Back to work! The texture was dry and the painting was next. I heard that Frog Tape was better than blue tape but after it was all said and done I really did not see any difference. I will try the frog tape again on another project to be sure though.
I LOVE RED. I am trying to phase out of it through out my house just because I need some change every so often but this is the one small room that is going to scream RED :) It's a deeper red and since it's a boys bathroom I think it will be perfect...right?
SO...on to the beadboard. I wanted it to stop around eye level since I am going to add a plate rail for pictures (or things) to sit on so sweet hubby did the cutting and I gave him the measurements...cause I was
project manager :) We He took the baseboards off (They were REALLY hard to get off!) and got down to business.
Look at Justin's woodworking skills :)...really Caulk will be our best friend when this is all said and done but you have to admit it's pretty good for a first timer!
Our boys are like bulls in a china shop so until we get the door stops put back on...we have to wrap all the doorknobs so that they don't crush the paneling. A bit ghetto.
Here is one wall with the paneling up and half of the plate rail! I am SO happy with how it is all coming along!! It's looks like a hurricane came through though and TONS of trial and error pieces all over....
And the hubs trimmed out the mirror!! I swear this one step alone makes SUCH a huge difference in a bathroom. It takes it from builder to custom in less than an hour...or so...right Justin??
Check out the cute butt ;)
I was shlumpadinka'n and did not wanna be in that picture lol..
Well we are about half way done and hoping to have phase 3 (and hopefully last) up in a week or 2 (we're only really able to work on it for a few hours on the weekends since those darn children need so much attention!!...just a kiddin' )...and that's probably pushing it...but it will be DONE by the end of April!
