Bedroom Progress – The Trim Isn’t Finished, But It’s Getting There!

I did find yourself having to chop the entire items into two in order that I may deal with the items myself. I realized that so long as the piece is round 110″ or underneath, I can deal with it and set up it fairly simply on my own. Something longer will get very difficult when working on my own. So each single wall has no less than one joint in it, however since these joints had been virtually all two items reduce from one longer piece, the joints went collectively flawlessly. As soon as they’re crammed and sanded, I don’t suppose they’ll be noticeable in any respect.

After which I obtained the entire present molding put in (apart from the one downside wall), and obtained the entire bins marked off for the image body molding. These marks are actually mild, so I enhanced them on a few of these photographs, just like the one above.

My greatest concern earlier than beginning the crown molding was that the crown would spotlight simply how unlevel and wonky the partitions are. I used to be afraid that it will particularly present above the doorways and home windows. And whereas it’s definitely not excellent, particularly in that one downside nook to the left of that left window, I feel it seems to be fairly good.

The largest downside with the crown molding was on the very finish the place the bed room crown meets the lobby crown. I had to make use of a separate piece proper on the finish that’s about 7 inches lengthy, and I needed to cut up the distinction with that one piece, bringing the left nook down only a bit to satisfy the nook of the lobby crown. It’s not excellent, however once more, I feel it’ll look tremendous as soon as every part is claimed and executed.

And as soon as that piece was on, there was a reasonably vital hole between the 2 crown items, so I used my air dry clay as soon as once more to fill in that hole. That can give me extra management over mixing these two items collectively on that nook since I can perform a little little bit of inventive sanding to make them meet and mix collectively.

I additionally redid this downside nook. That is the nook that slopes up fairly a bit.

So I ended up taking off these two baseboards, after which I positioned the baseboard again on the wall in order that it met the ground on the correct aspect and was stage all the best way throughout.

After which I used a bit of wooden that was equal in peak to the hole on the left, and positioned my pen on prime to attract a line throughout the underside of that baseboard.

After which I used my desk noticed to chop alongside that line. I repeated that course of on the baseboard on the opposite wall in order that the 2 items met completely within the nook.

It’s nonetheless not nice, and it’s particularly noticeable whenever you take a look at that wall straight on.

However I’m relying on the truth that that nook might be coated by draperies, and that straight-on view might be blocked by the mattress. And no less than with the highest of the baseboard stage, that signifies that the image body molding will be sq., which is a very powerful factor. It might be very apparent if that image body molding was wonky.

After which there’s the issue wall. The wavy wall. The wonkiest wall in the entire room. I made a decision to repair this wall with drywall mud, and I’ve misplaced depend on simply what number of layers of drywall mud it took to flatten out these areas. I feel I is perhaps on layer quantity 4.

In case you’ll keep in mind, right here’s how that hole regarded earlier than. It was manner too massive to fill with caulk. Imagine me, in individual, it’s manner larger than it seems within the photograph.

So after layers of drywall mud, I’ve constructed out that dip within the wall in order that it’s extra even with the chair rail. There’s nonetheless slightly little bit of a spot in some areas, however these are caulkable.

And I needed to do the identical with the underside portion of the wall. Once more, this hole was manner larger than the way it seems within the photograph. Within the photograph, it truly seems to be like a caulkable hole, but it surely wasn’t.

So I did the identical factor on the underside portion of the wall. You possibly can see that I nonetheless must sand that final layer of drywall mud, and whereas there’s nonetheless a spot on the backside, it’s now throughout the caulkable vary.

In order that’s the progress. If I weren’t working with such wonky partitions, I may have been completed by now, however I’m working with what I’ve. Previous homes is usually a actual ache within the rear.

I used to be slightly bit involved about this wall due to the shops. I wasn’t positive if I’d be capable to use the identical spacing for the image body molding that I’ve used on the entire different partitions. However it seems to be prefer it’ll work out completely! That was a reduction. The very last thing I wanted was one other downside wall on this room. 😀

Tomorrow, I’ll begin on the image body molding. I’m fairly positive I can get that executed in a day. After which I can lastly wooden fill all of the holes, sand, caulk, and get the trim painted. I’m going to do my greatest to remain targeted (one thing I’ve struggled with these days) and work diligently in order that I can get these partitions completed by the top of the weekend.

I’ll be so completely happy to get these partitions completed. I’m prepared to maneuver on to the subsequent challenge, which I feel would be the upholstered headboard. I’m anxious to get to a enjoyable, fairly challenge.
