Setting this room up for the baby, and as the due date comes closer and closer, I must get my @$$ into gear. So below are some pictures along the way. Done: - New Flooring - Painted Everything (Ceiling, Walls, Closet, Window) - Furniture - New Tamper proof Outlet with Wall Plates Left to Do: - Baseboard - New door - Paint & Attach Closet Doors - Registers All in all, this room along with the rest of the house was painted and trimmed like shit. The previous owners, caulked baseboard, painted wallplates and outlets, drilled numerous amount of holes in the walls, and ceiling. Stapled, yes STAPLED Christmas lights along the top of the wall around the bedroom. The list just goes on… so here is just the one room so far… the baby’s room. Here is the before picture… the exact picture used to sell the house…

Nice work, now add some moulding. Also, what is wrong with caulking moulding? Caulk is one essential tool when I install any moulding as it creates clean lines and hides all nails and seams perfectly. ---

Caulk is one essential tool when I install any moulding as it creates clean lines and hides all nails and seams perfectly. i caulk all moldings too, however it should not be used as a cover up for shitty miters lol Looks so much better. i think just painting would have made it look so much better 🤮 ---
