Remember how I said I was going to finish the project today… I took a nap instead. I got another cubby mostly done and then brought the cloth cubes up that have all of the winter gloves, etc in them. I did get everything put away so that all I have to do is finish hanging the wallpaper and it will be a good stopping point.
Lessons learned:
- I was trying to do this cheap… so used the chip board… I would splurge for a little more expensive wood just so I wouldn’t get the random pieces falling off
- I would wallpaper my pieces together before hanging them and paint before and touch up after… The blog I followed painted after everything was in so I followed along, but didn’t work out as well fo rme.
- I suck with a paint gun… going to be cleaning those paint drops off of everything for a long time to come
- I would take more time to align the edges that are closest so that the edge banding wouldn’t warp so much… I think I will have to take some trim wood to it that’s a little stiffer to clean up how it looks, but for now.. it’s functional/ish.
