Late last winter we painted and put up wainscoting in half of the living room. This week Nick got the framing up on the second half. It still has to be spackled and painted but this is a huge improvement. Baseboards all the way around. Of course now our front door looks TERRIBLE next to the beautiful trim work!
He has also been working on transforming our hallway. Here is the original before:
When we painted the living room and began the living room wainscoting we painted half of the hall in anticipation of continuing the wainscoting. Well a year later, that and much more is in store. Here are the current construction shots:
Notice that the end closet is becoming a bench seat with storage underneath. Nick is a genius!
Of course the baby's room is being transformed as well. Here is a before. Note - this is the one room we had never done ANYTHING to, hence the awesome burnt orange? trim.
Nick hard at work painting:
Current state:
We always thought this room was just darker due to its location and the back porch covering. Now that it is white it is sooo much brighter. Nick had the great idea to tape off the old closet doors and they are now painted to resemble a shoji screen. Nick plans to add cubbies in the wall (there are stairs behind the closet wall) and paint images from each season on all four walls. No one will have to wonder whose daddy is the artist!
More to come.....
That's our boy, Nicholas! Everything is looking great'
