making progress

Ok, Mr. 65th was right....installing beadboard in the hallway is a time consuming project. And if you add a little one to the mix it goes a bit slower...ok a lot slower, especially since using a nail gun after her bedtime might not be a good idea. But that's ok.


You can't tell by the picture, but we did make some good progress this weekend, nowhere near done, but progress. Three more pieces of beadboard to hang then we can start on the trim and I can do more painting. As you can see, I already painted the top half of the room...that was scary. I had to be on a ladder with two legs sitting on a step and the other two legs hanging out into space...not very fun.

I'm off to look at paint swatches for the downstairs door. Talk to you soon!

P.S. Thank you to everyone who helped me talk Mr. 65th into getting on board with this project! xo

    It will get done, it is a bit more difficult with kids but take your time and do it how you want it. That is what I am learning now, usually I think it and do it without really thinking about it. I am trying to slow myself down but I know that I want it done now!! :)

    Can't wait to see it! My husband and I installed beadboard in our kitchen and it was SO time consuming! But so worth it in the end!

    I can never get anything done in a timely manner, a 5 yr old, 14 yr old and a hubby that travels,it all messes me up! I can just imagine you dangling and trying to paint!!!

    Oh, I can't wait to see it done!!! Last summer while my husband was on vacation I asked him to put tongue and grove paneling in a couple wall cut-outs and the left overs under the stairs, took all week and they still aren't "finished"! Good luck, I bet it is looking amazing!!!

    Best wishes,
    Tammy
