I'm still working on my living room board and batten. I'm not quite sure how much I want to reveal from here on out before the big reveal. But I'll show you what I'm doing today.
All of the boards in the living room are up on the walls. {Did I hear a Hallelujah!?!?} Well... kind of. I still have to buy, prime, paint and install the top ledge on all of the walls. Shouldn't take too long.
I have about 5 more small boards to prime, paint, cut and put up. They're in the kitchen around the bar area. I'm trying to finish the living room first so we can move everything back into its place. #tiredofhavingallthefurnitureinthemiddleoftheroom
These are my two best friends today: Alex and Dex.
I've been caulking and spackling all day, and I'm looking forward to this project being done!! I think I've somehow burned part of my finger from wiping the caulk off the rough MDF sides. Ouch!
Aside from the burned finger, I loved seeing the change from before to after caulking. It makes the look so much more cohesive, almost like a finished product. Almost.
And you may notice the pink dots in the right-hand picture. That's the spackle. This time I used pink spackle that dries white. It lets you know when it's fully dry and ready to be sanded and painted. How handy is that? I think I love it!
So it may not be quite finished this weekend, but we're getting so close!! Then I can get to hanging pictures on the wall. I'm soooo excited about that part.
I hope you have a happy weekend!
