Painting and Trimwork

Barb painstakingly took off the wonderful wallpaper from the walls in the dining room, and prepped the walls for painting. Wallpaper removal fluid is a bunch of hooey. And even when you score the wall, it really doesn't do anything. All it did was mar up the walls. Barb found that the best way to remove the wallpaper was a spray bottle of warm water, and a putty knife. And LOTS of patience.

Once the paper was removed, all the little score marks had to be filled, and a hole in the wall (from the previous tennant) had to be fixed. Then, Brandon had to remove the crown molding, and Barb went to town painting the walls.

Brandon worked hard to put all the trimwork back up, and to lay all the baseboard trim in the front room.

Not all the trim was on yet...

While Brandon was away at the NC Music Educator's Conference, Barb painted all the trimwork white. It looks so bold and beautiful!
