I just love the end result.
I thought I’d show you around some of the details before we got too far along in this project.I may get too distracted by some pretty decorations and just forget to tell you about all the hard work we (OK, mostly Chris) have been putting in on the trim in here..
Previously there were just plain boards as baseboards in here so we added a few different pieces of molding to beef them up a little bit.He’s there cause he was $2.79 at Home Depot.I can change him out if I find a better knob for this cupboard under the stairs, but now that I’ve named him, you know that’s probably not happening.
So this is Leo!.It’s hard to tell in this photo but I brought the white paint up the wall a bit.
OK, it’s exactly 42 inches.
Several sources suggested you bring wainscoting up the wall 32-36 inches, but ours will go up 42, cause I just think it looks better.. You can see I have a lot of work to do with the white paint still.The base is just two pieces of scrap MDF glued together, then cut into the shape of home plate and painted white.
Sometimes Chris has good ideas..Here you can see we ran into some problems.
The long drill bit that we used bent while it was in the middle of the bat and jumped out the side.It actually worked out fine though because it wasn’t in too bad of a spot and we were able to just use that for the cord.
