ORC WEEK 4: Picture Frame Molding

Apr 30

We’re at the halfway point! Definitely feeling like it’s crunch time knowing the next 4 weeks will fly! Week 4 of the One Room Challenge was a big one! I completed the install of the picture frame molding and wallpaper is going up this Tuesday! It feels so good to have visual progress this week!

Here’s the week 4 plan:

Install picture frame molding - complete
Fill nail holes, sand and caulk - complete
Remove existing hardware (towel bar, towel ring, etc) - complete
Remove mirror - complete
Patch holes in drywall before wallpaper install - complete
Ordered more vanity lights - complete
Source vintage mirror - in process
Wallpaper install - scheduled for Tuesday (having professional install this)

MOLDING

I installed the chair rail in week 3 and finished cutting and installing all of the picture frame molding this week! It adds so much dimension and character to the space.

We live in condo without space to easily use an electric miter saw, so we opted for a miter box saw. We didn’t have many pieces to cut (6 picture frame boxes total) so the box saw worked well for us!

I used a laser level to install along with a handheld one to double and triple check. After the frames were up, I filled the nail holes, sanded and caulked. Now I just need to paint!

After wallpaper is up, my next step is deciding on paint color for the wainscoting. I am debating between a white or a lighter accent color pulled from the wallpaper. We shall see what I’m feeling once it’s up!

Below are priorities for next week. I want to ensure I have everything ordered to account for any delays and have plenty of time to style the space.
