New TALL Baseboards


Last weekend we finally got started on ripping out all of our maple baseboards and replacing it with taller white baseboards : )  We also added a piece of window/door molding underneath the top board on the half wall.

Here are a few pictures of the old maple trim next to the new white trim:

A Set Of Chairs

This set of chairs came to me free from a family member : ).  I decided to lightly sand them and then I painted them with ASCP in "Aubusson".  I then distressed and sealed with clear poly.  I also added numbers to the tops of the chairs.

Trim And Flooring Update....

Painting trim sucks.  I can't wait to be finished.  I am so.over.it.  To take a break from painting trim, I decided to tackle a few more projects around the house:


Here is a before picture of our fireplace mantel.  It was stained to match all of our maple trim which will now be white.



Here is an after picture of the mantel.  I stripped and stained it with Minwax Dark Walnut.


For the trim, I am using Sherwin Williams "Extra White" mixed in their paint for doors and trim.  I have been using a latex  Zinsser Primer.



I also painted the inside of the front door the same color as the outside of the door:  Benjamin Moore "Stratton Blue".

The only part of the painting I had to hire out was the window in our 2-story foyer.  I made it as far as taping off the bottom of the window before I chickened out : )


Here is a sneak peak of the slate floor we put down last weekend in our mudroom/ first floor bathroom.  I am currently in the process of painting all of the new taller baseboards : )



And, finally, here is the kid's bathroom vanity finished.  I painted it with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in "Duck Egg".

Antique Glass Cabinet


I recently acquired this amazing cabinet and had every intention of painting and selling it.  But when it was finished, I really loved it and it fit perfectly into my family room : ).  So, for now, it is going to live with me.

It started out partly painted a really pretty navy blue color.  I went over that with a mixture of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Pure White and Paris Grey.  I then distressed it and painted the doors and drawers with ASCP in Aubusson.

Back to painting trim : (
