Routed Board and Bat
Even though I don't have the finished pictures yet and I forgot to take before pictures. Here is our second girls room. Lucky girl, her room was the most hideous, there wasn't even a window sill. It was painted two shades of white before and not well, might I add.
I learned how to use the router for this one. We did a lot of board and bat in our other house but I didn't like how it fit together, especially when we didn't remove the baseboards. I want to do something similar in my dining room but I wanted to practice in a room that would not be seen by me so much. So we first build the window sill. I think we did okay but Tim is not a perfectionist and neither am I, but I do aspire to be. Then I tore out the baseboards, I had Tim route them because he was refusing to buy me a router table (house hadn't sold) and I can't manipulate the router with these broken paws. But by the end of this project he bought and happily set up my router table and I have since used it to finish the project. We added shelves and a bit of decor but basically, besides that pink chalkboard door she is getting (she wanted beaded curtains on the closet but I couldn't find some that would hide the mess) this is it.
