Bedroom and Foyer Progress – Addicted 2 Decorating®

My first precedence this weekend was to get the entire image body molding reduce 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 resolve what to do about this huge hole on the backside of this wall. That’s not solely a vertical hole between the underside of the baseboard and the ground, however it’s additionally a spot between the entrance fringe of the baseboard and the place the flooring begins. So I knew that this is able to 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 believed was completed and having to do extra, however I’m so glad I did. I feel that backside trim provides such a good looking crowning glory. Right here’s what this space seemed 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 seemed 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 have to caulk and paint.

This wall remains to be a large number, however not less than 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 needed 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 received’t be an enormous deal to prime and paint that space after I’m portray the remainder of the trim.

This nook remains to be a little bit of a large number, however it’s so a lot better than it initially seemed. And as soon as the draperies are up, that prime nook can be hidden anyway, so I’m probably not nervous about it.

So I did get loads executed, however I’m now caught on the sluggish half — the entire wooden filling, sanding, and caulking. However not less than I see that brilliant 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 of disguise that unlevel ground, however I don’t assume it seems dangerous in any respect.

In actual fact, I feel it seems fairly superb contemplating what I needed to work with (i.e., essentially the most unlevel room in our total home).

And in different information, I lastly introduced the brand new mirror in to see what it’s going to appear like within the lobby. I feel it’s going to be so fairly! I simply have to 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 aspect. If I maintain it as it’s, it’s going to open proper onto the brand new mild. In order that’s yet one more mission added to my “to do” listing. 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 reduce and set up it undoubtedly slowed me down, however I’m so glad that I did it. I feel that new trim is the proper crowning glory for the wainscoting. It actually took the general look of the wainscoting up a notch whereas going a good distance in the direction of hiding some drawback 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 believed I had made an enormous mistake with my choice 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 utterly completed within the subsequent couple of days.
