I’ve been working a bit slower these final couple of days due to my injured hand (which you can read about here), however I’ve managed to make some respectable progress within the bed room and lobby. I received the entire partitions primed with not less than one coat of primer, and I received a second coat on most of them earlier than I ran out of primer final night time.
I used to be amazed at what a distinction a few coats of primer made. Simply seeing the partitions round my completed walk-in closet go from this mess…

…to this clear slate, prepared for trim and wallpaper was so thrilling to me. This seems like I’ve crossed the primary large hurdle.


And as soon as I noticed these stripes disappear, and I noticed the partitions all white, I began to get actually enthusiastic about my plans for these partitions.
I took a while to plan out my wainscoting venture. I made a decision some time again to go together with easy image body molding reasonably than the extra laborious judges paneling, however I nonetheless wanted to map out how could rectangles I need on these partitions. The very last thing I need is to wind up with the partitions trying busy with quite a lot of little rectangles, however I used to be additionally working into the issue of getting so many partitions which can be numerous widths.
My intuition is to make the entire rectangles as shut in measurement as doable. However the different day, as Matt and I have been watching a TV present, I paused the present as a result of the wainscoting in a home grabbed my consideration. Reasonably than having rectangles that have been all near an equal measurement. They only had one large rectangle on many of the partitions. On the actually lengthy partitions, they have been separated into two or perhaps three rectangles. Nevertheless it was clear that whoever put in that wainscoting had no intention of even making an attempt to make the rectangles on any of the partitions look the identical width. They merely adopted the width of the partitions, and it regarded unbelievable!
In order that’s what I’ve determined to do on many of the partitions, whatever the measurement. On the partitions flanking the walk-in closet, I’ll do one rectangle on either side.


Similar goes for the remainder of the partitions within the lobby. (You may see the place I ran out of primer and didn’t get a second coat on.) So these partitions…


…will appear like this, with one rectangle of image body molding per wall.


That is the realm that I used to be essentially the most involved about as a result of that door is certainly not centered on that wall. There’s nothing I can do about that, although, so I’ve to reside with it.


So I’ll simply proceed the on with the one rectangle per wall plan, despite the fact that that leaves me with one actually slender rectangle to the left of the bed room doorways. I feel it’ll look nice as soon as it’s all completed.


The bed room partitions are just a little bit more difficult as a result of I’ve some fairly huge areas in right here. I wasn’t certain whether or not to maintain these to the one rectangle per wall rule or divide these up. (I nonetheless have to do some priming with a brush. I solely did the components I may prime with a curler yesterday.)


Since most of this shall be behind the mattress, I made a decision to go together with one rectangle on this wall as nicely.


And on this wall, I’ve yet one more off-center door to work round.


However once more, as a result of I don’t need issues getting too busy, so I’m going to maintain these to at least one rectangle as nicely.


However the different two partitions are the place I received conflicted. I feel that lengthy span of wall to the best of the lavatory door is approach too lengthy for one rectangle.


To be able to make the rectangles on that wall look considerably comparable, I feel I may need to interrupt that lengthy wall up into three rectangles. That’s additionally the wall that would be the most seen since I don’t have any plans to place furnishings towards that wall. All the different partitions within the bed room may have furnishings and/or draperies in entrance of them.


UPDATE: Somebody prompt I strive two rectangles to the best of the door, and I feel I like this higher.


And at last, there’s this final wall. That is the one I’m nonetheless unsure about. (And that’s the place I ran out of primer.)


I attempted it two methods. Right here’s what it woud appear like with three rectangles…


And right here’s what it might appear like with two rectangles…


The 2 rectangles would make them extra the dimensions of the one on the wall to the best, and the three rectangles would make them extra the dimensions of those on the wall to the left (except I’m going with two rectangles on the wall on the left). I’m not going to get hung up on this resolution, although, as a result of this wall may have furnishings towards it. However I do need it to look good and appear like I put some thought into it. My preliminary intuition is to go together with two. That approach, I don’t take an opportunity on it trying too busy, and I additionally don’t take an opportunity on having these retailers in the best way of the place the trim must go.
So issues are shifting ahead, and there may be progress. It’s sluggish progress due to my injured hand, however not less than it’s progress! And I’m so glad to lastly have these stripes gone! With clear, white partitions, I can actually envision my wainscoting and wallpaper plan for these areas, and I’m getting actually excited to see these partitions completed.
