It’s December 1st. It hardly appears doable, however right here we’re. On this remaining month of the 12 months, I need to do my easiest to complete the 12 months with a powerful push in the direction of getting the house fitness center completed.
Now for those who’re questioning, “Wait. What concerning the rest room?” don’t fear. I’ll be displaying you the completed rest room simply as quickly as I can. I nonetheless must do some paint touchups, hem the bathe curtains, and put the privateness movie on the lavatory door. After which there’s this…
That may be Matt’s vainness mirror, which is now damaged in to 6 items. Ugh!! Thank goodness it’s mounted on a thick cardboard backing, or it could be in much more items everywhere in the flooring.
I used to be attempting to take the mirror out of the body in order that I may paint the body, and although I attempted my greatest to be as cautious as doable, it had been put into the body utilizing a lot caulk that it simply snapped like a twig. In hindsight, I want I had simply taped off the mirror to color the body, however after my mirror got here out of its body fairly simply, I figured his would, too.
So now I’ve to take this to the native glass store and get this mirror recut, and with its customized form, I’m certain that received’t be a one-day turnaround. So it’s trying prefer it’ll need to be subsequent week earlier than I can get the mirror, take all the photos, edit the photographs, and share the entire earlier than and after (and in between) rest room with y’all.
Anyway, there’s no use crying about it. Stuff like that’s sure to occur each once-in-a-while, so it’s not an enormous deal. Within the meantime, I plan to complete up these final two or three remaining objects, after which flip my consideration to the house fitness center.
Our poor dwelling fitness center. 😀 For months and months now, it has been used as a storage room for all the rest room supplies and as a workshop the place I exploit my miter noticed to chop every little thing and construct the vanities and storage cupboard. So now it’s time to get all of that cleared out and picked up, as a result of as of this second, it seems to be just like the aftermath of a storm.
So right here’s what I nonetheless must get performed within the dwelling fitness center earlier than I can name this room completed:
- Clear out the room.
- End the trim alongside the ceiling (the small trim that I opted for as an alternative of crown molding).
- End the door and window trim (nonetheless must be sanded, caulked, and painted).
- End putting in hardwood flooring within the closet space.
- Vacuum all the room, flooring to ceiling, to get all the sawdust off of every little thing.
- Paint touchups on the wall.
- Paint the door.
- Set up the froth fitness center flooring.
- Construct the Swedish ladder (which can go towards the wall the place the vast teal stripe is between the 2 home windows).
- Purchase or construct a storage cupboard for the closet (will probably be used for Matt’s gaming space).
- Purchase a TV and cling it on the wall within the closet.
- Add cabinets to the closet space.
- Set up the ceiling fan.
- Set up recessed lighting within the closet space.
- Grasp curtains (I made a decision to go forward with the sheer curtains that I bought for this room).
- Grasp the mirrors on the wall.
- Transfer in the remainder of the fitness center gear.
I don’t have any expectation that I’m going to complete each single factor earlier than the tip of the 12 months, particularly contemplating that I normally take off the week between Christmas and New Yr (that’s once I get all of my tacky Christmas rom-com watching performed 😀 ).
However I’d like to make an actual concerted effort to get as a lot performed as doable over the following three weeks, and cross off as a lot of these objects from the checklist as doable in order that I can begin the brand new 12 months off with a room that’s simple to complete.
After which I can get on with the room that many people are anxious for me to complete — my studio.
So there’s nonetheless fairly a bit to be performed in on this rooml, however I’m undoubtedly on the downhill slide in the direction of the end line. All the actually difficult issues — these striped partitions, putting in the window trim, and so on. — are performed. Of all of the venture left to do, essentially the most troublesome one will probably be constructing the Swedish ladder, however I’ve gone over these constructing plans so many occasions in my head that I don’t anticipate that venture being an issue.
I believe as soon as I get this room cleaned out, that may encourage me to get busy in right here and get all of those remaining initiatives completed. How good will probably be to have a completed, usable grasp rest room AND a completed, usable dwelling fitness center!
