Iโve been MIA lately.... BUT Iโve been keeping busy. This week, I started by ripping out all of the trim in our spare room. I absolutely did NOT want to spend the money to buy new trim for this space because ya girl is trying to save ๐ฐ SO instead, I dug through the very large pile of 1x4s at Home Depot and found the best looking lumber I could find. I ended up buying 9 boards, sanded them, and painted them white. I did have to add the quarter round trim to the bottom because of the way this old flooring looked under it but Iโd say it turned out nice for have NO idea what I was doing prior to. Once all of the boards were nailed in, I went over all of the small cracks with caulk and paint.
I also wanted to add a little something to the window frames and we all know how much I love that Early American stain... so, I stained the trim to add a little more of that natural wooden look I have tried to incorporate in every room. The windows have simply become my favorite part of this room. I was also shocked at the fact that I could hang curtain rods (lol). I learn to do more every day and for some reason hanging the rods was my โwow momentโ here. I will share before and after pics as I continue to finish the room, but for now enjoy this sneak peek ๐คซ Time to go build a barn door ๐ช.
