Front Room Closet: Painting & New Closet Floor

This is where we left off last time.

And this is what it looks like at present.

So, you can see two changes, the walls painted and a new closet floor.

The paint was leftover from another project and I wasn't sure I'd have enough, but I managed to get two coats on both walls and ceiling. It's a very pale yellow. After Dan re-installs the quarter-round trim in the corners, I'll use the last of the can for touch up. It could probably use a third coat but being a closet, it's doubtful anyone will pay much attention to the walls.

Next, Dan wanted to do something about the floor. The quickest, cheapest option was unfinished shiplap boards. They need trim, stain, and a poly finish. 

Next, is closet doors.

Wow! Such a difference with two relatively simple upgrades.

Paint is one of the cheapest most profound changes one can do to improve the feeling of a room.

Daisy, yes! It covers a multitude of visual flaws. :)

Ed, so true. Whether a fresher, cleaner look or a change of color, it's an excellent improvement.
