And, I still had to do a lot of touch up on it, so I know I will install it before painting it next time. It can be very frustrating!Cowtown Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06613952222223645938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-11319794889224760142013-12-31T20:27:25.470-05:002013-12-31T20:27:25.470-05:00Mix the putty and the paint.

I have mixed feelings about painting baseboards. Mr. Frugalista is an adamant paint Before guy and I'm preferring the paint After (with the right tools to make the job easier). Your mud room looks great - love the color. Wishing you a Happy and Creative 2014 and look forward to seeing what you have in store for us this year!<br />Marie@TheInteriorFrugalistaMarie-Interior Frugalistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05875028264167612823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-35879794699502309832013-12-31T13:26:38.789-05:002013-12-31T13:26:38.789-05:00I love the color of your room so much and it looks...I love the color of your room so much and it looks terrific with your floors!!

Although I do tend to lean towards Teal these days. Or blues that fall within the Teal to Peacock spectrum. And I've noticed that I put a bit of blue in every room in my house, it's my favorite color after all. I wish we had a mudroom. But alas our garage door takes you directly into the diningroom which is very open to the living room.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13382050864488936598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-11044771425240085982013-12-31T12:06:25.260-05:002013-12-31T12:06:25.260-05:00I'm a big fan of your mudroom.

Same as you, too hard to move the washer and dryer to get the work done. Don't fret about your blue color choice. It's striking and beautiful. Since it's in a relatively small space, it's a fun opportunity to try something out, too. Great color selection and I love the beadboard.<br />Happy New Year!<br />DanaDana - http://chocolateandsunshine.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18092573046087838077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-1472422107724726942013-12-31T09:40:36.067-05:002013-12-31T09:40:36.067-05:00Me likey, Sarah!

I bit the bullet yesterday and tackled my teen son's bedroom, and I'm so glad I did. Oh, how I love the power and ease of paint!<br /><br />I'm with you - the house is such high maintenance with everyone home! It's like the Tazmanian devil is whirling around my house! ;-)<br /><br />Happy New Year!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12495632363525073088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-69843133218019192782013-12-31T04:59:23.886-05:002013-12-31T04:59:23.886-05:00Isn't it freeing to find accidental ways to fi...Isn't it freeing to find accidental ways to finish a project? After boring frustration I used the roller too for the first layer of paint. But reversed your process and rolled the small grooves which held enough paint to brush over the wide area. I swore that would be the last time to paint bead board, but now putting it in kitchen areas. Painting trim ahead of install is a major time saver and think it is well worth the process. It looks so clean cut when done<br /><br />Admission I have a love hate relationship with beadboard. Love the look, hate the upkeep. How do you keep it clean? All those little niches at the base trim? I used caulk to help on this one, but all it does is form to the beadboard. So I brush vacuum and then use a tooth brush for final cleaning. Or am I just dusty/dirty than most?<br /><br />And I need to get braver on color, love what you chose and looking forward to the evolultion of all.

I have painted it several times, always vowing to remove it next time. I painted the bead board on the ceiling white but my arm got tired so quickly, I didn't really fill in the cracks properly and it looks sloppy. Some day I'll do it properly and maybe it will look as good as yours.

I installed beadboard in our basement a few Summers ago when my boys were gone on a guy trip and it is a pain to paint. Even white on pre primed white. Our kitchen back splash is beadboard and I've been successfully ignoring that it need fresh paint. Hope you're resting the claw today ;) It's looking really good in there. Look forward to seeing the built in bench project! Happy New Year.Shannon Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17327314550194073890noreply@blogger.com
