Here's some updates on the girls bed rooms. It's taken a little bit to deal shop and it's great to have family lovingly provide some furniture, but they are pretty much done :)

We painted the front door and it makes a big difference :)

Baseboards are mostly done!! I still have  a ton more cutting to do for the rest of the wainescotting, but that's ok because I have loved every tiring, over worked day of this process :)

I was cutting chair rail and baseboard all day! I have a couple pics of the girls rooms, they are turning out cute :)

We've been busy packing and moving things from the rental to the new place, so not as many big reveals! We did put in new kitchen and sink faucets as well as a new duel flush toilet and we love it!
This week I will work on as much moldings and painting as possible :)

I wasn't able to do as much as I would have liked today because of the flooring install, but take a look at how the door molding is coming along :)

We are adding craftsman style moldings to the windows and doors! I am totally in love with this look :)

So we've been painting for over 9 hours today! Lots of work but it's starting to look snazzy!

Ok here's the first post of some before and during pics, no after pics just yet. I sanded and smooth textured the lower portion of the walls to prep for wainescotting! This is a cheaper way to get that look, but plan on setting aside a good chunk of time and patience :)

I used an electric hand sander to get the high points of the wall texture off and then used a joint compound to fill in the lower areas to make that beautiful smooth look! Here it is so far and feel free to post any questions you may have :)
