172 Feet of Trim

We are almost done in the dining room. We counted! It has 172 feet of painted trim; around the doors, windows, ceiling, chair molding and base molding
Most of it is reused from before, except for the trim around the new, peninsula area opening. We have prepared all of it by sanding, detailing (Spackle, wood putty, etc), priming and painting. So, we have gone over every inch of it at least three times!

One trick Sami uses to sand all of the peaks and valleys is to use the small emery board cubes she is given when she gets a pedicure. They hold up really well and yet can be pushed into the little edges and rounded areas of the trim.

We hope to post a picture of the finished dining room very soon.
