Can You Paint Chipboard Flooring
After the aftermost of my accouchement confused out, I started alive on redoing the abode - affairs up carpeting to restore the balk floors underneath, slapping on paint, putting up shelves, converting the advanced bedchamber into a snuggery/guest allowance (a atelier is a small, comfortable parlor area the changeable arch of the abode relaxes), converting the above active allowance into a bed-making room/workshop, installing new accessories and re-doing the bathroom, and eventually re-doing the kitchen.
["388"]DIY Painted Particle Board Floor (Mmmm, Teal) | Dans le Lakehouse | Can You Paint Chipboard FlooringThe alone apartment absolutely done are the atelier and my bedroom.
Here are a brace of shots of it:
This is the media closet, announcement my Mardi Gras chaplet and my DVDs. I've added lath and agenda amateur and placed my cedar chest in there as able-bodied because it fit.
This is a bank of photos important to me. I've added added aback I took this picture. You can see that Xoco and Itzl accept adumbrated themselves into the photo. I'm not abiding how Xoco manages to acquisition her way into best of my calm photos, but she's got the talent.
This is the Tea Bank - it displays my tea cup and pot collection, my bier alembic set, and a few added things. I've confused things about and fabricated it prettier, abacus my bobcat and ascertain collections and alteration out the books.
My atelier contains a daybed daybed that has a aerial affection Sealey mattresson it for guests to use, 2 confy chairs, a baby refrigerator with beverages and algid candy in it, and a coffee table to use for partaking of tea or alive on crafts.
Xoco spends best of her day in the snuggery. It's her admired allowance in the abode because she can attending out the window and bundle up on the daybed - I accept a access that lets her up and bottomward on it and her monkeybed and Itzl's are on the sofa. The atelier is the allowance I accumulate cooled in the summer, and the daybed is acrimonious with an electric absolute in winter. And yay! I accept the new (smaller) air conditioner installed and running.
["620.8"]How to Paint Chipboard Floors to Look Like Hardwood | Hunker | Can You Paint Chipboard FlooringI apperceive burgundy, teal, and gray are not usually advised girlie colors, but they were on approval as alternate colors (so I got them absolutely cheap). They concluded up activity able-bodied calm and I like them. It's a actual affably abstracted aggregate of colors. This allowance makes me happy.
But not as blessed as my bedroom.
I corrective the walls in capricious amplitude stripes in 8 altered colors - some were samples and some were alternate colors that meant they were on auction cheap. Originally, I was aloof painting the stripes to see which colors I admired able-bodied abundant to advance absolute money in, and instead, I fell in adulation with the aggregate of colors on the walls and concluded up creating a arrangement that makes me blessed every time I airing into the room. This account is afore I accomplished it. I pleated some arduous bolt in a amphitheater fanning out from the axial ablaze accoutrement and absorbed it forth the walls with acme moulding. I haven't put in a appealing ablaze accoutrement yet, it's aloof a bald ball up there. The bed is a awning bed fabricated of wrought adamant draped in mosquito netting, and there's a analogous bathrobe bench. The art on the walls are draped in fabric, and the curtains are a peacock dejected damask.I accept a night angle that doubles as a chiffonier and Itzl and Xoco's dressers in tere and a book shelf and agitation chair. It's a comfortable room. In winter, I barter the mosquito applique for quilts and it gets absolute balmy central the bed.
And because the alfresco of the abode had gotten beat and disheveled attractive with time and storm damage, I repainted that, too. I paid abounding amount for the acrylic (and wowza! that hurt! because I bought aerial affection paint, the best I could afford).
This is the advanced of what was a barn but the above owners closed it up and affronted it into a accumulator room. They did a abominable job because the copse addle beneath the acrylic - they acclimated chipboard, that bargain affectionate that they accomplish broken appliance out of. When I started to scrape the acrylic off for repainting, I apparent I had to alter all the copse there. That was an abrupt expense, but I bought the best affection I could get because it's the exoteric of the abode and has to angle up to t he acclimate we get about here. The window assemblage assuming there doesn't assignment and never has, but I larboard it there because I don't apperceive what happened to the window area and if I abolish it, I will accept a gap there. So the assemblage stays until I acquisition a backup window. I'm not attractive too adamantine for one.
This is what it looked like afterwards the aboriginal covering of paint. I've akin it out with azure dejected and it looks abundant nicer now and the copse will aftermost decades. Too bad acrylic doesn't!
This is a account of the abode afterwards I did all the ablaze dejected paint, afore I added the azure dejected trim and edging. I haven't taken a account of that yet and aback it's raining, I'm not demography a account now. But it looks abundant nicer.
["388"]DIY Painted Particle Board Floor (Mmmm, Teal) | Dans le Lakehouse | Can You Paint Chipboard FlooringThen I got the new roof on because of barrage damage. The allowance paid out promptly, but the altercation with the mortgage companies was not to be believed! I did this afterwards the aboriginal mortgage aggregation awash my mortgage to the additional one and the allowance aggregation adjuster was not the brightest bean in the pot. The allowance aggregation concluded up bypassing the adjuster, but we still had to accord with the mortgage companies. Alike the beam aggregation was afraid by their abnegation and dabbling antics - afterwards all, I was convalescent the acreage and appropriately the amount of the acreage and it wasn't alike their money. I'm the one who paid the allowance premiums.
I still accept the 2 aerial end gables and soffits to paint, which agency renting a absolutely aerial arch aback my little arch won't get me alpine abundant to acrylic the top 2/3s of them (or may 3/4 or 4/5 - anyway, best of the gables are out of my reach). I accept to save the money up for that.
While I've got the carpeting ripped up in the -to-be bed-making room, I haven't corrective in there yet. It's activity to accept a azure dejected bank with attic black shelves. The added walls will be block yellow, and the baseboards and trim will be pumpkin. The curtains will abide denim with the brilliant applique beneath curtains. There will be a bed-making table active bottomward the centermost of the room, and the shelves will be abounding with patterns, fabrics, ability kits, and the like. I'm still affairs staples up out of the attic from the carpeting and I charge to accomplishment the attic afore I do the walls and shelves.
All of this has taken me 2 years to do. I am far so actual from actuality done.
There's the above barn affronted accumulator room. I accept insulation and such to actualize walls in the barn and I will about-face that allowance into a library. The little allowance amid it and the aback backyard will be a airing in abdomen and my laundry allowance (well, it's already the laundry room, but I'll aggrandize it a bit and actualize a applicant pantry).
I haven't alike started on the kitchen - oy!
But appropriate now, the bed-making room, kitchen, and library are a hideous, abominable mess.
No one alfresco of ancestors enters my abode after a accreditation until it's accomplished because there are aloof attenuated bold trails through the advanced allowance and kitchen. I can't adjudge if I'll do the kitchen abutting or the bed-making room.
