Finally it’s the weekend and I forced my man to help me execute my dream bedroom makeover. I’ve wanted picture frame moulding to my walls for years and years, my Pinterests boards are full of inspiration pictures and now I’m finally getting some!
I ordered a pack of thin frame, drew up (badly) a design, figured the measurements and handed the plans to the man to be cut up and secured to the wall. I helped out with the frames and also started on the painting job while I waited.
I am beyond ecstatic about how my design turned out and even though it was a long day of work, everything went pretty smoothly and I am for sure going to design more picture frame moulding and wainscoting in many other rooms too.
The materials are fairly expensive though, the needed metres rack up the price pretty fast. These frames were on sale and I estimate the price for this one wall to be around 50€, and I didn’t even design small frames to the bottom of the wall.
Along with the frames, the walls needed a new coat of paint to replace the cheap looking shiny blueish white. I chose an antique white colour with a chalky finish from Rustoleum, it has a gorgeous luxurious matte texture.
I painted until midnight and let me tell you, it’s very difficult to paint white on white when your lighting is shit. Luckily this paint dries really fast so I can do another coat tomorrow to finish it. Then we’ll cut the new wide baseboards and screw in the wall lamps and bring everything back in. We won’t be doing the floors at this point because I don’t know what colour I want yet, and also my interiors are never ever done anyways because I’m always adding more elements and changing things up. I have a long list of things I will still need for this room but today we made great progress!
I keep seeing creative ideas like this to enhance otherwise typical walls, great idea.
Reminds me I really want my own walls.
It’s fantastic to have your own walls, higly recommend.
10 feet is 3,048metres? So yes, almost, about 280cm I think. It was a deal breaker when buying a house, I can’t stand low ceilings, makes me depressed.
About. I had to use my app, apparently 280cm is 9.5 feet. Now I want tall walls, too, show off! = }
It's been on our minds for several months now. Traveliving is exciting but we're going on six years. We're not getting any younger and it's getting tougher and tougher to be mobile in this world with pandemics and wars and energy and... Exhausting.
What's the air compressor for, stapling the frame design to the wall?
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Six years!? That is basically my nightmare, but each their own.
The compressor is for the nail gun, we used Pattex first to make sure all the pieces fit and are aligned before putting in the nails.
