favorite big glass jars.
The door and all the moldings around the door are original.Although, the people here before us did some funky things with the door casing when they put the paneling in back in the day, it’s overall still in pretty good shape, so we kept it all..
Same with around the window.If it’s attractive enough, and going to be hidden by the curtains anyway, go with good enough!.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.We could see that there was water from the shower getting into the floor and that it had probably been that way for quite some time.
After a couple of years using the bathroom, we started to have visible mold showing up on the floor.That’s when we stopped using the washroom and just closed the door.
Shortly after that, we decided to go ahead and have the whole thing gutted professionally to make sure we were doing it safely.With a blank slate, and the room completely torn down to the studs, we started to get excited about the possibilities.
