Here’s how it looks today!.
There are always unforeseen gaps and weird angles when you’re working with old houses like this!Sometimes those gaps aren’t really a big deal, but sometimes they can just ruin the whole look of a room.. Chris cut this long skinny wedge to fit right into the gap.
Adhesive is perfect for a situation like this because any other form of fastening either wouldn’t have anywhere to hold on to, or would split the tiny piece of wood.We just spread a little bit on the edges of the wood with a piece of cardboard and popped it into place!.I finished up with a nice bead of caulk over the whole area..
Instead of a weird dark gap, it’s looks nice and clean!We also fitted a little piece of wood over the little trench in the ceiling where the wires were.
Again, adhesive is great for this because you don’t want to risk having a nail or a screw slip even a fraction of an inch in a situation where you’re so close to wires!.
Of course we really (really really) need to get those ceilings painted once all of these little finishing touches are done on the room!This post contains affiliate links.I’m so terrible at sharing where and how and why I find some of the things I use in the rooms and projects that I share around here and you all are so good at keeping me on my toes with that!
I seem to always be answering all of these individual questions about where to find certain things and what paint colors I’ve used, but I never actually get my act together and include them in my actual blog posts for everyone to access.I’m trying to get better at it!.
I thought I’d sit down today and go through all of my sources for.my new living room update.
