The Doors and the Bead Board.. not fun.

So we debated if we should paint these first before we put them up.. we decided to paint and that was fine.. but, they still got pretty scuffed because we ended up having to cut the board because it was going to be too high and be above the vanity.. so that was another set back, and then my paint job was scuffed. I think I can just do touch ups but I will have to wait and see.

I had to paint everything inside because it was SOOO hot and humid I knew it would take forever to dry.

Next stop.. the doors. I was originally going to just paint the doors we had but they are pretty cheap and doubt they would have looked nice painted. Eric thought we should just replace them for the 6 panel doors for and updated look. I agreed 100%.. but.. the doors didn't quite fit. They wouldn't close.. so.. we had to take them all over to a friend of Eric's dads who has the right kind of saw and trim the doors down. Oh.. and before this, Eric was just going to chisel out the area for the hinges.. well.. 2 hours into it with a lot of sweat and maybe some cursing.. we opted to by a router with a template for the hinges.. took at the most 5 minutes.  Money well spent when we are replacing all of the doors.

Getting close.. it's all up.. but needs a lot of TLC to make it looked finished. I do love it though. It's very bright and cheery!

So for this corner and along the base board will be corner round to seal it all and finish it off. We just haven't gotten that far yet.

This really is not white and yellow... picture just turned out strange. A few nicks here and there but I think I can fix it.

This was the biggest problem. Our walls are not square so we had to shim the chair rail to get this to even remotely line up.  I am really hoping the caulk will hide this... of course this is the one corner you can totally see when you enter the room.. no way to hide it.

Corner round will cover the majority of this gap.. and then more caulk.. I hope.

So now everything is bright and cheer but now the vanity counter top looks like crap. I tried to pick up some of the white swirled in it but it just looks yellow now.. really mad because there isn't anything I can do about it besides replace it and that is just not going to happen.. at least right now.

All the doors on the main floor have been painted (TWICE) and installed. I painted all of the handles the same as the hardware in the bathroom.. forgot to take a photo of the beautiful brass that they were before I painted.. I will get one on here eventually. So now all of my doors are done and have the lovely look of honey oak trim still. This will be a good winter project to get all of the trim done.

SOOO much better than the brass.

So that is it for now on the bathroom. Projects to finish will be the corner round for the base boards and corners, caulk, caulk and more caulk, wood fill the nail holes, trim out the mirror... and decorate!

Oh.. and did I mention that my husband is really thrilled with "my" project. I don't think we will be doing much more of this stuff any time soon! :)
