Bedroom and Foyer Progress – Addicted 2 Decorating®

My first precedence this weekend was to get the entire image body molding minimize and connected, in order that’s the place I began. As soon as all of that was put in, and I began filling the nail holes with wooden filler, I then wanted to determine what to do about this massive hole on the backside of this wall. That’s not solely a vertical hole between the underside of the baseboard and the ground, but it surely’s additionally a niche between the entrance fringe of the baseboard and the place the flooring begins. So I knew that this may require one thing a lot bigger than a easy shoe molding or quarter spherical molding.

And since I used to be including it to the bed room, that meant that I additionally had so as to add it to the lobby. I used to be a bit annoyed having to return to an space that I assumed was completed and having to do extra, however I’m so glad I did. I feel that backside trim provides such a gorgeous final touch. Right here’s what this space regarded like earlier than the trim.

And right here it’s with the trim alongside the ground. I feel it actually completed it off properly.

Right here’s one other reminder of how the wall with the lavatory door regarded final week earlier than I added the image body molding and the underside trim…

And right here it’s with the entire trim put in. I’m nonetheless engaged on sanding the entire wooden filler on the nail holes, after which I’ll simply must caulk and paint.

This wall continues to be a multitude, however at the very least the entire trim is put in. I made a decision to attend on the priming and portray on the areas the place I had to take action a lot restore on the wavy wall. I used to be going to do it earlier than, however I simply wished to get the trim on and never have to attend for primer and paint to dry first. Since I nonetheless have to take action a lot portray, it gained’t be a giant deal to prime and paint that space once I’m portray the remainder of the trim.

This nook continues to be a little bit of a multitude, but it surely’s so a lot better than it initially regarded. And as soon as the draperies are up, that top nook might be hidden anyway, so I’m probably not nervous about it.

So I did get lots executed, however I’m now caught on the sluggish half — the entire wooden filling, sanding, and caulking. However at the very least I see that shiny mild on the finish of the tunnel, and I’m nonetheless feeling very inspired and motivated.

And I’m feeling an enormous sense of reduction now that I do know this wall will truly look first rate when it’s all stated and executed. I used to be very involved that I’d by no means be capable to disguise that unlevel flooring, however I don’t assume it appears dangerous in any respect.

In reality, I feel it appears fairly superb contemplating what I needed to work with (i.e., probably the most unlevel room in our complete home).

And in different information, I lastly introduced the brand new mirror in to see what it would appear like within the lobby. I feel it’s going to be so fairly! I simply must get the wiring run for the sconces that can flank the mirror.

And I additionally began to maneuver the ceiling field for the brand new mild, after which I spotted that earlier than I set up the brand new mild, I’m going to have to show the vent on the HVAC consumption duct in order that it opens from the opposite facet. If I maintain it as it’s, it’s going to open proper onto the brand new mild. In order that’s another challenge added to my “to do” record. Hopefully, will probably be a simple repair.

In order that’s the progress! Having to take the time to go and buy that backside trim after which minimize and set up it undoubtedly slowed me down, however I’m so glad that I did it. I feel that new trim is the right final touch for the wainscoting. It actually took the general look of the wainscoting up a notch whereas going a great distance in direction of hiding some downside areas.

I felt fairly assured that it could all work out in the long run, however I’ve to confess that I used to be having some doubts throughout that “in between” stage as I used to be engaged on the wainscoting. At one level, I assumed I had made an enormous mistake with my determination so as to add wainscoting to those areas, however persistence and inventive options have paid off. Hopefully, with these points solved, I can get these partitions fully completed within the subsequent couple of days.
