I ran a utility knife along the top to cut the caulking from the wall and then used a crow bar to pry the old baseboard off. I threw that baby in the trash since the baseboards will be replaced when we do the new flooring.
After the spackle was dry I sanded, sanded and sanded some more, caulked the horizontal battens where they met the wall, and finially rolled on a coat of white satin aint over the battens.
Here is how it turned out!
We hung my DIY sunburst mirror up right before taking these pictures. I centered with the top row of squares but now I am starting to wonder if it would look better centered between the headboard and ceiling. I can’t decide though, thoughts anyone?
Linking up to these awesome parties!
