Bedroom Trim Progress (It’s Not Going Well)

The excellent news is that this lengthy wall went pretty easily. I’m grateful that the principle wall within the entrance of the room is the wall that’s fairly flat and might be probably the most degree and sq. in the entire room.

I’m particularly grateful for that because it’s the one wall that gained’t have furnishings or draperies layered over it. I did this wall first, and I used to be feeling fairly assured. However that confidence light fairly shortly as I moved across the room.

However utilizing that technique, as I received to the final wall the place the bed room chair rail meets the lobby chair rail, I used to be about an inch-and-a-half off.

I misplaced rely on what number of occasions I eliminated the chair rail and re-installed it. I used to be truthfully contemplating falling by the wayside and arising with a brand new plan, however I’m approach too cussed for that.

Anyway, I believe I received this wall with the lavatory door trying fairly respectable. It’s not excellent, however as soon as all the things is within the room, I believe it’ll look good.

And the headboard wall is okay. Once more, I needed to take away and reinstall that trim numerous occasions, however I lastly received it trying fairly degree (splitting the distinction right here, and splitting the distinction there). However this wall might be largely coated with draperies and a headboard anyway, so I’m not too involved.

However this nook is simply…UGH. It’s so out of degree which you could see it. I imply, there’s no disguising that.

So putting in the trim there was a nightmare. I’m nonetheless not happy with the way it appears, so I’ll most likely find yourself taking these baseboard items off, trimming some off of the underside, and reinstalling it so that it’s going to disguise that prime level within the ground a bit extra.

I imply, you’ll be able to see simply by it that the baseboard trim goes up in direction of the nook of the room. It’s very clearly not degree with the trim below the window. In fact, there’s zero likelihood that the window is degree, so there might be extra “splitting the distinction” required there as nicely.

After which there’s this wall, the waviest wall in the home. You’ll be able to see how wavy it’s simply by the shadows below the chair rail.

And there’s no disguising that wave with the trim.

The baseboard appears dangerous, however the chair rail look even worse. That hole is far larger than it appears within the image, however even within the image, it appears big. That’s approach an excessive amount of to fill with caulk.

After which there’s this wall. Whereas the others have been dangerous, this one is the worst. The ground dips down within the center, so I’m left with this massive hole below the baseboards. Plus, the flooring doesn’t go all the best way to the wall as a result of the room isn’t sq., so one board tapers off proper within the center.

I believe that hole is just too massive to cowl with common quarter spherical, so I’ll should get artistic.

After which working round a door that IS degree and sq., however that’s set right into a wall that isn’t in any respect degree made that chair rail set up even more durable. I needed to get the chair rail considerably in step with the grid on the door on either side, however with the ground so unlevel, it was not a simple job.

Anyway, this has been one of the irritating tasks I’ve ever achieved. I don’t keep in mind ever having to take away and reinstall trim as many occasions as I’ve needed to do on this room. And you’ll see the challenges that I’m coping with. I WILL get it achieved, nevertheless it has been way more difficult than I anticipated. And I’m going to should do one thing about that wavy wall, which makes me really feel like I’m going backwards as a substitute of forwards. That’s irritating.

So, take it from me. For those who’re eager to do wainscoting in a room, be sure that the ground and ceiling are not less than considerably degree first. When you have areas which are very clearly not degree, possibly give you a Plan B and depart the wainscoting for an additional room. 😀
