And if I don’t know the answer, I’ll make one up on the spot. Just ask me a question and I’ll have an answer. You don’t even have to use the (truly offensive) “gun to your head” metaphor with me. I agreed and started pinning inspiration for that too. Mac was on board, and even floated the idea of a dark accent wall in our master bedroom. Or a deep navy library, with aged leather furniture and vintage sconces emitting a warm glow (a version of this is actually happening!!). A monochromatic gray kitchen, with lime washed walls and art ledges for vintage oil paintings. Maybe we’d do a black bathroom, with brass fixtures and green cabinets. I started pinning all sorts of dark moody rooms. But once the initial renovation slowed down, we got to take time more time to think about how we wanted to rest of the house to look.Īnd we didn’t want the whole house to be white. I don’t regret it – those rooms feels so happy and bright. And when my dad asked me what we were doing with the trim I quickly said “white, just the same thing all over… right?” White walls, white trim, white baseboards. SO… we went with white.Ī lot of people had said to me “paint it white, live with it, see how you feel in a few months.” Which is good advice. Suddenly we were ready to paint the first rooms in the house (the living room, dining room, and front bedroom), and we had to make a decision real quick. Those days slipped by like too hot jello. We only had about 5 weeks to get the house in good enough shape for us to move in, and we had decided to basically gut the place. Like, having to make 1 million decisions every day fast. Our ideas were only limited by our own determination to make them a reality (and I guess money, but BORING).īut as soon as the renovation got started in the front part of the house (before we had even moved in), it moved FAST. Owning our own home meant we were finally able to do whatever we wanted, without being at the mercy of a landlord. It’s just what I thought you did *shrugging emoji*. I’d painted a few apartment walls in the past, but I’d always taped off the trim. And to be totally honest, I had never really considered the trim in a room before. At least, not until Mac and I bought our house. I’d never had to make a decision about trim before in my life. Or if you just like riveting renovation stories, this is also for you. Why rewrite what has already been so perfectly written (personal story included!)? So if you’ve been questioning what the heck to do with your trim then this is the post for you. We then both remembered that Sara wrote an incredible post about her trim journey over two years ago when she was renovating. Earlier this week, Ryann and I were talking about post ideas and Ryann mentioned the idea of painted trim options.
