Starting Fresh: How We Chose Paint and Trim for Tree House
Over the long weekend, we loaded up the dogs and spent a one-nighter at Tree House. Our list of things to knock out was long, but each task was relatively simple – measuring for lighting, ceiling fans and a couch (this one, specifically!), installing new locksets and, the kicker, choosing paint colors and all new […]
When Trim + Wallpaper Don’t Play Nice
At the time that the wallpaper was hung in the laundry room, we were starting with an empty box. There was a washer and dryer, but we hadn’t yet decided on cabinets, and we definitely didn’t have baseboards. (Btw, baseboards! When will this to-do ever be off our list?) But now that the cabinets have been installed, it […]
Adding Trim We Didn’t Know We’d Need
As much as we love the stone we chose for our counters, I’ll start by saying that I was a little confused after the fabricators left. I snapped some photos for Scott (they’re done, and they’re gorgeous!, I texted), but the more I looked at them, the more I felt they were – too high? […]
Problem Solving + Trim Talking
Remember a long, long time ago when we said – out loud! – that we would have our trim and baseboards finished by the end of May? The end of May. Ah! Ahaha! Those were good times. In any case, we can see the finish line, but we’ve been doing a whole lot of problem […]
You’ve Come a Long Way, Entry.
I almost can’t believe I’m about to say this, but the entryway trim, baseboards and flooring are done! Considering how long we’ve been working on them (what, with going back to the new tile, it’s been over 5 months?), we should be done. But! There are a small handful of loose ends to tie up, […]
Entryway Progress
… Lots and lots of progress. Actually, let me just make it clear right now – the entryway isn’t done; no. But it is getting there! We’ve been working for a seemingly huge chunk of time on the foyer baseboards, and with so many funny angles, uneven walls, and a lot of problem solving (wait, […]
Baseboards + Winter
Baseboards! We have them! In the nook room, anyway. Out of all the things to do in this home, our funny little room has quickly become the one that’s taking priority – not out of necessity, no. But for a room so small, in all honesty, it’s just easier to tackle. Our first adventure in […]
Trim Picking
The entryway (and all the way up to the second floor landing) has been painted. The studio has been painted. The living room and the nook room have been painted! Even still, they’re all missing the last piece – sort of like a frame for your photograph, you know? Trim! I’ve mentioned time and time […]
Easy Upgrade: Curtain Trim
You might remember that we recently replaced our entire living room window get-up with these blinds, this rod and these panels. While we love the look of clean, crisp curtains, to be honest, we had debated whether we should go bold with patterned panels. With all the windows in our home covered in white drapes, […]
