Before and After

So, as most of you know, I grew up in this house we now own. It was built in the mid century and a few of the rooms have knotty pine wood paneling that I've really been wanting to change. Last weekend, we decided to start with the office. I did a bunch of research on how to paint over it. This meant washing, sanding, treating all the knots with BIN, priming and then painting a couple of coats. We also painted the trim which had never been painted before. Tim did most of the work, and he was way more patient about the process. It was a bit tricky, but we are super happy with the results! Maybe the kitchen next?! Here's a few photos... (we are still working on setting up the room.)
