Walk-In Closet Progress – Wallpaper, Sconces, Mirror, and Trim

I’ve dreamed about this part of the closet for thus lengthy, and I’ve to say, this turned out even higher than what I’ve envisioned in my thoughts all this time. I can’t cease gazing it. I can’t stroll by this room with out stopping and peeking in to admire how this turned out.

I did find yourself utilizing the underside items on the sconces, however I used my miter noticed to chop them down significantly. They’re lower than half the size that they have been initially.

I assumed that the unique items have been absurdly lengthy, however I additionally agreed with lots of you that it appeared unfinished if I eliminated these items utterly.

So I assumed that reducing them down was a very good compromise. Reducing them with my miter noticed left the ends wanting a bit brown and chipped, so I nonetheless have to do some paint touchup on the minimize ends.

I simply love every part about this part, from the necklace bar to the jewellery drawer with the semi-custom jewellery drawer inserts, to the wallpaper…every part. I like it when a imaginative and prescient turns into actuality.

As lots of you urged, I additionally carried the wallpaper onto the highest of that cupboard part. I hadn’t deliberate to do this. In each single mockup I confirmed of this part, I at all times confirmed a painted high…

So after I very excitedly confirmed the wallpapered part yesterday, and so many urged that I wallpaper the highest, I’ve to confess that I used to be a bit irritated. (My exhaustion yesterday most likely made it worse 😀 ). However y’all have been proper. It seems to be so significantly better with the wallpaper carried to the highest.

However as a result of I had already minimize the wallpaper across the high, I nonetheless had so as to add trim across the high. I took the wallpaper to Residence Depot and had them colour match the darkest blue within the paper in a pattern measurement of matte paint, and I used that to color the shoe molding that I utilized in hopes that it will type of disappear. I additionally used my desk noticed to tear the shoe molding even smaller than its regular measurement in order that it may very well be as small as doable whereas nonetheless masking over the minimize edges of the wallpaper. I used to be nonetheless in a position to match the sample, and when wanting on the part as an entire, that trim type of disappears.

I nonetheless have to fill and contact up the nail holes in that trim. As soon as that’s accomplished, I don’t suppose it’ll stand out in any respect.

I additionally bought the trim painted and hooked up alongside the underside to cowl the minimize edges of the wallpaper alongside the underside.

These nail holes additionally must be crammed and touched up, and I’ll additionally caulk and paint the place the trim meets the countertop, so it can additionally mix in additional than it does now. However at the very least I don’t must preserve taking a look at these minimize wallpaper edges.

And, in fact, very quickly the mirror will replicate fairly issues — blue cupboards on the opposite facet of the room with my garments hanging in these sections. For now, now we have to see unfinished cupboards, my ladder, my work mild, and so on. 😀 However I can’t get sufficient of this wallpaper!

I had been a little bit bit involved that the mirror may cowl up an excessive amount of of the wallpaper print, however I feel the proper quantity of wallpaper reveals on this part. And I like how my white sconces look in opposition to the darkish background of the wallpaper.

And naturally, it’ll look even higher as soon as I get extra lighting added to the room. Proper now, it nonetheless seems to be fairly darkish in right here.

And people sconces don’t even have electrical energy but. I’m nonetheless making an attempt to resolve how I would like all the lighting wired, how might switches I would like, and which lights I need to be managed by which change.

I used to be additionally a bit uncertain how the grey jewellery drawer would look as soon as every part was completed. I had talked about in a earlier submit that I would use a coral accent colour for the drawer. However in the long run, I’m very glad that I went with a lightweight grey in order that the drawer doesn’t draw an excessive amount of consideration away from the wallpaper and different fairly gadgets. I feel the grey labored out completely.

And this necklace bar must be my favourite factor. I like the way it turns my necklaces into what seems to be like an artwork set up beneath the countertop.

So the toughest and most detailed a part of the room is completed, minus a number of minor touchups.

Effectively, I suppose that’s not utterly true. I do nonetheless have an entire island to construct. However the hardest and most detailed a part of the perimeter cupboards is completed. And it turned out even higher than I had hoped.
