Front Room Closet

Hello!

I've been getting some work done on the front room closet.

Here's where we left off in May.


I put up the 1x3s between the drywall pieces.
My dad helped with the mouldings.

After mudding and sanding, I primed and painted.  

I used leftover grey front room paint for the walls and leftover blue master

bedroom paint for the ceiling. 

After a second coat of paint (where I accidentally used blue paint for the side wall!),

I started the floor. 

I referred to my previous post about finishing the front room floors, so I'd know what to do.

Here's is the basecoat of blue (diluted with 10% water). 

While I had the blue paint out, I primed the hidden hallway closet floor.

I put another coat of blue in the closet the next afternoon. I waited a few days before moving the tote and vacuum back in.

I did a coat of grey in the front room closet the after 24 hours and then the dark grey diamond stencil after another 24 hours.

Somehow things got a little wonky, since I had to start at the back and work my way toward the previously painted floor.

After another 24 hours, I did the off white stencil and a bit of filling in with the light grey and dark grey paints.

Here's the finished floor.  I think it looks nice. 

When C came home from camp I told her there was wet paint in the closet and she didn't even realize it was on the floor because it just looks like it's always been there (which is good!).

Now I have to finish up the baseboards, make some shelves and hang a rod....

Have a great weekend! :-)
