to this!! It looks amazing!! I totally LOVE it and am convinced that Michael and I will be fighting over who gets to do laundry now!
I found this blog where a lady did the board and batten molding in her bathroom and it looked so pretty we decided to try it in our laundry room. She made it look easy with all of her step by step instructions listed as well as the products she used, so we gave it a go. We definitely ran into some challenges such as every time we nailed a piece of molding into the wall EVERY NAIL IN THE WALL popped out of the wall and needed to be patched. It took 5 coats of white and two coats of blue (it had primer in it). We went with Behr paint, the blue is called sonata and the white is called powdered snow (I think). We went with a semi gloss for the blue and a high gloss for the white. We used the same wood as she used in the blog, and spaced the molding about 12 inches apart from each other, however on the wall with the window, we played with it a bit to just make it look good to the eye as apposed to spacing it 12 inches. We also replaced our floor boards with the same board we used for the top piece of the molding. And lastly we gave our boring builder silver light fixture just a quick spray with the krylon oil rubbed bronze paint to have it match all of the other oil rubbed bronze hardware we have throughout the house and installed some basic wood blinds which I am sure our neighbors across the street are thanking us for!And, I have to say that this guy:
is awesome! He truly amazed me on this project. He knew how to do everything that needed to be done. He had the tools for everything, he had answers to problems we ran into and he was so much fun to be with working on this project. We laughed and joked and cursed our frustrations together and I love him so much! He did a really great job! It's official, my hot hubby rocks! And, getting to check out his bulging biceps and hot behind during this project didn't hurt either. I definitely got the best end of this deal!
I love you babe, thank you thank you thank you for all of your hard work!!
