This year for decor, I did bright, happy, kid-friendly stuff in the living room and more subdued stuff in.
Of course, removing the original trim exposed a lot more than just the tops of the cabinets!The whole vent hood area will be addressed soon and I’m really excited about the idea we have for that!.
We exposed some wires and some random pink uglyness above the sink too, so we added in a nice thick piece of crown molding to give that part of the room a nice finished look..I painted that whole area out in the same color as the rest of the walls in the room, but something still wasn’t quite right..There are always unforeseen gaps and weird angles when you’re working with old houses like this!
Sometimes those gaps aren’t really a big deal, but sometimes they can just ruin the whole look of a room.. Chris cut this long skinny wedge to fit right into the gap.Adhesive is perfect for a situation like this because any other form of fastening either wouldn’t have anywhere to hold on to, or would split the tiny piece of wood.
We just spread a little bit on the edges of the wood with a piece of cardboard and popped it into place!.
I finished up with a nice bead of caulk over the whole area..But it’s a lot better..
So, when we got to the house, although the deck was nice and big, it just wasn’t working for us.We wanted to create a more welcoming feel in the backyard and we wanted the traffic to flow a little better on the deck and give us more usable space..
Here it is now!.It’s at least a little better now, isn’t?.
