The walls were new and had never been painted. However we wanted all new White trim, so that meant removing the oak wood trim along the bottom of the wall, around the doors etc. Then Preston painted both doors white. He also added white trim around the doors and windows...(see in later pictures)
The oak wood doors were also removed and painted white. The window blinds were replaced with bright white (they were off white before!)
It was time to place the Wainscoting on the walls...and not the kind you buy at the store already made. This Wainscoting was "home made" so to speak. Preston had to place all new white baseboard at the bottom, then place each piece of wood about 16" apart, then add chair rail molding at the top....Then prime and paint it all. Oh yeah..plus make sure everything is level. (as pictured!)
By looking at this picture, it's hard to imagine what the finished product would look like. What's also hard to imagine..is that I had so many more "before" pictures and accidentally deleted them off the computer ; (
Let the painting begin... PINK..of course.
Preston did all the hard work of removing trim, removing, doors, measuring, cutting, placing wainscoting, taping, priming, painting etc.
I got to do the fun stuff, shopping for decor, hanging curtains, pictures and doing the overall decorating.
We're a good team!
