-2 tbsp chipotle dipping sauce (find it near the dressings and sandwich spreads!).
Previously, I had made these rustic burlap valances in the Fall, just for fun.They were fine for then, but it was time for something a little more polished.
Even though we’re not ready to tackle painting the cabinets and replacing the countertops in the kitchen, it’s time to make it feel a little more finished and comfortable..When the burlap was down, I measured the window from side to side including the moldings.Since this window was sandwiched between two cabinets, we realized we would just need one straight piece of cornice for a nice clean look and wouldn’t need to attach the end cap pieces..
I laid out two section pieces end to end and then trimmed a bit off of the third piece to make up the 40 inches that I would need total.I used my very best empty cat litter box to cut on.
It was actually great because it caught any little pieces of styrofoam that came off.
The video suggested using a little saw or a utility knife for the cutting.We still need to add a few finishing touches before the “big reveal”, but it’s looking good.
We had one of those wonky walls in there so rather than fussing with it too much, we just went ahead and drywalled it!.Drywalling always seems to be one of those things that people talk about in hushed tones when they talk about home improvement.
If it’s in bad shape, they hope people won’t notice, but are secretly driven crazy by it because they think fixing it up is either going to a huuuge job or something that you really have to call a professional in for.If you have a wall that needs to be fixed up, just pull it down and throw a fresh sheet of drywall up there.
