Nicely, I’m nonetheless engaged on trim within the bed room, and it’s nonetheless not completed. However I made fairly a little bit of progress over the weekend, and I’m nonetheless feeling actually motivated and excited to get in there and get this trim completed.
My first precedence this weekend was to get all the image body molding minimize 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, but it surely’s additionally a niche between the entrance fringe of the baseboard and the place the flooring begins. So I knew that this might require one thing a lot bigger than a easy shoe molding or quarter spherical molding.


I checked out a couple of choices at Dwelling Depot, but it surely didn’t take me lengthy to appreciate that the most suitable choice can be one in every of my favourite trims from Lowe’s — this PVC shingle molding that is available in 8-foot lengths. When putting in it, I needed to break up the distinction vertically, so there’s nonetheless a small hole below the trim. I’m undecided but if I’ll depart it as is, or if I’ll caulk beneath it in order that the white meets the ground. However I believe it seems to be so a lot better now. And I really like the look of that trim and the way it provides a bit extra magnificence to the wainscoting.


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 assumed was completed and having to do extra, however I’m so glad I did. I believe that backside trim provides such a good looking completion. Right here’s what this space regarded like earlier than the trim.


And right here it’s with the trim alongside the ground. I believe it actually completed it off properly.


Right here’s one other reminder of how the wall with the lavatory door regarded final week earlier than I added the image body molding and the underside trim…


And right here it’s with all the trim put in. I’m nonetheless engaged on sanding all the wooden filler on the nail holes, after which I’ll simply must caulk and paint.


This wall continues to be a multitude, however at the very least all the 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 gained’t be a giant deal to prime and paint that space after I’m portray the remainder of the trim.


This nook continues to be a little bit of a multitude, but it surely’s so a lot better than it initially regarded. And as soon as the draperies are up, that prime nook will probably be hidden anyway, so I’m probably not anxious about it.


So I did get so much finished, however I’m now caught on the gradual half — all the wooden filling, sanding, and caulking. However at the very least I see that brilliant gentle on the finish of the tunnel, and I’m nonetheless feeling very inspired and motivated.


And I’m feeling an enormous sense of aid now that I do know this wall will truly look respectable when it’s all stated and finished. I used to be very involved that I might by no means be capable of disguise that unlevel flooring, however I don’t assume it seems to be dangerous in any respect.


In truth, I believe it seems to be fairly wonderful contemplating what I needed to work with (i.e., essentially the most unlevel room in our complete home).


And in different information, I lastly introduced the brand new mirror in to see what it’ll appear like within the lobby. I believe it’s going to be so fairly! I simply must 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 gentle, after which I noticed that earlier than I set up the brand new gentle, 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 preserve it as it’s, it’s going to open proper onto the brand new gentle. In order that’s another mission added to my “to do” record. Hopefully, it is going to be a straightforward repair.


In order that’s the progress! Having to take the time to go and buy that backside trim after which minimize and set up it positively slowed me down, however I’m so glad that I did it. I believe that new trim is the proper completion for the wainscoting. It actually took the general look of the wainscoting up a notch whereas going a good distance in direction of hiding some drawback areas.
I felt fairly assured that it could all work out ultimately, 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 assumed I had made an enormous mistake with my determination 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 fully completed within the subsequent couple of days.
