Hey! Hello! Guten Tag!
It's been a minute.
We are getting nicely settled into the new normal that having a baby brings about and, while I can't say each day is highly organized and all of the gears shift together, I can say that...well, organization is for the birds at this point and I'm not even sure all the gears are here. Hahahaha...hahaha...ha...like I said, new normal.
This new normal has allowed for some quick and easy projects (emphasis on quick and easy) and one of those involves painting baseboards. You might remember that we laid new floors last Thanksgiving. They're still awesome and we still love them but we don't love the baseboards above them that we just haven't gotten around to painting...until last week, when I started the process in the dining room.
I'm slightly ashamed of how long they've been the yellowy-beige color (we bought the house with them this color) but really only slightly. Baseboards aren't one of those things you first notice when walking into a home and so I guess I've really relied on that fact...or at least lied to myself and gotten away with it. ;)
Either way, the dining room baseboards finally look fresh in Pure White by Sherwin-Williams and match the ceilings and crown moulding. Side note: If I could go back in time, I would have planned to paint them to match the wall color. I've felt myself drifting towards painting all trim to match the wall color lately but I pre-painted the base shoe moulding before we installed it after the flooring went in and I really don't like spending time painting trim (it's the worst) so I'm not going to go back and repaint everything. Maybe some other day in the far future. What do you think? Are you team moulding is all the same color, different from the wall color or paint them both to match? Maybe it depends on the room...
While I was painting the baseboards though, my eyes crash-slammed into the electrical outlets in the room.
