It didn’t need to be pretty, just tidy for now.. Well, I did tidy it up.
I touched up the paint on the walls, which took me all of 5 minutes.Then I quickly taped some wide stripes at 6 inch intervals..
The taping took maybe 10 minutes, the painting, about 20.Seriously, what took me so long to do this?.Well, you’ll notice that it’s still not quite done, because it could use some quarter round to finish up the bottom of the baseboards there..
The thing is, I waited so long to do this project, that we’re actually just in the process of getting ready to put down the real floors in there.. No more hideous yellow carpet for this room!That also means no more painted paper floor, but I still just had to try it out and see how it would work.
I couldn’t believe how crisp the lines came out!.
If you need a quick and easy, dirt cheap, temporary or permanent solution to an ugly floor, this just may be the ticket!.Built-in shelving, storage, furniture, all of it.
In this house, it’s a bit of a necessary obsession because of the weird shapes and sizes of some of the rooms.I wouldn’t say that it’s a small house, but there just aren’t a lot of good places to put all of our modern day furniture.
Built-ins to the rescue!.Some readers have asked me to write a post on the planning process for.
