The Family Room part II - Little details matter

Happy Friday!

Back with more family room post. I have been working all week so little by little, we are getting there.

We have this huge beautiful window with a nice view to our backyard. It is unfinished which means we scored a brand new Andersen window with the house, but as it is unfinished it needed some work before it could be painted.

It had a bunch of little nail holes...

And a few, huge gaps...

Some wood filler, spatula and sanding block did the trick.

I love to live within 5 minutes of Home Depot and another 5 minutes to Lowes, but when I discovered remembered the misfortunes, it was actually too late to run there, thus I had to wait until the next day, which brings on the next question: Why aren't hardware stores open 24 hours? I should start a petition asking Lowes to keep their store open 24 hours ;-P
















I also took off the vent covers before painting, and while they were off, I noticed how dirty they were, so they took a deep in soapy water only to discover that they were also kind of yellowish, I ran to the garage and grabbed the "best ever DIY tools ever" - spray paint and primer - and now they look brand new.

... and finally, yesterday night, DBF headed over to Lowes to pick up new molding, there was some molding in the room, OK, maybe like 1/8 of the room had molding and we were just going to buy the same, but it was too plain and blah! so we upgraded to something "fancier"

   

 We have great friends, always willing to help, here is friend Sal (or his hands) with the Miter saw... And that is when I realized it was almost 12 and time to go to bed, and happily for them :-) the boys were let on their own.

 It was great to wake up and see all the molding totally done, but I was already running late and had no time to snap a picture for the blog. Tonight I should be able to finish painting the windows / doors frames and the molding, then there will come the next post, hopefully before the weekend's end.

Until next time,
