  • Today we are painting my board & batten wall with hidden doors! I am excited to see them the same color as everything else, and we thought of an idea to solve a problem & add a little extra pizazz!
    Hey there! My name is Abby and I recently bought a MAJOR fixer upper house. I am SO excited to work on fixing it up this old house and turning it into my dream home. I can't wait to take you on this journey with me! I am planning to DIY as much as I can and learn so much about home renovations along the way. I am starting out totally clueless so I am sure it will be a grand adventure! Follow along on my channel if you want to see DIY projects, renovating a house on a budget, and I am sure a lot of craziness along the way! I'm just a girl with a drill and a dream.

    I love all the descriptions. It's not the bedroom, it's the wonderful bedroom. It's not the closets, it's the beautiful closets. Love your enthusiasm! Keep up the great work and the awesome videos. I look forward to watching each and every one of them !!! Thanks Abby and of course. Thanks Jay!!!

    I’ve found when caulking use a baby wipe to spread out the caulk. Dampness keeps it smooth and your hands stay clean. 😊

    Having kept house 51 years and renovating 6 of our homes in various ways, utilizing semi-gloss for trim is the best option. High gloss is a bear to remove if you change your mind at some point, and over the years, things do change, as does your decor preferences. Go semi-gloss for trim and molding. Walls do well with egg shell finish. They are still washable, but little to no sheen. Decisions, decisions😅
    Your cubby doors are gorgeous 😊

    Abby you need a wet rag w/o color and wipe your caulk line/ bead. It'll make it look more polished and professional. Also use a water based caulk for painting. tub and tile caulk for wet areas.

    Abby, 2 options on the cracks. You'll have to bevel the end of the little trim piece closets the the hing so it doesn't bind. Or no trim piece at all. I think you'll find that once the room is full of furniture and stuff, you won't notice the cracks at all??

    Hi Abby when you caulk, before you run your finger across, dip your finger tip in a small amount of dish soap. It runs over it much more smoothly and less of the caulk sticks to your finger.

    If I were you, I'd go top quality and generous with the ceiling fans. We usually have a few 100"+F days here in Western Colorado on the edge of the desert. The ceiling fans are a life saver, and keep us from having to suffer the high energy bills of our AC. I have friends in Florida who are also big on ceiling fans. I might screen in the porches if I were you, too. It's nice to sit out in the evenings without being tortured by mosquitoes. 😊😊🙏🙏

    You should wood glue them before nailing, no screws. Corners would fit if they were beveled, at the end.
    No more nails !! Each trim , if glued, should only need 3 or 4 , not a dozen. All in tall, the build is looking very nice

    Abby, with all the trim and finish work in your future, get small needle nose pliers for removing finish nails. Inexpensive and will be your best friend…..not crowbars or hammers. 😂
    So proud of you. Looking amazing. Yes. Regular wall paint in same finish for that wall. Door, window, and baseboard trim in semi-gloss - so much easier to clean. Doesn’t look shiny or “glossy”. Not sure if you have decided on baseboards yet, but highly recommend a tall baseboard - 5” -6”. Would really elevate the space. Ideally something with a small rounded top to deter dust. Anyway, really getting to the fun stuff now. Just know we’re cheering from the sidelines!😂

    Caulking is not the same as spackling.....put is on and level it off to fill the cracks....no sanding should be necessary...I see you seem to be building up the crack too much so you have to sand over them. Looks like good coverage. Would be a much more finished look when you paint the inside of the doors and walls.
