Okay, now I'm definitely more afraid, but at least I will be prepared. <br /><br />I be sure to let you know how it all works out. Thank you for all your advice, it will definitely be taken!Robin M Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03702955349781701549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7726108441348262210.post-91800728689219215922010-04-16T07:20:53.458-04:002010-04-16T07:20:53.458-04:00Did you buy pre-primed molding or natural. My husb...Did you buy pre-primed molding or natural. My husband and I bought a home built in 1941 and put up extensive crown molding throughout the house. If you didn't buy the primed you might want to prime before hand (only mentioning it because it wasn't listed as a step in your post). It will really make the paint have a better end finish. Also, you really don't need the glue just the proper nails and a stud finder (laser levels are also a HUGE help). That way if you decide to take it down later it won't pull and damage the sheetrock with it. I can't wait to see the finished bed. Are you planning on adding the headboard/footboard or just painting the existing bed? Regarding the chalk, purchase dustless chalk. My friend made the mistake of buying dollar store/walmart chalk and she had colored chalk dust everywhere, the walls, her furniture, the floor, etc. She ordered dustless online and said it made her not regret her cool chalk board idea.

I'm not brave enough to attempt a project like that with my little 2.5 year old "Helper Bee". (It's taken me 4 months to choose a blue for the master bedroom. )I highly recommend a small hand held sander. It makes quick work of sanding, and is much easier on the hands.KelliJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7726108441348262210.post-52945390570823062842010-04-15T14:02:27.771-04:002010-04-15T14:02:27.771-04:00the sanding will really really suck BUT the rest ...the sanding will really really suck BUT the rest of the project will be just fine.

Wear a mask. Also, A nail gun will be super helpful when you do the molding. Maybe think about renting one from Home Depot or borrowing one from your local hardware store. You can do it! And once you do, you'll want to do more. Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7726108441348262210.post-2412848511851230832010-04-15T12:41:12.104-04:002010-04-15T12:41:12.104-04:00It looks completely do-able to me.
