trim.
So yesterday, I did a complete lot of ripping out seams and eradicating trim. Then I principally began over. I solely acquired one panel to the purpose that it was prepared to hold, with the pleats completed, in order that I can pin within the hem. And as quickly as I stepped again to have a look, I breathed a sigh of aid. With the ability to see the complete width of the trim seems so significantly better to my eye. It has a way more polished {and professional} look to it.
And opposite to my unique concern, I don’t suppose it’s too daring in any respect. It positively helps that I coffee-dyed the trim to tone it down a bit. Had I stored it in its unique brighter orange shade, I feel it may need been too daring. However with its new toned down colours, I like it.
So that is the place I’m leaving issues for this yr. That doesn’t imply that I gained’t work on the bed room at everywhere in the subsequent two weeks. Actually, I totally plan to proceed engaged on the bed room over the following two weeks. The distinction is that I gained’t put any stress on myself to get issues executed every day. If I wish to take a complete day without work to learn and watch motion pictures with Matt, that’s what I’ll do. But when I really feel impressed to make an upholstered headboard, I’ll do this. After which I’ll meet y’all again right here on Monday, January fifth, and we’ll choose up proper the place we left off.
I’m a little bit bit disenchanted that I didn’t get the bed room suite fully completed by the tip of this yr. However on the identical time, I’m very happy with the work that I did get completed. This was an enormous venture, so I’m not going to beat myself up for it taking a little bit longer than I had anticipated. As a substitute, I’m going to finish this yr wanting again at how far I’ve come.
This room has come a good distance! It went from this…
