It’s all hands on deck here with the remodel/ repair job. Sugarwings has been quite helpful with pulling up nails, hauling supplies, carrying out trash, etc.
I have been painting wood to use on one wall where the drywall was especially bad.
This design element accidentally developed.
My son is a carpenter, he can do dry wall work, but doesn’t like it. We were gifted a truckload of these rough hewn boards. Rich and I were tired of the wasted space taken up by an extra door that was rarely used. That doorway wall also had drywall that needed replaced, while the other walls just needed patching.
All of those elements pulled together to make a decision to panel over that door with our free wood.
So, I painted away the lodge/cedary-orange look. First the wood needed major sanding. When I said ROUGH hewn, I meant it. Splintery rough!
I used mostly watered down white paint, but I added some gray and brown here and there. I’m pretty excited about how the finished project will look. And am looking forward to seeing my boy in action, working with the planks to create the siding.
