I finally had time to dedicate to painting Mason's bedroom today which started at 8:30 am and went on until 5:00 pm , the first 3 hours or so consisted of clearing out the clutter which now is all over the place , I hate this part . I then removed the door casing and all of the baseboards , I always remove the cheap thin stuff if I wouldn't put it in , it needs to go before I make any effort to make the trim better , in all the bedrooms I have used all flat profile MDF 5 1/2 inches usually , which is what I will use in here too , it is pretty cheap and easy to build off of for things like board and batten and wainscoting too , Mason has asked for wainscoting on her bed wall only.

After the deconstruction and removal I then went onto filling every little hole , somewhere near 500 I estimate , although it was a big job I don't mind it is part of re-painting and redecorating , every few years is not too much to ask , these big holes above were from a floating shelf , I wanted a fresh blank slate to move things to new locations if we decided to do so , this required a lot of filling and a lot of sanding , I paid special attention to sanding down the stenciled pattern on the one wall , I didn't want those popping up in the new design.
