Hospital design and construction: a DtV approach

hints of Fall, just to make it feel a little happier in there for now.. Oh, and this post should really be subtitled “….and then I added more burlap”, cause that was my solution to pretty much everything in here..

No oven, no sweat..If you’re a busy cabbage roll lover with no time on your hands like me, give it a try!I really think I’m on a roll here in this room.

Things are definitely brightening up and it’s happening quickly!So far, fingers crossed.. Just in case you missed., here’s a little reminder of how this area used to look.. You can see the closet doors off to the right there.

Yesterday I showed you how I’d painted out all the trim and panelling on that wall with the dresser on it, and today I’ve gone and finished up the wall with the closet doors!.The first thing I did was paint out all the trim and panelling again on this wall.

It took about 3 coats and soon it was really starting to feel like a whole new world in here.

I taped off the trim around the closet doors and used a foam roller to roll on 3 coats of chalkboard paint.Then when I moved the stuff back into the cupboards and onto the shelves that used to be there, I got rid of even more.

Now that I’ve had to move stuff back into our bedroom again because we’ve decided to get all intense about this project, the amount of stuff is really very manageable.If I hadn’t done a major decluttering, we probably wouldn’t be able to walk in here.

The more stuff I get rid of, the more I feel like I can accomplish and the more I feel like our renovations are doing what they should do to make our home more functional for us.Which makes me feel significantly less crazy during this whole process.
