One Room Down....

Our washer and dryer share a room with the furnace and water heater. Happily, the builders put the less-flashy appliances behind the door, where they're less far less obtrusive. The downside is that they share the wall I chose to paint stripes on, and with the pipes and lack of space to work around, they were pretty much just in the way. So, I opted not to take the stripes the whole length of the wall, leaving a jaggedy-edge.

Now, I could have left it as it was; it was only bothering me, after all. But oh the bother! So, I opted to put a little bit of  a more intentional-looking finish on it.

First, I hung the molding (hooray for levels and knowing it's straight).

I had to cut 5.25" from a second piece of molding so that the line would go all the way from the floor to the ceiling. Then I patched and painted it all to make one cohesive line.

Voila! Much better. And now the painting in the laundry room is fully complete!
