A Few Updates – Pendant Gentle Progress, Desk Accent Choice, and New Desk Chair Cloth Swatches

Thus far, I’ve the primary (and largest) ring completed and prepared for the subsequent ring to be assembled.

And I’ve seven extra rings completed and able to be assembled.

I’ve two colours which might be utterly painted and gilded. I nonetheless must drill holes and connect them to rings.

After which I’ve 4 colours which might be painted on the fronts, however nonetheless want gilding on the backs and fronts. Then I must drill holes and connect them to rings.

After which I’ve one colour that’s painted on fronts, gilded on backs, however nonetheless must be gilded on the fronts earlier than I can drill holes and connect them to rings.

So there’s nonetheless fairly a bit of labor to be accomplished, however I handed the midway level some time again. I hope to have a completed pendant mild within the subsequent few days.

Now transferring on to the desk. As a number of individuals steered, I took a glance to see what I may discover domestically for my desk makeover. I did discover the Goal panels and the Kirkland’s panel domestically, however they only didn’t do something for me. Then at Pastime Foyer, I discovered this panel that I actually favored, however the center half (i.e., the precise ornamental half) was product of very skinny wooden. I don’t even assume it was 1/4-inch thick, which implies that it may break very simply.

However look what I discovered…and acquired!

As quickly as I noticed these, I assumed they may be good. They appear similar to the darker inexperienced leaves within the wallpaper mural.

I really like that! It’s like these had been made for my desk! Effectively, sort of. I completely love the design, and I believe they’ll be good as soon as they’re integrated into the design and all the pieces is painted the identical colour.

However, as you may see right here, the cutout design is about an inch too brief.

I’m not fairly positive what I’m going to do about that, however I’ll work out one thing. As a result of these are too good to move up!

And eventually, let’s speak concerning the desk chair material. My final spherical of samples didn’t actually work out. I noticed virtually instantly that inexperienced wasn’t the best colour for my desk chair. So whereas I used to be at lunch with my mother final week, we talked about another prospects. She steered that I search for a stable material within the darkest colour on my favourite striped material.

I beloved that concept! As an alternative of in search of a contrasting colour, I beloved the concept of doing the chair in a colour extra much like the cupboards, however in a darker shade. So I ordered each darkish pinkish crimson velvet pattern that I may discover from KOVI. Clearly, certainly one of them was a right away “no”.

In order that left me with these 4 as prospects. They’re all very comparable, however they do have very delicate variations.

I favored all of them, however the one of many far left appeared a bit too true crimson to me. It appeared too harsh in opposition to the cupboards.

So then I used to be down to 3, and I attempted to find out which one seemed finest not solely with the cupboards, but additionally with the darkest crimson colour on the pendant mild. My eye retains going to the center swatch.

I’ll present you an in depth up of every one. The far proper swatch has some variation in colour which just about makes the velvet look shimmery, but it surely’s not.

That is the one which my eye retains getting drawn to. It has a little bit of a texture to it that jogs my memory of a tiny, micro corduroy.

After which there’s the left swatch, which has extra pink in it than the center one.

So it’s down to those three. Whichever one I select, I’m going to cowl the entire chair on this material, after which add white piping and a white three-letter monogram to the center of the entrance chair again (i.e., the place my head rests). I’m fairly enthusiastic about this concept! However I simply must decide concerning the material. As of this second, the center one is the winner for me.
