Today my living room is the scene of a bit of an oddity, the unsittably pillowed chair!.
So here’s the area that we’re working with here:.So as you can see, we have a vent pipe and it needed covering.
We decided that our best bet would probably be a combination of stainless steel and wood for this project.The wood because it would be easy to work with to get it to fit properly next to our really slopey kitchen ceiling, and the stainless steel to match all the stainless steel everywhere else.. We started out with four “posts” made out of 2×2 pine, sanded them down really well, and then cut slots for the stainless steel to slide into.. Next, I painted the parts of the posts that would be visible with the same paint we used for the cabinets.. Then it was time to assemble!We had three sheets of 30 gauge stainless steel cut to cover the front and the two sides of the pipe and go all the way back to the wall.. We used GE Iron Grip adhesive to put the whole thing together and that really helped make this project a success rather than a total disaster.
You may remember that we used the same adhesive a few weeks ago on our cabinet moulding update.The GE Iron Grip adhesive is allows you to confidently glue pretty much any two objects together, even materials that are typically difficult for other adhesives like steel, PVC, glass, concrete, and porcelain, and since it’s 100% silicone it won’t shrink or lose adhesion over time.
We had to get a little bit creative with our assembly methods here because this type of stainless steel actually comes on huge rolls and so it has a slight bend to it.
We were able to fix that though, no problem!.There’s no other piece of decor in a bathroom that takes up quite as much room or makes a bigger impact.
I’ve been getting excited about the possibilities with all my new bathroom decor that I’ll get to shop for soon and here are 10 of my favorite shower curtains that I’ve found.It doesn’t hurt that they’re affordable on absolutely.
