Beadboard - what goes around comes around!

We happen to love trim (and we're gluttons for punishment), so we have decided to put beadboard paneling in all of the bathrooms at this new house. I mean, someone opted 30 years ago to ruin our lives with horrible wallpaper, and turn about is fair play, so 30 years from now we'll be ruining someone elses with paneling that they will only be able to remove by either stripping the walls down to the studs or spreading drywall mud over all of the beads. So here's a little step-by-step to on how to successfully ruin the weekends of toddlers across the country who will be crazy young homeowners like yourselves in a few short decades - join us if you feel so inclined!

Blast from the Past

After yet another tedious day of tiresome, piddly work I was beginning to feel discouraged and overwhelmed....there is just SOOO much to do, and the trim is going up ever so slowly. All I want to do in the world is paint! It's truly amazing what a little paint can do! Seeking a bit of encouragement I decided to go through the archives.......holy moly! How quick we are to forget the punishment we've previously inflicted on ourselves - but no pain no gain, right? RIGHT! It was absolutely worth every drop of blood, sweat, and tears! Now I'm at least a little bit inspired, and hopefully you will be, too! Enjoy some "before and afters" from our last project -
