I’ve been posting to Instagram and Facebook and neglecting the
blog for quite some time so I thought I’d try posting this to
the site directly. It is supposed to cross-post to the
Facebook so we will see how that goes.
Vali and I have
been living with cracks in the walls of our bedroom for a
while and a few months ago decided it was time to fix them and
dress up the bedroom.
The biggest change was changing the
normal door to the master bath to a sliding barn door. It
opened up the tiny space and anything that does that is
welcome.
I repurposed the old door by adding about four
inches all the way around so it covered the opening, rather
than just filling it. It still needs paint but it is going to
be an accent color and we are still picking those.
The
rest of the room got holes patches and caulked then a fresh
coat of paint on the trim and walls. Painting the window
openings white, the trim color, instead of the wall color made
a big difference in the amount of light coming in. Another
welcome change.
A few finishing touches to go. New window
coverings, pillows, and a fake stack of wood to fill the
now-sealed fireplace to make it a bit more decorative. I
trimmed three or four inches off the mantle which was a small
thing that made a big difference. It is t in the way anymore
but still looks balanced.
And now the pictures. Enjoy!
Looks great!
