Sometimes I just live with things I have come to hate. Like our entry hallway off our garage. This is the door we use to get into the house 99% of the time, and it was way overdue for a paint job. The walls were stenciled (can we say 90's?) and badly scuffed from years of neglect. Anyway, I had finally had enough.
 |
| BEFORE-you can't see them but those stenciled patterns are under that white paint |
 |
| Pretty yellow paint. |
 |
| I had the hardest time getting the baseboards off-I needed to because I planned on putting up beadboard. The tiler had just tiled and grouted up to the baseboards so I had to chisel a line through the grout to get them loose. Oh man, this was really hard!! I couldn't get enough leverage in one part. It was loose, but wouldn't come off... |
 |
AN IDEA!!-This shovel should give me the leverage I need-right?
|
 |
WELL...Maybe not so much. Oh boy, WHAT HAVE I DONE? Good thing I have paneling sitting in the garage -right?
|
 |
ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL

 |
| It looks so cherry and clean now. Hooks for coats and basket for gloves and hats. I may want to buy a small cushion so we don't scratch the bench. |
