My task this week is to get the door mouldings prepped and painted. We installed them just days before Christmas and I think I’ve procrastinated long enough. I’m one of those odd people that actually enjoys painting, however I find painting trim work extremely boring. I think it’s because I’m fanatical about taping everything off and by the time I get this done, I’m ready to call it a day and move onto something else (I have a very short attention span).

Unfortunately most of the original mouldings were long gone by the time we moved into the house. The two bedrooms are the only areas that still have their original baseboards and door trim. We wanted to get something similar to the original woodwork and chose pre-primed MDF rosettes and casings. It’s not exact, but so much better than the painted plastic that was up before.

So tomorrow I’ll grab my ladder, caulking gun and wood filler and get to work!
