My first big project of the year is about done! Which is NOT any easy thing to accomplish between momming, wifing, working and co-running Craftshop. Some days I can barely make it into my bed before I am already falling asleep. So why bother doing any house projects? Well, why does anyone do anything? Because they want/like to do it. I love making my house comfortable and pretty! And I actually do enjoy the whole process, from the idea phase to the planning phase to the implementing phase to the finishing and enjoying phase. Now, many of my "projects" don't make it past the ideas or planning phases but I still enjoy that as well. But every once in a while, it is nice to have someone else step in and help get the project done faster. I thought I would be doing this wall myself but help came in the form of my dad, and the hubs and son jumped in to assist and before I knew it, it was done and I just had to do the painting!
Here is what it looked like before...
Putting together the frame with lots of "helpers";)
My dad cut the trim where the frame was going to go so the frame would be flat against the wall. I then had to take the lights down.
And the frame was placed on the wall and screwed in.
Then the planks were nailed in.
And then the edge trim was nailed on and I applied 2 coats of paint. I still may add some trim/moulding at the top but that is for another day.
I also added a set of shelves to the other side of my buffet because I loved the ones on the right so much.
Seriously the easiest project ever and adds so much to the room.
