Don't Trust the Process

Remember how last post I said to trust the process? That was a lie.

Where are we at?

Last time I left off with the navy paint in progress, so... I finished the paint. And? I hate it. So back to sampling!





After all these samples... I found the perfect color. Sherwin Willliams Embellished Blue at 50%. It's a really light teal color, and ironically Sherwin Williams website suggests complementing colors Tame Teal and Extra White... aka the color in my guest room and the white that's everywhere in my house. Guess I should have looked at that earlier... anyways. I painted as much as I could with the sample to confirm the color and bought a full gallon. I'll finish the paint later once my paint sprayer comes in... that saga is a different story.




Did you notice something else in that picture above? I installed baseboards! And that's not in, nearly 80% of the trim is done!



It's looking like a real room now! And wait there's more! I even started putting up shelves!

Not too shabby. I have to trim out the shelves to make them flush with the rest of the pax units, and have to add some backer rod or shims to a few of the bottom ones in the shoe rack, but overall everything seems to fit the space. I have 2 extra shelves, so I'll just use them for a future project.


I ordered small crown molding that arrives tomorrow, it will be my first time putting that up, we'll see how that goes. So here's what's left on the to do list:


  • Dresser top

    • This really hasn't come out how I wanted... I plan to strip it back to the natural wood and attempt a paint wash.

  • Crown molding

  • Shelf trim

    • Looking to use wooden dowels for this to be the same width as the shelves and save space

  • Caulk/Woodfill

    • I've started this... but still a long way to go!

  • Prime and Paint

  • Clothing Rods

  • Hang mirrors

  • Organize

  • Reveal Photos


The list is getting shorter... still trying to finish this a few weeks before the Spring ORC begins... I'm tired ya'll. This is a lot of work!


Mondays man. No spell and grammar check today...
