Hip's Love Handles

I didn't get a chance to take an after photo yesterday, so here it is.



Before: Today, I sanded down the spackle used to fill the corners and nails. I primed over the spackle spots. As I painted, I noticed that I needed to go back and sand the crevices with a fine tool.



I still have more touching up to do - a tiny bit more spackle in some holes, sand again and a little paint touch ups.

The Chair Rail continued...

I took a 3 week hiatus from house work to start my seedlings for this year's garden. I tended to them while I searched for this outside corner molding piece to end the chair rail in our hallway.



Before:


First, I primed and gave them one coat of paint. To paint within the crevices, dab the paint brush into the crevices instead of brush strokes.


Cut the last piece of chair rail leaving enough room for the corner piece. Nail.


Fill the holes in, sand, prime and repaint.

While I worked on the bathroom, Keith installed the chair rail in the hallway.
