Happy Friday!
I hope you’ve had a great week – I have been uber-busy transforming this naughty knotty pine room into something bright, fresh and inviting. It has been a challenge, because apparently, knotty pine doesn’t go gently into that goodnight. But, I’m beating painting it into submission. I look forward to sharing a tutorial to hopefully ease your pain if this project is on your home improvement list.
Let’s look at the progress, shall we? Here it is before I got started.
Although, I think to really appreciate it, you need to see the room when they were looking at the house. These homeowners really had vision.
Another angle – before:
Now:
I was so excited to take a break from naughty knotty pine to slap a first coat of paint on the door. It’s this lovely, sunny yellow – Hawthorne Yellow, by Benjamin Moore.

August 10, 2018 at 11:44 pmHave any of the knots come through since you did this work.. I am undertaking a large knotty pine room and have heard that nothing stops this knots from bleeding through…..not shellac or Kilz Bin Zinsser

Thanks!
