I had hoped to remove to the paneling from the door, but unfortunately, it was holding in the lock set. I was a bit disappointed that my original door was going to look like a modern hollow-core door. I decided that trimming out the door would help. As I was going through some boxes, I found an Asian-Inspired wall hanging and a picture frame that I could use to add some depth to the door.

Turns out this old picture frame was just the right proportions. (c) Eric E. Paige, All Rights Reserved |
It took a couple of coats of the Durabond, and then, of course, was the sanding! Once everything was sanded, I primed with a stain blocking primer and then painted. The darker wood paneling had an exceptionally high amount of tannin bleeding through the water based stain block, so I ended up switching to an oil-based version (glad it was warm weather and that the room had windows!

Under the window was more damaged, so a different approach was required. (c) Eric E. Paige, All Rights Reserved |
The area under the window required special attention. Not only was the paneling patched (to cover the vent hole from an old heater or dryer), but it was warped and water damaged (from water getting in the vent hole). I had in my stash several cupboard doors that were just the right height to panel under the window. The doors were slightly narrower than I wanted, but I filled in the gaps with stock modeling (parting stop) and 1" x 4" lumber.
These doors were all the same style, but not the same color. Ahh the magic of primer! (c) Eric E. Paige, All Rights Reserved |

All of the pieces in place. The wall was warped, so I had to install the shoe-mold right away to hold everything in place. (c) Eric E. Paige, All Rights Reserved |

The original baseboard was not only ugly, but it it didn't fit right. The floor also has quite a slant since this was originally a porch. I used a combination of 1" x 4" and 1" x 6" to make a new baseboard.

The last thing to paint and trim out was the back door. I didn't feel like buying another can of paint, so I took some leftover paint and custom tinted it. It took 3 tries, but I finally got the color I wanted.

Once the trim work was complete, I painted the floor, hung the curtains and moved in some furniture.

Media cabinet, turned art-supply storage! (c) Eric E. Paige, All Rights Reserved |
The room has undergone a few changes since I finished it. The media cabinet pictured above was given to me several months after I finished the space. I've since moved in a larger table and I mostly use the space for art projects that don't require paint or glue. If your wondering how I got such a big piece of furniture in there, well that's a story for another post....
