At the bottom you can see where I had rubbed the chalk on, and that the top you can see how it looks after it’s been smeared.
Big baseboards are really close to my heart and make me feel like all is right in the world, so that was a priority for this room.The ones we installed ended up being 11.5 inches tall.
If you tried to find baseboards like that and buy them by the foot, you’d probably end up spending thousands of dollars, just for one room.Our solution looks just as good, but costs very little in the end.We started with an 8″ wide MDF board (MDF is great if it will be painted because it’s so nice and straight) and we layered on a really inexpensive 3.5″ molding right on top.
The quarter round at the bottom finishes it off and keeps the whole thing from looking too plain.These baseboards are probably my favorite part of the room!.
We decided to try to copy the style of some of the original detail, to make the room seem a little more fancy than it really is.
We noticed that the moldings at the bottom of the door casings have an extra piece that kind of pops out, rather than having the casing go straight to the floor, so we copied that around the closet too.. It’s really simple, but it makes a difference in the room..There’s enough space for storage for anything that any of us may need room for over the next few years just in case we don’t get a chance to add another bathroom on to the house or remodel the tiny bathroom off of the kitchen.
This room is made for grassy toddler bath-times, teenagers who like to spend hours getting ready, and for guests to be able to run in to use without having to take their shoes off.And for moms who need somewhere that feels special and relaxing to hide out in at the end of a long day.
I’ll be going through the steps that we took to design our perfect bathroom vanity, as well as my tips and thoughts on what features you need and what you don’t, in an upcoming post soon!Keep your eyes peeled for that one!.
