Four Color & Paint Options For My Studio Desk

I had such an incredible day yesterday! I had my standard lunch with my mother and brother, however we had been joined by two extra individuals who aren’t normally at our desk. A type of individuals was considered one of my dearest associates from Houston, and we talked and laughed from midday till about 10:00pm final night time. It was simply what I wanted after the earlier extremely nerve-racking, emotional, exhausting, and tough day and night time with Matt. So I felt refreshed, invigorated, and able to hit the bottom working immediately on my last studio initiatives.

After studying your entire feedback and solutions about my studio desk, I’ve realized that as a substitute of solely two totally different choices, I’ve 4 totally different choices for the colours and paint selections. So thanks for that. 😀 Simply kidding. I do love choices, so I have to assume via this a bit extra.

As a refresher (or should you’re new round right here), my desk shall be sitting in entrance of those cupboards…

And my desk, which began out with a black base and a darkish stained wooden prime, is getting a little bit of a makeover to loosen up the look and provides it a carved leaf panel element on the perimeters…

So once more, after studying your feedback, I made observe of the totally different solutions for paint and shade mixture choices that I favored, and that I’m now contemplating. They’re…

Gold Base With White Prime

I feel this can be a traditional look. It’s easy, elegant, traditional, and would go nice in my studio. Right here’s an example from Homary.

This desk from Walmart has an extra gold element on the white desktop, which I actually like.

So these are the to choices that I already had in thoughts, however listed below are the 2 extra choices I’m contemplating after prepared the feedback on yesterday’s publish…

White Base Wooden Prime

I hadn’t even thought of this selection as a result of I’ve grown to essentially dislike the present darkish stained wooden prime that’s on the desk proper now, so I used to be wanting to move in a very totally different route. However I don’t need to do a stained prime. I may order a bit of walnut veneer, and simply use it in its pure shade like I did on the vanities and cupboard in our toilet. That will eradicate that darkish, heavy, faux stained look, and would add extra pure wooden heat to the room. It will look extra like this Keliah dining table from Wayfair.

I actually love that concept, however clearly, I wouldn’t be capable of end it over this subsequent weekend as a result of I’d have to attend for the walnut veneer to reach. However the wait may be price it! It will undoubtedly be simpler to take care of than a painted floor. And it will carry the heat of my vintage walnut woven window shades into one other a part of the room, which I like.

I feel my fake marble on our espresso desk is prettier than this fake marble on this eating desk, however this dining table from Povison reveals what it appears like with a gold base.

So these are the 4 choices. My favourite at this very second is definitely the white base with the walnut prime, however I used to be so exited concerning the prospect of ending this desk makeover within the subsequent couple of days. The thought of getting to attend for walnut veneer to reach doesn’t thrill me, however I do produce other initiatives that I can work on whereas I wait. I nonetheless have trim that must be put in and completed, and two doorways that must be painted. So these issues may hold me busy this weekend whereas I look ahead to veneer.

I do know a number of individuals recommended alternative ways of highlighting the leaf element on the perimeters of the desk. I did think about these solutions, however in the long run, I made a decision that I favor the leaf cutout to be a delicate element that’s painted the identical shade as the remainder of the bottom somewhat than having it stand out as a highlighted element. So I’ll undoubtedly be portray the entire base one shade. I’m simply not 100% certain proper now if that shade shall be white or gold. I do know for certain that it received’t be black. Or eggplant. Or every other darkish shade. 🙂
