New Sebo Cutting Out? How to Fix That.

So here’s how the room looks now with the trim at the top of the cabinets all finished up!

The walls were marked up, and half-patched, and the floor was pulled up a bit so we could see the hardwood underneath., I wasn’t really ready to paint the walls yet, but I wanted to paint a little, so I did these boxes of color, which kind of gave the feeling of molding on the walls.

For a little while, then the icky feeling came back because there were still those marked up parts on the walls and the floor was still torn up a bit.I  did a pretty good job of faking it for the pictures though didn’t I?.I had these (ridiculously easy to make!)

capri curtains and this little rug too, which were OK, but I was over the red.Still icky-feeling..

It was time for the de-ickification (great word, right?!)

First I got these fabrics that I loved and that made me feel the exact opposite of ick and made some.He finished it off with some more decorative molding.

The end result looks pretty and classic, and it’s exactly what I had in mind!.When it came time to hang up our fancy new chalkboard, we couldn’t just do the basic “nail in the wall and a piece of string” method, now could we?

Well, actually I totally would have if it was up to me.Or I would have just hot glued it right to the wall.
