Renovating and decorating our new/old house, a cozy cape cod built in 1940. It won't happen overnight, so join me for the journey.
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
I adore the paint department.
ReplyDeleteGuess ya (or we) talked him into it! Poor guy!!! Hang in here. Can't wait to see the end result. If it's any consolation...our house looks like a tornado blew through...too many projects going on at the same time!
ReplyDeleteyay!!! projects always take longer with kiddos in the mix, but oh is this one so worth it!
ReplyDeleteIt 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!! :)
ReplyDeleteOk then, I guess your mr. 65th is gonna one-up my mr. maison decor....you are actually getting somewhere! Can't wait to see!
ReplyDeleteCan'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!
ReplyDeleteI 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!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's looking fabulous! It will be done before you know it!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see it finished! I would love to do that to our stairway :)
ReplyDeleteI just adore beadboard ... anywhere and everywhere! No matter how long it takes, you will love it everyday! ;)
ReplyDeleteI hear you I hear you! We have three little ones and projects go slow - but oh, so worth it!
ReplyDeleteOh, 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!!!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,

Oh I'm so excited that you talked him into it. It's going to be fabulous. Can't wait to see the finished hallway.
ReplyDeleteThis is exciting and something I would love to do. Will stay tuned to see the final result which is sure to be awesome!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting...it's going to be great. It will make you so happy every time you open the door!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the sweet comments on my entryway post, it looks like you are in the middle of your own major entryway project! I'm sure it will be amazing once it is finished... I can't wait to see it!
