One Room Challenge Week 3

One room challenge week 3! Eeek! Check out where we started here and last week here. If you follow me normally, you know I love a good photo story. So that's just what I have today. This past week was all about wainscoting, and more wainscoting, and frequent trips to get more supplies for wainscoting. 

Something I learned this week: wainscoting is expensive. 

On our first trip to the store, I really didn't know what we needed, but Josh fully understood. I knew what I wanted it to ultimately look like, but he has the engineer mind. :) Naturally I'm standing to the side taking pictures and playing on instagram while he thinks. 

You see, we don't have dry wall up so we had to buy these sheets of wood for the backing.

Did I mention we have to take all this home in a jeep? Hence, the three trips. He cracks me up. 

A view from my seat!

Josh did a sample wall that I shared on Monday (minus the inner frames that will frame out the boxes). 

My little mathematician put together this spreadsheet to calculate the distances between all the stiles. 

And a couple "in progress" pictures. 

And we have to replace that window frame because there used to be a window unit - rotten wood is not a good or healthy look. Add it to the laundry list! 

Here's a glimpse of where we are now! Josh added the trim to the top of the wainscoting and some baseboards. One more wall to go + adding all the "picture frames" in the boxes and we'll be ready for paint!! What do you think?! #cananyonetellimexcited #papershades

I'm loving where this is heading!

This afternoon my mom and I are off to shop for fabric! I'll share our findings tomorrow :) Oh, and Josh says that we will have the wainscoting done by the end of the weekend - then its all aboard the painting train! AND the gray grasscloth has been ORDERED!
