Four Color & Paint Options For My Studio Desk

I had such an important day yesterday! I had my ordinary lunch with my mother and brother, however we have been joined by two extra individuals who aren’t often at our desk. A kind of folks was one in every of my dearest pals from Houston, and we talked and laughed from midday till about 10:00pm final evening. It was simply what I wanted after the earlier extremely hectic, emotional, exhausting, and troublesome day and evening with Matt. So I felt refreshed, invigorated, and able to hit the bottom operating right now on my remaining studio tasks.

After studying your entire feedback and options about my studio desk, I’ve realized that as an alternative of solely two totally different choices, I’ve 4 totally different choices for the colours and paint decisions. So thanks for that. 😀 Simply kidding. I do love choices, so I must suppose by this a bit extra.

As a refresher (or if you happen to’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 high, 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 word of the totally different options for paint and shade mixture choices that I appreciated, and that I’m now contemplating. They’re…

Gold Base With White Prime

I feel it is 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 here are the 2 further 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 actually dislike the present darkish stained wooden high that’s on the desk proper now, so I used to be wanting to go in a completely totally different route. However I don’t need to do a stained high. I may order a chunk of walnut veneer, and simply use it in its pure shade like I did on the vanities and cupboard in our toilet. That might remove that darkish, heavy, faux stained look, and would add extra pure wooden heat to the room. It could look extra like this Keliah dining table from Wayfair.

I actually love that concept, however clearly, I wouldn’t have the ability to end it over this subsequent weekend as a result of I’d have to attend for the walnut veneer to reach. However the wait could be value it! It could undoubtedly be simpler to look after 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 seems to be 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 high, however I used to be so exited in regards to the prospect of ending this desk makeover within the subsequent couple of days. The concept of getting to attend for walnut veneer to reach doesn’t thrill me, however I do produce other tasks that I can work on whereas I wait. I nonetheless have trim that must be put in and completed, and two doorways that should be painted. So these issues may hold me busy this weekend whereas I watch for veneer.

I do know a number of folks recommended alternative ways of highlighting the leaf element on the perimeters of the desk. I did contemplate these options, however in the long run, I made a decision that I want the leaf cutout to be a delicate element that’s painted the identical shade as the remainder of the bottom slightly than having it stand out as a highlighted element. So I’ll undoubtedly be portray all the 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 gained’t be black. Or eggplant. Or every other darkish shade. 🙂
